- exile: Bargain Bar Hopper
"We have a brand new Special Construction Bar Hopper for sale. It features wrinkle black powder-coat frame and sheetmetal with brushed satin finish on all other surfaces. It boasts a 121" Total Performance motor and a JIMS 6-speed transmission. We originally intended the bike to be the personal ride for one of our guys, but when he left us we finished the project and toured it on our show trailer for the past few months. Well, we need that spot for our upcoming new 'Biker Build Off' bike so we are prepared to let it go significantly below the $50,000 price we would normally charge! For more information call Brad at 818 255 3330, ext 1."
- AskMen.com: 2006 Motorcycles: 6 Cruisers
"Daytona Bike Week is about to mark its 65th anniversary and we’re ready to ride. Okay, that’s just an excuse. Actually, we have a million excuses, each one more justifiable than the last. We can’t help it. We like bikes. We appreciate the ungodly speed of sport bikes and the long-distance comfort of the touring class, but for street cred and relaxing rides on the back roads, it’s tough to beat a cruiser and its La-Z-Boy riding position. We undertook this difficult task and narrowed the field to six cruisers for our 2006 feature. There are dozens of models that deserve mention and warrant a test ride. So consider this an opportunity to whet your appetite for the season."
- hotbikeweb: Strange Lucky Devil Triumph
"This one takes the cake. A couple of issues ago, a bizarre character in Texas road-tested the Victory Hammer. It seemed harmless, except we mentioned he built motorcycles and someone said, "The Devil does what?""

- SmartGuy: Rooke Slotard
"Jesse Rooke, one of the egomaniac stars of Discovery channel's "Biker Build Off" series is showing an interesting concept bike far removed from the normal trailer-queen clown chopper he usually designs. No real stats are being released, but it appears it might be running a Evo-style V-twin sans rear cylinder and a supercharger. Or is that just the gearbox moved vertically to compensate for the bizarre swingarm pivot placement? Cool bike!"
- Riding Sun: Harley-Davidson Beijing rolling along
"While I was in China, I checked out the new Beijing Harley-Davidson dealership ... It's H-D's first official location in the entire country. Inside, I was able to speak with the sales manager, Jack Luo"
