Motorcycle Pinstriping artist:
Pinstriping is the application of a very thin line of paint or other material called a pin stripe, and is generally used for decoration. Freehand pin stripers use a specialty brush known as a pinstriping brush.

This was a celebration of San Diego woman motorcycle riders that occurred in an art gallery in the Logan Heights area of South San Diego.
Personally, over the last decade or so I think the number of women motorcycle riders has increased exponentially! San Diego California is the ideal setting for motorcycling. The scenery from the Pacific Ocean to the mountains and deserts all within an easy couple hour ride, make San Diego a motorcycle rider’s paradise!
It said now that women make up 12% of the US motorcycle owners. this figure is up approximately28% just in the last five years!
From a survey conducted by the Motorcycle Industry Council, they show that in 2012, about 27 million people in the US operated a motorcycle. approximately 6.7 million of these motorcycle riders were women!
So why are more women riding motorcycles now than ever before? Well, I personally believe it’s for the same factors that guys ride motorcycles: (more…)

This is the Official Concept Video of the iC-R (Intelligent Cranium) Motorcycle Helmet.
I understand that the manufacturer is now promising that this helmet will also have a built-in front mounted camera. The specifications of the camera were not released but I sure hope it’s at least 4K with some type of remote on all feature. I also read that they are going to be using Google maps for their built-in navigation. (more…)
Eric’s 2004 American Ironhorse Texas Chopper motorcycle. when it comes to factory manufactured chopper motorcycles, it’s my humble opinion that the American Ironhorse Texas Chopper and the Big Dog K-9 are two of the classic and best built chopper’s!
We did this video in front of San Diego Harley Davison on Marina Boulevard here in San Diego. many other motorcycle riders and most of the general public when looking at the Texas Chopper believe that it is a rigid frame model because of the low seat position and no visible rear shock absorbers.

Charger Steve ran the very popular Pacific beach hot Rod and motorcycle show for years. For 2016 I think this Autofest show is taking the place of that Pacific beach show.
What’s different about this show is that not only can you take in some great looking motorcycles and hot rods even off-road vehicles but Steve provides a lot of entertainment throughout the show. (more…)

Lady Harley rider lane splitting motorcycle accident on the 405 Freeway. Women Harley rider ended up with a hairline fracture in her elbow.
OUCH! As they say, any crash you can walk away from is a good crash. Glad only minor injury’s.
I will say Is the car driver clearly didn’t use her mirrors correctly or check over her shoulder before moving, the way I look at it you should plan for every eventually so perhaps the biker should have anticipated the cars actions, (maybe too fast, hard to tell from video) glad to know it wasn’t a more serious injury.
Looking at this video again, I just noticed that the car driver made an illegal move by crossing over a double solid line, trying to get into the car pool lane. (more…)
