Well I am away from the computer for three days, thankfully. Going to be shooting a Harley Rally for a bike magazine.then a complete change of subject as I go and cover an extreme Offroad 4X4 event for a car magazine. The weather forecast is perfect.
So I am uploading a bunch of pics for the weekend and will be back on Monday if I don’t get run over by a Land Rover.

Blues musician Big Mike Griffin played a regular slot at Daytona Bike Week for more than 10 years. His gigs at the Full Moon Saloon were by far the best in town. He must have been seen by a million bikers by now as he regularly plays at other bike rallies too.
Check out his Harley oriented music online. His Chopper in the picture was built by the Martin brothers. I shot this portrait of him for my book ‘Harley People’ Haynes Publishing.

Arlin’s Knuck. Arlin Fatland of Two Wheeler’s Denver built this tasty Knucklehead. We went to his house which overlooks the Rocky Mountain range and he opened up his garage and pulled out bikes for us to photograph some of which he hadn’t seen in years.

‘Dark Star’ & Son. Of all the thousands of Harley action photos that I have taken this is my favourite. Father and Son Chopper riders, two different generations same love of riding.
Robert’Dark Star’Smith was a custom bike painter around Dallas Fort Worth and I knew him through my friend Lawayne of Xzotic Cycle Products. Dark Star as everyone called him was one of the originals like he stepped right out of a David Mann painting. Sadly he passed away 2 years ago but I will reblog this photograph on a regular basis. His son Harley Smith still rides around Dallas and has a business called Bloodline Choppers.
