Sidecars Part II

I have listed a few of the OEM Sidecar Manufacturers in North America, but again, there are sure to be more out there… Here is an attempt at a more complete list.  Please feel free to add companies and builders, as we would love to find them!

Mongols Update

As you have read earlier in the week, the Mongols Motorcycle Club was subject to a multi-agency investigation that ran three years. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, the LA County Sheriff’s Department, the Montebello Police Department, the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were all involved in “Operation Black Rain.” Apparently four ATF agents were able to infiltrate the club and become full patch members. They found enough evidence to serve 110 arrest warrants and 160 search warrants in Southern California, Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, and Ohio. Over 22 bikes were impounded in Los Angeles alone. Approximately 61 members of Southern California based motorcycle club were arrested under a racketeering indictment that included murder, attempted murder, assault, and gun and drug violations. In Reno, more than 6 pounds of methamphetamine and 75 weapons were seized. The findings of other contraband have not been reported.

Sidecars Part I

  Today we make the leap from trikes to sidecars.  Those unusual little bikes that bring to mind a lone stranger traveling across the states with his dog in the dead of winter, or the rig that is slowly putting down a country road with an elderly woman enjoying the scenery as her driver tries [...]

Ruben Cavazos Arrested

According to the Associated Press, 38 members of the Mongols Motorcycle Club, including former President Ruben Cavazos, were arrested on RICO charges today.  Cavazos is the author of the book “Honor Few, Fear None: the life and times of a Mongol” published by Harper Collins.  ArtBiker has included this book for upcoming review on this [...]

Welcome to Tattoo Tuesday (or Tattoosday)

Welcome to the first installment of Tattuesday! Yes friends, every Tuesday I will be posting something about the art of tattoos, tattoo care, tattoo artists, or other related tattoo subjects.

OCC Has Their Own Rollercoaster!

Well, just when you thought the boys from OCC couldn't get their fingers into any more projects or marketing schemes, they go from theme bikes to theme parks! It's true my friends, Orange County Choppers has their name on a new rollercoaster ride located at Darian Lake in Darien Center, NY.

House of Blues Opens in Houston

The weather in Houston was beautiful today, perfect for a spin on the sled. As luck would have it, it was also the day of the House of Blues Rock Ride put on by two of the local Harley dealerships. I had managed to score two of the tickets to participate and was looking forward to the day out with the Ol’ Lady. But, as is apt to happen when you are a parent of small children, the plan changed. The window of opportunity to potty train our oldest daughter threw itself wide open and Big Mamma jumped at the opportunity. She also told me to go ahead and enjoy the weekend while she took care of business at home… just one of the many reasons I married the woman.

Trikes… part III

I have spoken about a few bike companies that specialize in trikes, but I have not mentioned them all... Here is a more complete list of OEMs in North America... again, there may be more and there are, of course, a lot of custom builders out there as well. If you have someone to add, please do so, we would all love to know about them.

Dude,
Just put you on my friends list. I ride a 2005 XLC 883/1207 hotrod Sporty. To many mods to list, but God knows it runs. I love the Sporty. The original Harley Hotrod. Give me a shout sometime and we'll kick it around. I send some pics when I can get some done.
It's all about Jesus,
Guy

ArtBiker I dont know yet. I was really pissed off last year with the lay out the new spot sucks ass you cant buy beer there you have to bring your own. Its hard to bring cold beer if you dont have a truck and trailer like the rest of them.
At 2:09am on February 11, 2009, TrevorTrevor said…
I hate to say it but the long road is going to be trailer and bikes in the back of trucks. just like all the other smoke outs I have been riding there for the last 4 year from canada and it makes me sick. bikes on trailer or in a pick up is not what its all about so look out and ride safe.
