Forged, Custom Sport Chief Series: PowerPlant Motorcycles

By General Posts

Three builders, three interpretations.

The first builder is Yaniv Evan from Powerplant Motorcycles. Self-taught during the height of the early 2000s chopper scene, Yaninv is now a west coast performance cruiser kingpin – spending the last few years cranking out a series of highly influential builds for some of Hollywood’s biggest names.

Watch Carey Hart visit the shop and peel back Yaniv’s vision for the Sport Chief in this video:

I’m facing a number of challenges. I’ve also faced some pressure lately and I don’t like to associate pressure or stress with building motorcycles. Hell, I moved to motorcycle Nirvana in the Black Hills to duck the bullshit California riders face daily.

I thought I could just tinker in the shop in Sturgis for hours unencumbered, without anxiety or worry, especially in the winter. I don’t have a deadline for this bike, what gives? Hell, I don’t know. I started to lean on myself to get shit done, so that’s why I’m writing about it, so I face the music and stop. Okay, did it work?

Goddammit, this puppy is going to be cool or I’ll die trying, right. Hang on for the next episode.

Harley Financials and Growth Prospects for 2023

By General Posts

by Bandit

I’m not a financial advisor. I’d rather build another motorcycle than chase the stock market. But take a look at my portfolio. I have maybe 20 motorcycles, one triumph, one Indian (I had two but traded my ’46 for a ’50 bobbed Panhead). What does that tell you? I’m a Harley guy. All bikers have a special relationship with Harley-Davidson. The question always is: Does the factory respect and embrace that relationship?

So, the final quarter, yearend financials surfaced, but they weren’t posted like they were in the past, you had to ask for them. However, the factory slipped into the mainstream media spotlight leading into 2023, in some troubling ways, and others indicate positive growth.

The Chrome Rebels Bikernet Weekly News for February 23, 2023

I guess I am asking where do the Chrome Rebels fit into the history of Harley-Davidson and the current motorcycle culture. The choppers that folks said died a couple of times is back. In reality, Choppers never died.

They just ducked underground for a spell. So, what does the chopper represent to you. Is it sex, drugs and rock and roll?

My question in the intro about the outlaw plight of the biker is an interesting challenge. In a sense this is all about riding free into the future. Hang on!
