Biker Radio Magazine isn't about one specific group... it is about motorcycles and the people that ride them, build them, race them, show them and spend a great deal of time on them.
These weekly shows run about an hour each, with new ones available on Fridays and cover any and all topics that have a relation to bikes and Biker Radio Magazine has guests that are pros and non-pros. Each guest has something to bring to the party and that is what we hope to share each week in each topic specific show. The shows do not start to download automatically so you have to do a little work yourself and save them to your hard drive to burn them. We also have versions of each show that can be loaded on an mp3 player.
We will post you bike pictures on the front page if you send them to us and you are welcome to send them.
Send your picture to me, Ken... at the ' Contact ' page.
Biker Radio Magazine doesn't care what you ride... just ride.

Biker Radio Magazine is a great supporter of The Chopper Handbook and this forum is the place to go if you are a home builder looking for tips or just to bounce around build ideas. The forum was originally from The Chopper Handbook site but is now being hosted on the Biker Radio Magazine server. This is still a continuation of The Chopper Handbook and is still the best resource for the home builder. It is free to use and most plans are also free.
Recently I was talking with Rich Christensen of " Pinks " and he had asked me about the B.R.P. Spyder. A division of Bombardier, they built machines for snow, water to name a few. It was 1958 when the first Ski-Doo was introduced and there has been no looking back for this company. I contacted B.R.P. and asked if it would be cool to use a portion for the dealer video so you could get an idea of what this vehicle is like. I am not selling these or endorsing them. I am not being paid to present this. B.R.P. has been generous in allowing me to show a portion of the video and my only regret about my test ride is that it wasn't long enough to truly get a better feel for this vehicle. Best viewed with high speed and my thanks to Martin Ethier, M.Sc., Marketing Coordinator - Can-Am Spyder Roadster.
Bill "Weeze" sends in some pics of his great stable of Harleys past and present. We are very jealous! Check out his comments on the "comments" page too.

Oh, here's the 66 rat shovel I call "Die Hard"
Had a "Die Hard" battery with no cover and friends nicknamed it "Die Hard." I called it a rat bike 'cause it got pretty ratty after 12 yrs of just riding it and laying it down a few bikes and getting hit in parking lots etc...

Problem: Harley Davidson is recalling 47,579 model year 2008 FLHP, FLHPE, FLHR, FLHRC, FLHRSE4, FLHT, FLHTC, FLHTCU, FLHTCUSE3, FLHTP, FLHX and FLTR motorcycles. These motorcycles may experience a cracking of the fuel filter shell leading to loss of fuel pressure. This loss of fuel pressure can cause diminished performance and, in some cases, may cause an engine stall or a no-start condition. This condition could lead to a crash which could cause injury or death to the rider.
Corrective Action: Dealers will replace the fuel filter shell free of charge. The recall was to begin on or before August 4, 2008. Owners may contact Harley Davidson at 1-414-343-4056.
Check out these pics of a Wes's 51 Triumph! And just because he's a cool guy, he even uploaded some video to YouTube for us. You can see it here:

Colin from Time Cycles is headed to Utah and he has joined Biker Radio Magazine to talk about going to ' The Salt ' on an old classic. Colin has been working on classic bikes for a long time and he made the decision to go to The BUB. He has sent us pictures of what he will be riding as the salt has bitten him on the ass and yet another bank account has become prisoner of the gods of speed. All kidding aside... thanks for the pictures, Colin and we look forward to hearing the stories when you get back.
09.12 Here is a very short video of Colin at Bonneville during a start of a run at The Bub. Also... there is video of a bike Mike from Kiwi was working on so it's a cool link. Check it out!

Ride Thailand 2008 is coming! If you can make it, this is a must do!
Thanks to ATAN at www.locklaq.com for the cool info and for thinking of us here in North America. We will be posting video from him soon!
Dan Wert, of Penn Iron Works, Inc. sends in these shots of his current rides. With the exception of the dresser, they are all hand built - and may we add...beautiful.
Charles Libby also sent us some shots of one sweet ride. Of this bike, Charles says, "this is the second complete bike i have built. All done in my shop at home, it includes .090 alum. tank and rear fender, .060 bellypan and sides, a 1975 ironhead, and home built front girder and frame.

Thom Beers, recent guest on B.R.M. was at a show called Comic-Con to unveil a ' Graphic Novel ' and subsequent bike to go along with it. The concept for the novel came as a result of conversations with his son, Max and friend, Noah Segal. The novel is the pre-cursor to a feature film that Thom will be directing next year. A motorcycle was build for the Comic-Con release by Russel Mitchell of Exile Cycles and dressed out by " Almost Human, Inc ". The result is something completely out of left field and certainly on the fringes. We here at Biker Radio Magazine are cool with that. Not like it matters what we think but this whole project needs to be talked about. Here's the bike...
Our friends at the Ace Cafe in London have completed a project with S&S. This bike uses an S&S 100c/i mill and is based on the cafe racers of years ago but this is certainly not the bike of years ago... it's the meaner grand child. Well... meaner and way faster grand child. We at Biker Radio Magazine are very excited to see the Ace Cafe Racer become a reality and more than that we are very pleased to welcome Mark and Linda Wilsmore of ' The Ace ' to Sturgis this summer to see the rally first hand. Mark and Linda have been most generous and sent these pictures for your approval. Don't wait... click now!
Scott from Iowa bought this bike CHEAP and has gotten it back on the road. It is a '56 Pan and while we are jealous as hell, we thank Scott for the pictures and hope he washes the bike soon. Even showing its age, it is beautiful.

Other Cool Stuff
Our webmaster Dan attended a swap meet/show last Sunday in Yamanashi Japan, and aside from some great deals on parts, he came back with some pics of some really cool rides. Even better is the fact that most of the pics were taken in the parking lot!
check out the photo gallery of A-Day 2008 here!
This is one shit hot bike! The award was given by Knuckle Buster Inc. on behalf of Biker Radio Magazine for no other reason than it was a cool bike. Biker Radio Magazine totally digs the fact that he is running a mag and the aluminum looks amazing! B.R.M. is very happy to have been a part of this year's Greasebag Jamboree.
