Guilty Customs Daytona Interview

Guilty Dude — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 04:10:12 +0000

We get stoked every time we hear or see news about the Limpnickie Lot. Just show’s we’re getting more and more into the fabric of this industry and with that giving the next generation of riders and builders something to consider when looking at this industry. Whether it’s on national tv shows like American Thunder, or on video’s from industry people, “any press” is always good press! Such is the case during the last Daytona Bike Week when the video crew came through the lot to shoot some footage on various builders and personalities. Thus they gave yours truly a chance to talk a bit about my passions, ideas, impressions on the movement. So here ya go. Just goes to show ya, some media people will put anyone in front of the camera!! See it HERE.

Free To Wander Release Party a Success

Guilty Dude — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:45:54 +0000

Rich Grabbe, producer of the DVD “Free to Wander” (you can preview HERE) held their release party Saturday February 21st, and from what we’re hearing the party was a huge success. It was definitely a bikers party….(aka buckets full of beer,mayhem, girls, moshing, and smashed beer bottles) along with the playing of the FTW film. With “The Trip Daddy’s” playing to a full house at Shady Jacks Saloon the place was pretty much “asses and elbows”. Many of the guys that appeered in the film were present, from Chicago, to Los Angeles To as far north as Canada. The Free To Wander release party was a continuation of the the films sentiment. Stay free, keep wandering, keep riding, and most of all have as much fun as possible in this carnival ride we call life! Congrats Rich! Looking forward to hearing more about the party and catching up with you during Bikeweek.

Painted Bodies

Guilty Dude — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:46:41 +0000

Everyone knows that the Guilty Truth Blog is more about bikes and the motorcycle lifestyle, but one trend we keep seeing pop up at a lot of events and in mag’s is Body Painting. That simple art of taking a woman’s body (curves and all) and putting paint on it to make them look like they have clothes on. The styles can range from as simple as a bathing suit to as elaborate as multiple layered suits. Again, all an illusion. Simple, unique and well, quite distracting. Initially made popular in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues, body painting combines the best of both worlds. Granted, you’re basically looking at naked women, but because they’re covered with a layer of paint, you don’t feel like a total pervert. “Hey honey, i’ve got three cans high gloss paint, can you help me for a minute on a project…..”

Helmets Helmets Continued

Guilty Dude — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:59:05 +0000

In an earlier post (see here), we’d started listing various cool helmets we see either in person or on various sites. Here are a few that definitely strike us as cool. It is interesting to see the various styles and transitions that helmets are going through whether you view them as more “functional” or as “mediums of artwork”. Either way, seeing such pieces makes you want to go and get a cool lid to ride around with or (if your really strange, sit in front of the TV and munch chips and drink a beer). We know, we know..TMI, TMI.

“Free To Wander” Documentary

Guilty Dude — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 13:43:56 +0000

There are people all over the place toting film cameras around shooting whatever comes across their lens. Their work, is like you’d expect, crap! Then there are others that make it an “Art Form”. Such is the case with Richard Grabbe. We met Richard while at Sturgis this past year (08′) at The Broken Spoke with the Limpnickie Lot. Not only does he make a cool bike, but he’s also an up an coming film maker with a very keen eye for detail and creativity. This is his documentary of the lives and times of the custom motorcycle world. A free form art picture dedicated to bringing you the nitty gritty of what the custom motorcycle lifestyle is all about. It documents time spent on the road by guys that have nothing but their bikes and tents and delves into exactly what it takes to build one of these custom one off motorcycles. You can pre-order this video at the Free To Wander website. Click HERE.

Guilty Dude — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 02:51:11 +0000

Here’s a great Christmas present. Get your bike featured in Easyrider Magazine! That’s what happened to the Guilty Customs Gang! The bike “Errant” is featured on the cover and centerfold of Easyrider’s Dec. 08 issue. If you can look past the beauty straddling the bike (named Sandy Beach) you’ll see one very rideable bike. So kudo’s to Mike Drum for his work as well as others on this build. The bike is currently up on eBay for auction as the guys need to make room in the garage for some more builds! Oh yeah, unfortunately Sandy doesn’t come with the bike.

Arm Drop Live!!

Guilty Dude — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:04:38 +0000

Our friend Mike Beland over at A-1 Cycles has a new project he’s involved with. It’s called ArmDrop Live!! and features Rick Christensen of Speed Channel “Pinks: All Out” fame. Seems he was wanting to have a more active show that wasn’t inhibited by cameras so Rick and his brother Kent teamed up with Brian Bossone to produce. The concept? Well in Mike’s words:

“people drag racing their bikes duking it out for a custom motorcycle. Negotiating the race and out driving your opponent. High energy and NO fluff. Hardcore racers with a 20k prize on the line .

Sounds pretty cool to us!!! But before they go any further, they need people to express interest in the concept. So watch this video, go to the site and then vote whether you’d like to see this become a TV show. You can go HERE for the website to vote. You can check out their schedule on the website also and see where they will be over the next few months too.

Pinstriping At It’s Best

Guilty Dude — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 00:38:45 +0000

For those of you that have cared to ask us about our background and hobbies, you’ve probably stood patiently around as we waxed memories about our days building custom hot-rods. Specifically our mid 50’s inspired trucks and cars. When we transitioned to motorcycles we brought that influence with us. There is one similarity though between the two markets and that is regardless of the engines/frames or wheels used, it’s the paint that always grabs the people. We hear it all the time. You can have one of the most demanding mechanical monsters around, but 9 out of 10 people will say…”Cool paint job dude..!”. Granted, we appreciate those few that notice that rare engine, front-end or custom made exhaust…..so thanks to those 1%ers! Anyway, over the years we’ve used a number of stripers….(the most dependable being Darren from “Darren-Did-It Pinstriping” here in Orlando) and the most notable being George Sedak (painter/pinstriper for Evel Knievel). Another guy we’ve run across is a west coast guys named Eric Foust from Mindless Pinstriping. You can check out his work at his MySpace. Enjoy.
