Berumen FLHX

Berumen FLHX

Story by Mark Barnett Photos by Frank Rangel

Hector Berumen, Jr. is a local El Paso building contractor. This is his fourth Harley-Davidson and the one he’s modified the most. The most outrageous modification on this FLHX is of course the frame cut. John Shope of Sinister Industries out of Phoenix, Arizona stretched the frame two inches and raked it out to 46 degrees. Hector then fitted a 23” front tire to give the bike its new look. Local El Paso custom painter Rick Munoz applied the dragon. Overall this project took seven months. The look of the bike while going down the street is very distinctive, a job well done by a man who builds buildings for a living but seems to be good at building bikes as well.

Comfort-Max Gel Pad: The Cure for Bike-Butt

Story by J. Joshua Placa

One of the most neglected parts on your bike can be one of the most important. Too often it feels like your saddle was an afterthought, something the manufacturer dropped down just as the bike was rolling off the line. But anyone who's ridden more than around the block knows if you're butt's not happy, you're not happy. Pain can become a dangerous distraction. read more...

Charlotte Easyriders Show

Charlotte Easyriders Show

Story and Photos by Jack Cofano

One of the things I like about the Easyrider shows is that you see a bunch of folks bringing their little rug rats along with them to enjoy the show. Amazingly the kids seem to love all the shiny bikes and in most cases behave better than their parents…not a surprise.

We need to get the younger generation involved with our passion for two wheel adventure. I just know that these kids will grow up and say “Yea, I used to go to the Easyrider shows with my parents when I was a little nose picker and I’ll always remember it cause they got all snockered up and started dancing like spastics, pumping their fists in the air and basically acting like complete morons.” read more...

Like everything else in this troubled economy you have to adapt to the current times. That’s what the Easyrider Centerford Shows have been doing the last few years. A couple of years ago they introduced hot rods and custom cars to the show and this year floor space was split up pretty evenly between bikes and cars.

I personally have no problem with hot rods at a bike show since I absolutely love Rat Rods especially pickups. It seems to me that it’s a plus to get another group of enthusiasts involved in the show since it increases the crowds. read more...

Castillo FXR

Story by Mark Barnett, Photos by Frank Rangel

This is one of the best looking FXR models I've ever seen. It was taken in at Barnett Harley-Davidson in trade thirteen years ago and sold to Rick Castillo, one of our motorcycle sales representatives. The day it rolled into the showroom, Rick saw a crowd around it. He worked his way to the front and his jaw dropped. He ran to the parts counter with his credit card and left a deposit on it right away. He then went back through the crowd and put a sold tag on it. "Hey, it just got here. Who bought it?" the other salesmen asked. "You're looking at him," Rick replied. Rick commuted 36 miles a day round trip off and on for many years on this trusty FXR. He doesn't know how many miles are on it, but he's rebuilt the engine once and he wore out the rear pulley two weeks ago. Overall, he's had very little trouble. And after all these years, it still draws a crowd.
