Check out the latest fad for tikes on bikes.
The Smoke Out is about choppers. It is about builders, from professional builders to those bloody-knuckled guys (and ladies) burning the midnight oil in an unheated shed to build a chopper they can call their own. Chops of all makes are featured, American, British, Japanese, everything. <a href=”http://www.ironcross.net”>Click here</a> for all the details.

Harbortown Bobber
I’ve plugged the Harbortown Bobber flick before, but I finally got a chance to watch it and I’ve got to say, it exceeded my expectations. Scott and Zach from Oneworld are no strangers to directing kick-ass moto movies - both Choppertown & Brittown slayed the small screen. They set the bar high for modern motorcycle documentaries, and their newest flick delivers the goods again.This is not a fluff piece - it’s a perfect mix of the story behind a D.I.Y motorcycle build with enough footage and detail to leave you feeling like you actually learned something. Not that we should expect anything less from these two, but I always get stoked to see them hit it out of the park again. The segments with Irish Rich and Earl Kane are worth the price of admission alone. As good as their previous 2 films, if not better. The DVD is finally available for sale on their website, make sure to go pick up a copy.http://www.harbortownbobber.com/Harbortown Bobber
FLYRITE DOUBLE TROUBLE
Some motorcycles seem to be sacrosanct when it comes to customizing, while others are fair game. So you see quite a few Triumph Trophy customs, and not many Nortons. But Jason Kidd, owner ofFlyrite Choppers, has no qualms: his extraordinary ‘Double Trouble’ custom has not one, but two1960s Norton Atlas 750 twins nestling in the frame. (By my calculation, that means an output of 110bhp or more.) It could have been a monstrosity, but the result is clean, classy and attention grabbing. And given that it’s hard enough to get a single-engined bike looking good, this is quite an achievement. Flyrite’s down-to-earth philosophy no doubt plays a part—as befits an NHSTA-licensed manufacturer, their bikes are soundly engineered: on Double Trouble, there’s a place for everything, and everything is in its place. “At Flyrite Choppers we build bikes the way they used to be: basic, bare bones, wrench-on-it-yourself for the real motorcycle rider. We have basic principles that we adhere to when building a bike.” Despite taking top honors at last year’s Harvest Classic European and Vintage Motorcycle Rally in Luckenbach, there are surprisingly few images of Double Trouble around—so we have Texas-based photographer Bill Fraser to thank for sending these in. If you like the bike enough, it can be yours—it’s for sale for $40,000. Emailflyrite@flyritechoppers.com if you’re interested. [More shots after the tech sheet below.]
![Every few months, a bike comes along that completely stops me in my tracks. Like this one: an Art Deco-influenced machine that could have come straight from the pen of Harley Earl. The bike caused a stir last month when it appeared at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet, a popular motorcycle show held a couple of hours drive north of NYC. Word started to spread. And with the help of a few Bike EXIF readers, we’ve tracked down the details—and got some shots thanks to Grail Mortillaro of the excellent grassroots chopper blog Knucklebuster.
The machine is apparently based on a 1930 Henderson—presumably the 100 mph (160 km/h) Streamline model—and was built in 1936 by a gent called O. Ray Courtney. Today the bike is owned by Frank Westfall of Syracuse, a motorcycle collector and local identity, who was seen happily riding this extraordinary motorcycle around the showgrounds. According Mortillaro, “The craftsmanship is absolutely stunning and it’s surely more of a museum piece than a daily rider. Frank has obviously spent an incredible amount of time meticulously restoring and rebuilding the bike to its current gorgeous state.”
As a marque, Henderson is unfortunately consigned to the annals of history, despite a short-lived attempt to revive the name in the late 90s. But until its demise in 1931, the Excelsior Motor Mfg. & Supply Co.—the owner of the Henderson brand—was one of the ‘Big Three’ American motorcycle manufacturers, along with Harley-Davidson and Indian. There must be more remarkable Henderson customs out there—if you know of any, drop us a line.
