Tattoo Calendars

At Wolfgang, we've expanded our book offerings over the years. What was a little company publishing two or three books a year about either V-Twin (and Chopper) motorcycle assembly, or custom painting, is now a slightly larger company publishing 10 to 12 books per year on topics that run the gamut from airbrushing, to pin-up painting, to tattoos.

Among our newest products is this very cool Tattoo Girls calendar.

Our forth tattoo book, Tattoo Bible, is a great collection of flash art collected by Superior Tattoo in Phoenix, AZ. One of the world's largest supplier of tattoo tools and equipment, Superior has added a very nice Tattoo Girls calendar to their long list of products. Produced entirely in-house in a vertical format, this is new calendar measures a full 34 inches tall when opened up. The pictures, and the girls, are just sexy and naughty enough to make this a very interesting collection of images.

So if you like tattoos, and you like girls, this just might be the perfect calendar.

A finished Yamaha

We recently presented some construction and paint photos of a Yamaha Road Star under construction at Donnie Smith's shop. This is the V-Twin magazine give-away bike built by Donnie and crew with parts from Dennis Kirk.

Well, the bike is finally finished. Deb Shade visited Donnie's shop recently to witness the final assembly, and to take a few finished pictures. Donnie and Rob set out to build a "High-bar FL bike" and the customized Yamaha does indeed look a lot like a short, stubby FL, complete with Rob's fabricated tail-dragger rear fender. Other goodies include the PM wheels, H of K paint and a host of chrome candy from the Dennis Kirk catalog.

The new profile owes a lot to the high bars, and the tail-dragger rear fender. To create the fender, fabricator Rob used part of a RWD fender blank grafted onto the stock fender.

As I've said many times before, it's amazing what you can accomplish with a bit of creativity, and some careful planning. All without cutting the frame or doing anything really wild. Take a close look at this stubby chopper, it sure doesn't look like any Yamaha you've ever seen.

Another big part of the look is the RC Components wheels wrapped in Avon rubber. The front tire measures 120X21, while the rear is an 180X18.
