Keith Ball

Networking is the buzz-word in every business article written in every magazine and newspaper of late. If you wanna sell more stuff, if you want success, if you don’t want to go out of business like so many companies have in the last few years, you need to network! That isn’t why we’ve forged a relationship with Keith Ball of Bikernet.com fame, but at the same time I think our little networking experiment will benefit both companies.

We’ve added our Wolfgang books to Keith’s “Shop,” located within the Bikernet website. And we’re working with Bikernet to promote both his books, and ours.

Bikernet and Wolfgang have decided to work together to bring bikers a wider range of motorcycle books.

At Wolfgang, we tend toward what might be called hard-core, nuts-and-bolts books. How-to Build a Choppper, V-Twin Maintenance, etc., etc. Keith, on the other hand, likes biker fiction. Harbor Town Seduction is his latest foray into this genre, and it promises to be as gritty as any classic western or detective book. According to a recent review: “The cover says it all, murder treachery and too many women at every turn! Chance is the name of the main character in the first of Bandit’s new series of Chance Hogan novels… this new novel is a wild ride from start to finish. There are more sex scenes than a six hour porno tape with some wild motorcycle rides and a couple of shootouts to boot. And the sex scenes are dirty, I mean really dirty…”

Though published a few years back, Wolfgang’s Cheap Chopper book still fills a need for anyone trying to build a bike that’s both unique and inexpensive.

So if you’re bored with nuts and bolts, with paint mixing ratios and torque specs, just click on over to Bikernet.com, and check out the huge selection of stuff, including some very entertaining biker fiction.

Think of the best detective novels, complete with the big city as a setting, and insert your favorite biker types. Fiction meant for high brow bikers like you and me. Special pricing starts this Thursday, 4/7/10.

Over the years we’ve become good friends with Keith Ball and the crew at Bikernet.com. Two years ago we published Keith's book: How to Build a Bonneville Salt Flats Motorcycle, and Keith often uses a new Wolfgang book as a giveaway promotion on his site. In fact, Keith is angling for another trip to Bonneville, so who knows, there may be another Bikernet goes to Bonneville book in our future.



Keith recently sent me a box of his 2010 calendars. They're a little late, apparently there was some kind of a glitch between the printer and the photographer, but what the hell, they turned out great. And we are giving these away FREE to the next 20 people who order a book from our web site. So don't hesitate, order that new Panhead Restoration, Chopper, or Airbrush book today.

Keith Ball from Bikernet.com sent us a box of his new 2010 calendars, which are free to the next 20 people who order a Wolfgang book from the website.

Speaking of Airbrush books (nice segue don't you think?) Jacki is getting our newest book, Airbrush Bible, ready to ship to the printer. This new 176 page book includes work from 10 artists already seen in various Wolfgang books. Everyone is here, Lenni the Pinstriper, Steve Chaszeyka, Susan Heidi, Leah Gall, Keith Hanson, Tom Nguyen, Steve Driscoll, Ken Simonson, Vince Goodeve and Luca Paganica. We will have early release copies of Airbrush Bible ready to ship by March 1, 2010.

Airbrush Bible is a compilation of airbrushing sequences that cover everything from Motorcycles to Pin-ups.

At the same time we are going to re-print the Composite Materials Fabrication Handbook #1, because with printing, it's always cheaper by the dozen.

The sequences seen in this new book, like this one by John Nicholas, are the best from Wolfgang's airbrushing books.
