As The Sponsor Of HOT ROD'S BIKE-WORKS Readers' Rides, Bassani motorcycle exhaust, available exclusively from North County Customs, wants to help you get the most out of your motorcycle. If we select your bike to run in the Readers' Rides section, the folks at North County Customs will give you a gift certificate good for $75 toward the purchase of a set of the shop's pipes. Now what could be better than that? Getting your bike displayed on these pages is as simple as sending a couple of good-looking photographs of your motorcycle shot against a clean background (no poles growing out of the seat, no cars or trash cans in the background). Please include some information telling us what you've done to make your bike cool.
If you think your bike has what it takes, then show it off for all to see. Mail your photos, a brief background of the bike, and your contact information to HOT ROD'S BIKE-WORKS, Attn: Readers' Rides, 2570 E. Cerritos Ave., Anaheim, CA 92806, or e-mail us at bikeworks@primedia.com.
Custom '06 Bobber
Hey, you! Stop drooling all over the page and wipe your mouth! The crew at HRBW had a similar reaction when we saw the pic of this custom '06 bobber, built by Matt Peters of Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania. We felt it was more than worthy enough for you to swoon over.
Matt built this classic-looking bobber for his son's 16th birthday (I got a watch for my 16th birthday, you lucky dog).
"Living in Pennsylvania, you have lots of downtime," Matt said. I guess downtime in Pennsylvania means building a kickass ride. Time well spent, Matt.
This baby was built with a plethora of great parts: Harley EVO 80ci motor and wheels, an S&S carb, a Revtech 4-speed tranny, and Paughco pipes. The olive/red paint job makes the bike stand out thanks to its contrasting color scheme. Keep up the good work, Matt; we look forward to seeing your next creation!
