    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. It's been going on for 31 years now, hosted by Donnie Smith himself, a legend in...

    by Savannah Rose / March 26, 2018

    Daytona Bike Week.

    What a weekend - from the indoor racing of Flat Out Friday to the first real motorcycle show of the year, Mama Tried,Milwaukee was overtaken by racers, choppers, and motorcyclists of all kinds.This year, Mama Tried Motorcycle Show moved to a new venue - the Eagles Club, located near Downtown...

    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...

    S&S Cycle has created the next level in high performance bagger exhaust! Merging a full flow stainless header into a highly engineered collector and culminating in a 4.5" muffler, the new Sidewinder represents the perfect combination of style and power. S&S also includes their removable dB reducer...

    The latest iteration of the beloved big twin is proving to be a stout motor that responds well to hop ups and a sound flogging, making it a favorite of ours. One of the components we were not happy with is the plastic tappet guides that could potentially let tappets twist under high RPM and when...

    Here we are again - it’s nearly February, which in Wisconsin, is a frigid, frozen month - a month where we are nearly finished with our winter builds, exasperation is building with the chilly temperatures, and we are impatiently waiting to get on our bikes and ride.
    Hey guys, Savannah here. A couple months back you read a little about my HD ®Sportster ® build - and I’m here to tell you a little more about what I did with this bike, and what I do at S&S.
    Performance camshafts are one of the most effective tools  for increasing the performance of an engine. It doesn’t matter if it’s a car, truck, or motorcycle. Unfortunately camshafts are also one of the most misunderstood performance components in the entire history of engines.

    2018 is shaping up to be an epic year in the world of flat track racing with a highly competitive field and the largest contingency program in the history of the sport. One of the standouts is S&S Cycle whose high performance exhaust were often seen on the podium last year. This season they’ve...

    On December 21st, 2017 we said goodbye and good luck to Bruce Tessmer who retired from S&S Cycle after 30 years. Bruce was the Marketing Projects Coordinator at S&S Cycle in Viola, WI. During his 30 years he had worked in shipping, production, and R&D. He was also the original head of the S&S Tech...
