In dieser Angelegenheit

Our cover bike is a beautiful and unusual Pan/Shovel bobber built by ex-Buckcherry drummer Xavier Muriel – it is bike building at its finest. As well, we feature a neat street bike based on the H-D Street 500 learner bike. Impressive, and very cool! We review a couple of the great events over Summer in Australia including the iconic Brighter Days, a charity fundraiser held each year in the Victorian alpine township of Bright. And what a great weekend it was. Over $450,000 raised for three charities and we were there to cover the whole event. We travel to Baja Mexico. And we have a tribute to Arlen Ness, the world famous custom king and great friend to this magazine who sadly passed recently. Plus we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Mad Max! All this and much more in the latest issue of HEAVY DUTY!

Sellicks Rocks The Beach

Beach racing on historic motorcycles is a magic carpet ride that transports you across space and time to a less technical and preelectronic era when men were men (it was a different era!) and motorcycles went fast and made lots of noise – glorious, ear-splitting noise untrammelled by silencing devices, noise that you didn’t just hear but that you felt pulsating through every fibre of your being, your heartbeat rising in unison and your adrenaline pumping through your body.
