“We had built a bike for Kenny a few years ago, Kenny, unfortunately, had gotten into a motorcycle accident with somebody who wrecked his other bike. So he came in and asked if there was any way we could build him something else, more of a show bike instead of a street bike. So we came up with some ideas.  He likes dragons and stuff like that, so I sketched some stuff up and threw some ideas at him, and from there we designed the bike you see here.  Medieval feel is the best way I could describe it. It’s got a lot of sharp angles and a very medieval feel to the whole thing.” John Wargo, Owner, The Custom Shop

Attention to detail has not been overlooked as you can see by looking at the Dragon Low theme. From concept through fabrication to body work through custom paint to the Performance Machine billet wheels running Avon tires, every detail of the Dragon Low has been taken into consideration…the only aspect of building this custom motorcycle that John Wargo did not do himself is the real alligator skin seat which accentuates dragon look.  For more photos of the Dragon Low and to check out some of John Wargo’s other works and custom paint, visit The Custom Shop or give then a call at 815-796-2772.

I’ll keep his short and sweet.  After you watch these ladies do their respective motorcycle stunt riding, please leave me a comment or 2 telling us what you really think about these motorcycle babes and how they really ride their custom motorcycles.  Doesn’t get much better than this all with no crashing, wipe-outs or anything else to hurt themselves.  Simply put, just some good ole motorcycle stunts by Jessica Maine, Tena Colbert and Brandy Valdez along with other hot motorcycle babes performing professional motorcycle stunts on their sport bikes.  I find this motorcycle stunt video appropriately titled  Motorcycle Stunt Girls – Graceful Perfection and they are not only smoking hot, but smoking off their motorcycle tires, too..

French designer Bako claims the futuristic sports bike design of the E-TX Urban will have a maximum top speed of 240 km or 149.14 mph produced through the Roadson Etronic 16 generator.  My thoughts are that the E-TX Urban Electric Concept Sportbike design seems to be inspired by BMW bikes in part.  The length of the bike is 2040 mm or 80.3 inches with a designed seat height 760 mm or 29.9 which is about the same as a Harley Davidson Ultra Classic touring motorcycle.  This will become very interesting when KTM develops a sports motorcycle to the next level since they debuted the KTM Freeride zero emissions at the Tokyo International Motorcycle Show March 26.

“My 2008 HD Crossbones is my baby. I have put PM Factor Contrast Cut Stealth wheels, rotors and pulley on it. Also sporting XO Prodox Shooter grips, highway pegs and shifter pegs. One off custom made front axle nut covers. Love the sound of it from the Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes, the Kuryakyn Hyper-charger and the power commander. Changed the sprung seat to a more lean, lower chopper style seat. There is custom pin-stripping on the horn cover. This bike is definitely not your typical chick bike. Gotta love it. Ride safe and ride often.”
