Lotus is launching 200 BHP C-01 Super Bike!

The designer responsible for creating the Tron Legacy bike (Daniel Simon), Kodewa German Auto Racing Team and the Holzer Group is the team responsible for the new design. As I understand it, Lotus states this bike will be the best looker on the road and engineers will focus on design, ergonomics and high-end technologies. With the current market, I am sure Lotus could use the boost from another side of the auto industry.

Although I am sure this motorcycle is going to be well out of my price range, I am looking forward to seeing if this team of engineers and designers create a bike worthy of the cycle porn collection! Hopefully the name C-01 is just a working title!

3 names...Monster Craftsman, Jillian Rossi, and the Smoke Out 14!

As if setting up a booth to display their already well know product line, installation guides and how to seminars at this years Smoke Out in Rockingham were not enough, Monster Craftsman took it up a notch! They have just recently added pin striping seminars to the line up with Jillian Rossi.

"I have a natural ability to communicate and educate," said Jillian. "I'll be sharing my tips and techniques that will keep people riveted whether they are interested in pinstriping for themselves or not."

I myself will probably spending quite a bit of time at the Monster Craftsman booth, spending money and hounding the talent for their trade secrets. Perhaps I can offer up the bike for a class piece!!!! If you were still unsure about attending the event this year, perhaps your mind has been changed! Its not all about entertainment anymore! The seminars Monster Craftsman are putting on is what the Smoke Out is all about!

This buell has really grabbed my attention!

Cause I want to do this......

With This.......

Nicely Done Quad Cam!

Iron Head at Britts Hot Rodz for repair!

They get alot of cool bikes in the shop for sale and repair. This is the coolest Sporty in there thus far. The rocker boxes are engraved, kick start only, simple and clean!

The details in Special #6

Special #6

I can't get enough of this quad cam. Chris Fletcher @ Speed Shop Design . If you get a chance find some more pictures of this bike. It was an LA Calendar winner in 2009. A beautiful bike. The details from custom parts, to the welds and the overall design set it aside from anything else.

European Championship.

So the winners are in.....I can't be the only one excited to see these bikes!

Custom BMW

I found these picture hiding deep within my hard drive. I think they are shots from the Smoke Out East. I liked the details in the truss type leaf forks, shaft to chain conversion and the fabricated tail light. But I think the tires set it off!!Would love to see more pics of this bike. I don't know who owns it. If you do, please thank that person for me!!

I found these on an old computer harddrive. They were photos of a bike show at a smokeout east event. I think it is a BMW based engine. I loved the details put into this chop. The fender strut, the shaft to chain conversion, truss style leaf forks and tag mount tail light!

If any one has more pics, or knows who owns this ride....

A new Chop Cult Sporty

A new sporty popped up on Chop Cult Today from a Fuckn' New Guy!

There are some nice details.

OH the sweet sweet Quad Cams

Daytona Sportster!!

Hard Times! Love the look!

Spartan Frame Works

Well, I made it back from Tucson in one piece. 16 days out of town and work will stretch a man pretty thin. Fortunately Tucson AZ provided plenty of beautiful weather, great landscapes and one the best bike builders/fabricators I know.

George Counes (Spartan Frame Works) had me over for a visit, while my better half was nearby visiting some friends. It gave me a chance to check out what he is working on and just swap fabrication ideas (I am going to ditch the the front brake). He had a nice shop layout with a bike in just about every stage of completion. He has also batted around a few ideas for quad cam (sportster) frames....they'll go fast I gaurantee it!

Because of some top secret stuff he has going on, I could only capture pictures of the ever changing Knucklehead. Its nice to know we have the "tear down/rebuild" in common.

Thanks for the t-shirts and stickers George, see ya in the spring!!!

I couldn't resist one last post!

I can dig this quad cam monster!

Dub Performance

Check out some other Sporty/Buell based bikes!

Oh the Quad Cams....

My kind of Simplicity!

Over look the giant rear tire and mismatched colored bear trap foot pedals.
A nice BMX inspired front end from Satya at Kraus Engineering.
Crime Scene Choppers headlight, taillight and Rapide Air cleaner.
