- Kneeslider: BMW V8 Powered Motorcycle
"Harald Geiling runs the Roadrunner Bikeshop over in Mainz, Germany, selling motorcycles and also doing a lot of frame repair. Somehow or another, the idea of building a V8 motorcycle entered Harald’s mind and being more of a doer than a dreamer, that’s what he did."
- BNO: Suzuki Diesel Motorcycle
"A guy who goes by the name "Crazy Jerry" converted a 1980 Suzuki GS550L into a diesel thumpin' mosheen. He sells a CD-ROM called "Changzuki Conversion CD" containing diagrams and instructions on how to create your own two-wheeled diesel-powered menace. Crazy Jerry claims his diesel bike averages 115 miles per gallon, and has a top speed between 50mph and 60mph."
- Bikernet: Sucker Punch Sally Boss Bike
"Jeff knew he wanted a satin finish on the bike, so he called up the guys at Black Bike and ordered a 21-inch spoker for up front and a 17x7 for the back, both satin polished aluminum. He was sure there was a frame lying around the shop, and there was. A classic, rare, straight-leg frame from ’56 or ’57, but it was just too damn narrow in the back to fit the wide 7-inch rim, so he hacked it apart and spread those shapely legs. He wanted to use a Sucker Punch, H-Bomb oil-bag but had never done one in gloss black. This bike was going to be different."
