New old headlight!

Sorry for the lack of posting lately.Life's just been getting in the way of living over the last few months.I promise to put up more cool stuff on a regular basis in the future!In the meantime I finally mounted the Unity Ford spotlight that I've had sitting on my bench forever.

You asked for it...

Well here she is..my beautiful 1946 E Knucklehead..original 41 large port heads(BIG THANK YOU to Matt McManus and Bacon) original 61" cylinders resleeved as well as original cases,cam cover,oil pump and lifter blocks courtesy of my Dad, Shelton Davis who I can't thank enough for all that he has EVER done for me!! Hope you guys dig it, I will be posting more as soon as I get back from the Long Road..Roadside Marty

Purple Haze!!!

Well here it is..my rebuilt 65 Pan that has been with me for almost 18 years!!!!! Man time flies when your having fun..she's been redid 5 times since I've had her on the road and this time I spared no expense in treating the ol girl to a little bit of jewelry..hope you dig it and more pics to come..i.e. French Kiss paintjob, pipes from BKC as well as other shit..Roadside Marty

It's Guzzi Doug Wothke!!!!

While I was at Thunder Beach a few weeks ago I had the "privilege" of running into my good buddy Doug Wothke, for those of you who don't know who Doug is I'm just gonna say this brother has more miles backing up to the curb at the bar than most of these new yahoo's will ever have going forward!!! This Shovel is his mount for the next adventure,hey Doug watch out for those raghead terrorist's while your over there and get your ass back safe and sound!!!!

Motorcycle Safety???

I guess nobody ever told this guy that your supposed to keep BOTH hands on the bars at all times!!! Well at least he's got something in them that's worth holding!!!!

Bob Montagna

I miss this guy more every day. I had the pleasure of tattooing several Sturgis rallies with him and he always made things brighter.In case you don't know, Bob was one of the first National Tattoo members,was a key figure in the original Tattoo magazine(when it was the only one),was a founder of the A.P.T. who helped legalize tattooing in NYC and Massachussets.(that's right kiddies tattooing used to be a crime in some places!) That's Bob and Sonny at the Knuckle, Bob with his freak out,fork glasses and Bob and myself.I think these were all from 2003. Hard to be sure , Sturgis always got a little fuzzy after day 9 or so!

January 1990. I was 14 years old and already stick poking my first tattoos on myself and a few unfortunate friends. I was stuck out in bumfuck Georgia when this issue came out without a whole lot else to do but pore over the pages again and again. This pretty much cemented in my mind what I wanted to do with my life! ....Alvarez

Man, I love Shovelheads!!!

Who the fuck am I kidding??? I love them all..Pan, Shovel, Knuckle, Flattie, Evo, Twinkie and even Sportsters..what can I say? Roadside

Main Street, Sturgis 1986

At least this part of Sturgis will hopefully never change!!

Politically incorrect!!!!

HOLY SHIT!!! I guarantee you will NEVER see a shirt like this at any bike event like you used to see back in the eighties..gotta say the brotha on the left seems to be able to take a joke or he just doesn't give a fuck what "whitey" wears LOL!!!

Tom Waits

The king of cool for sure.I'm not sure whether his older stuff makes me want to drink or if my drinking makes me want to listen to his older stuff.Currently listening to Tom Waits streaming radio..........Alvarez

One Badass Shovelhead!!

Dug this gem out of the Feb 93 issue of Biker..one of the coolest Shovels I have ever seen..lots of handmade parts tastefully done in aluminum and black, built with a purpose in mind..you just have to dig it and if you don't fuck it..I DO!!! Roadside

Whatever happened to....??

Prison Bike shows..I know they were pretty popular in the 70's and early 80's but by the mid 90's they were pretty much gone, if anybody knows of a current one, drop me a line..I'll do whatever I can to get it some exposure..Roadside

Two of the best..

Take a good look at these BIKERS on the left is Smitty from SPIRAT Enterprises and the other is none other than Rogue, a true Freedom Fighter if there ever was one, this shot was taken in Daytona in 1986, just goes to show you who really lives the life and who doesn't because I see these guys STILL at every Daytona or Sturgis or even on the road somewhere in between..I just hope that I can live up to the standards they don't even know they set for the rest of us!!! Roadside

Hey Clay...

Hey Clay just let me know when you get tired of tripping over that rigid Pan frame in your Florida room at your house and I will come take it off your hands..it's the least I could do for you, I mean what are friends for?? Roadside

My idol!!

My Dad in his shop behind our house, this pic was taken sometime in the mid 70's not really sure when and neither is he but this shows how happy my Dad was back then and now..he truly is the kind of man I can only hope to follow and learn from..Roadside

A true American legend..

Here's a shot of me with Pete Hill at the Gulfport, Mississippi drag strip Memorial Day 1991..if you've never seen his blown Knuckle in person or ever saw him put it down the strip you owe it to yourself to at least try to make that happen..for everything you have done for drag racing, THANK YOU!!! Roadside

My Pan..22!!!! years ago....

Packin up shit so I can hopefully sell my house and look what I found, this shot was taken 22 years ago by my first wife while we were out partying with friends..man that brings back some good memories..anyway this Pan is still with me thru it all..everybody needs a good love story now and then...Roadside

A true American landmark..

I'm pretty sure the "hip" people out there will have a problem with me calling this a landmark so let me put it out there..FUCK YOU!!! I sure wish I could've have seen a few shows there but as usual I missed out..Roadside
