Motorcycle History

American Motorcycle History

Motorcycles vary considerably depending on the task they are designed for, such as long distance travel, navigating congested urban traffic, cruising, sport and racing, or off-road conditions.


Motorcycles are one of the most affordable forms of motorized transport in many parts of the world and, for most of the world’s population, they are also the most common type of motor vehicle. There are around 200 million motorcycles (including mopeds, motor scooters, motorized bicycles, and other powered two and three-wheelers) in use worldwide, or about 33 motorcycles per 1000 people. This compares to around 590 million cars, or about 91 per 1000 people. (more…)

Ironhorse Texas Chopper for Sale

Ironhorse Texas Chopper for Sale 2006 Under 9,4000 miles!

**NOW SOLD**  MAKES FOR PERFECT BALANCE AND VERY RIDER FRIENDLY CHOPPER. THIS BIKE IS SUPER CLEAN & in 2014 won Best Custom Bike in six out of eight local car/bike shows! The down-side of this bike is that if you don’t want to draw massive attention riding or even parked . . . THIS BIKE IS NOT FOR YOU! You would be much better off with a standard, non-descript, mass-produced Harley! The brilliant blue paint and chrome make this a shining star.

Big Dog K9 motorcycle

Though, not ready for sale yet these two Big Dog motorcycle K9 models should be up for sale by mid December. the K-9 model was big dogs most popular, and I personally believe that the K-9 and the American Ironhorse Texas Chopper are the two best looking and riding, factory produced choppers ever made! Both these Big Dog K9 models are 2007 models with the S&S 117 engine, a massive 300 mm rear tire and upgraded top of the line custom exhausts!

The Big Dog K9 pictured above, just has approximately 5,406 miles, a breathtaking paint job and best of all, an adjustable air ride system for raising or lowering the rear end of the motorcycle. (more…)

Mulholland Highway in Los Angeles has been a mecca for motorcycles & fast cars for decades. Car and motorcycle clubs are regular visitors every weekend.

Jay Leno can often be found at the famous Rockstore and at a view point called Lookout talking with fellow motor enthusiasts.

Crashes are common as well as a heavy police presence on most weekends. (more…)

Lady Motorcycle Rider

 San Diego California Lady Motorcycle Rider

I’ve been into custom motorcycles for over 40 years and one of the main differences that I’ve noticed, is that of late, more and more ladies are moving up from the passenger seat to the driver seat.

For motorcycle riding out here in San Diego and Southern California, it seems to me, quite a few ladies have become exceptional big bike/chopper motorcycle riders. (more…)

Veterans Day Tribute 2014

 Veterans Day 2014

From Steve W.:

To any that speak against these true Veterans and Heroes that have fought the fight their Commanders sent them to fight, I can honestly say, I don’t deserve such attributes that so many give our Men and Women of the Armed Services deserve, for I have never fought in War, I have never dawned the uniform of such Brave Souls. But every time I see one of these young men and women, I do my best to tell them how much I appreciate them and what they have done for their Country for I am a Patriot and I know where my freedom and liberty comes from. I know in my heart that if there were to be a time in the days of Our Liberty and Freedom that if our leaders, ever, betrayed us and tried to turn the arms of Freedom upon us, those young Men and Women would defend you and I, would defend those that take their sacrifice for granted, they would defend ALL upon this land. Have some decency in appreciating those that pay the price for you to insult their actions. That’s freedom, that my friend is liberty!

From Julieanne F.:

Today, we live in a generation where the Great Wars are scarely touched upon in schools across the country. (more…)
