There were plenty of killer bikes on hand at Las Vegas BikeFest—but I was blown away by the incredible detail on the chopper above. The number of hours in engraving alone must be bonkers. And how cool is the kick with the brass knuckles for a pedal? It’s far from the first time I’ve seen […]
This is probably a good opportunity to mention I’m no rocket scientist—but I’d rather be lucky than smart. Since I like my spinal cord and—aside from occasional the Monday—I’m quite happy to be above ground, I’m extremely careful on the road.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve got a thing for oddball stuff, and I love checking out the weird little stepchildren of the MoCo’s family tree. As far as oddball cache goes, this British military spec MT350 for sale over in jolly old England definitely fits the bill. Essentially, the bike is more of an […]
