Ultimate V-Twin Motorcycle

The weather here in the great white north remains very winter-like. Though the ice houses are all off the river, the ice-road between Minnesota and Wisconsin in still in use. Personally, I like to wait and watch some much bigger (and heavier) pickup truck cross without incident before venturing out. What all of this really means of course is that it’s waaaaaay to cold to ride motorcycles, which is too bad as I’m really Jonesing for a motorcycle ride. I do get to go to Daytona Beach in a week, but without my motorcycle I’m afraid.

The cold weather keeps us inside, and makes it harder to find an excuse for not working. The fact that we are a little behind on some pending projects is just one more reason to take advantage of the weather and spend a few extra hours in front of the Sony monitor attached by umbilical chord to my laptop.

At the top of the list is How To Build the Ultimate V-Twin Motorcycle. This re-print of an earlier book goes to the printer today, and we should have books early in March.

Ultimate V-Twin Motorcycles was one of our first books, and we’re bringing it back. Finished copies should be here in 2 weeks.

Next up are two, tattoo books: American Tattoos, a series of start-to-finish tattoo sequences; and Tattoo Sketch book, a collection of sketches from Jim Watson of Superior Tattoo fame.

Filled with tattoo sequences shot in a variety of shops, American Tattoos is one of 2 new tattoo books due out late in April.

We will likely print two additional books at the same time we print the tattoo books: one is the re-print of How to Build a Cheap Chopper. Cheap Choppers, and bobbers, never go out of style. Which means that demand for our Cheap Chopper book is pretty consistent from year to year. The last of the books to be included in this batch is Kevin Baas’ revised Old Skool Bobber book, which includes a new wiring chapter and two new assembly sequences.

Cheap is cool and so are choppers and bobbers – thus the demand for out Cheap Chopper book remains steady. Which is a good thing
