Airodynamics as Art

They say that art is in the eye of the beholder, will I behold art.

This was a small picture on page 65 of the current issue (# 23) of HOG magazine (the scan does not do it justice).  The moment I saw it I began searching the web for this or similar photos, I did not find anything as nice as this.

Harley Davidson, if you were to offer framed versions of this for sell I think you would get a few takers. HOG how about making this available as a wallpaper for our computers/laptops/tablets.

Buell Blade

Buell Blade

Apparently Eric Buell is inspiring designers, even though the Buell line is currently closed.  Following “Buell’s engineering rules”, Brad Mitchell of the College for Creative Studies has developed “the Buell Blade”.

This is one cool design!

Top 10 Harley Davidsons

Motorcycle.com put together a “Top 10 Harley Davidsons” list by asking people in the industry what they thought were the best bikes.  The bikes on their list covered a large swath of Harley history.

Although they did not ask me I will give you my #1 Harley.  For me, it is the Heritage Softail Classic.  With this bike Harley has encapsulated their historic look with current technology. Styling from the 1940’s, softail replacing ridged, fuel injection, saddlebags and lots of chrome; this is a bike that blends it all together.  This bike has been around for a while too, starting production in 1986.

Plus I own one!

I have had a couple posts lately regarding the Star Bolt and the customization of that bike, so I thought I should post something about how people are customizing the original.   I looked at several custom “Sporties” but I settled on this one.

The “Lumberjack” by French builder Comete Motorcycles is a mean looking Sportster.  Setup for off-road use, the bike has multiple custom parts, all of which you can buy from Comete Motorcycles, to build your own Lumberjack but it looks like you will need to supply the chainsaw!

To help promote its new Bolt Star put together a contest between custom bike shops and used social media to find a winner. They sent bikes to 10 shops for the competition which was won by Doc’s Chops.

I readily admit that the custom bikes that the shops put out are very cool. Take a look at results of the competition here.

The latest version of Paul Teutul Senior’s television career premiers tonight on CMT. Orange County Choppers will, based on what I have read and seen, will follow the same route as the previous incarnations of his shows.

From the CMT website about tonights show: “GAF, the largest manufacturer of roofing in North America, approaches Paul Senior about building a bike for them. The only issue is they want it built in time to give it away to a veteran at Sturgis, which is only two and-a-half weeks away”
