The Road South |
 The TR6 model started life as an off-road bike, this example from 1965 looks right at home sitting amongst the Oak leaves. |
The goal for the day: shoot two vintage Triumphs for the 2011 Classic Triumph Calendar. First we parked the ’65 TR6 on a bed of fallen Oak leaves, next we positioned the Rickman Matisse in the middle of the little band shell. |
 Not all the old Triumphs we shoot actually run. Luckily this one did, though Randy Baxter did a lot of kicking before the sound of a Triumph twin filled the otherwise quiet Iowa morning. |
Luckily the TR6 was in running condition, which means we didn’t have to push it uphill through the leaves. Though the morning started cold with fresh frost on the ground, the sun soon warmed things up enough that we could peel off at least one layer of clothes. With cows mooing softly in the background (I’m not making this up), and the sun shinning brightly through the trees, it turned into a beautiful morning to photograph a couple of nice old motorcycles. I have a great job. |
 Back in the day the Rickman brothers made some very trick race kits. This Matisse is certainly one of their most attractive conversions. |

As I’ve mentioned before, the Panhead book, written by Rick Schunk, walks the reader through all parts of a restoration, from the wiring to repair of the Pan-heads. How to Airbrush Pin-Ups, available from either Wolfgang or ArtKulture, provides seven start-to-finish pin-up painting sequences as a means or explaining exactly what it takes to create a beautiful, sexy pin-up. Each photo sequence is done with a professional airbrush artist, and each one has something unique to say about creating the image, mixing paint, and the best use of color. |
 Panheads might be more popular now than they were when new. Restore yours with help from our newest restoration book. With airbrushing sequences from people like Edward Reed, Steve Driscoll and Susan Heidi, the How To Airbrush Pin-Ups book brings a wealth of information and experience to each reader. |
Good Sales in a Poor Economy I recently took a look at book sales through August, and the results were somewhat surprising. Two of our best, most consistent sellers, are books that are anything but brand new. Advance Tattoo Art from 2006, a book that’s primarily tattooing sequences, continues to sell well and create good royalty payments for the author, Doug Mitchel. |
 Though published in 2006, Advance Tattoo Art is still selling very well through the big book chains. |
In a completely different category, How to Build a Cheap Chopper from 2004 just kind of plugs along like a good annuity. The income is great of course, but it’s equally great to know that people are still interested in building bikes at home – a trend that many of us thought died when the economy went in the tank. |
 It’s nice to know that people are still building Bobbers and Choppers at home with help from this early Wolfgang book. |
