Performance Times

    10 years of Born Free. Starting in a parking lot in So Cal, this show has progressed from just a lot to one of the biggest weekend events around. Bringing out killer motorcycles from not only California, but the entire country, and even abroad - it's not unusual to see some crazy Japanese choppers...

    Thomas of Zero Hour may not be fast but he sure is patriotic!

    Carburetors are a bit magical. They drink from a tank of volatile liquid, mix in oxygen they found laying around and create a perfectly proportioned explosive mixture, yet allow you to control the delivery with a subtle twist of your wrist. Magic, indeed. The folks at S&S Cycle have long ago sorted...

This is hands down, one of the cleanest builds I have seen as of late. Normally, the FXD...

    Every year, we roll out to the desert of Nevada for this little oasis right on the Colorado River - Laughlin. Situated 90-ish miles south of Vegas, and about an hour above Lake Havasu sits a little town made up mostly of casinos.

    The HD®Dyna®platform may have ceased production, but they remain an important part of the custom scene and companies like S&S Cycle continue to make cool parts for them!

    You may have heard of Xavier Muriel, but you've definitely heard him play music. He's a professional drummer, formerly in the well-known band Buckcherry. But did you know that he builds motorcycles too? We caught up with him down in his hometown of Austin, Texas during the Giddy Up Motorcycle Show...

    It's been a long winter.  No really. It's been a really, really, long winter. At least, here in Wisconsin. If you're somewhere with snow, you know what I'm talking about. But, it's springtime, and it's time to get that bike out of the garage and back on the road.
    The rain couldn’t stop the anticipated AFT battle in Atlanta, GA, pushing the remainder of the racing activities back a day at Dixie Speedway on Saturday, April 7th, 2018. When racing resumed on that Sunday afternoon, it was Jared Mees who came out firing for the win. 
    Mees understood the...

    Bikes, BBQ, and Lone Stars in the Lone Star State. That's Giddy Up in a nutshell.

    "Midwest is best" is a popular catch phrase around these parts, and the Donnie Smith Bike & Car show is definitely one of the best!This year was my first time attending this show, and it didn't disappoint whatsoever.

    We had the pleasure to have Charlie Stockwell visit the S&S Ranch recently before his Brewtown Throwdown build off. We talked about how he got started building motorcycles. 

    Mark Atkins may have an alter ego problem. You may know him as Mark or you may know him as Rusty Butcher. Mark is well known for his crazy motorcycle riding antics on a Sportster, jumping things that shouldn't be jumped and riding where others wouldn’t even go on a dirt bike, nonetheless a 500lb...
