After a series of major shifts in our lives, Alexa and I decided to end the subscription format of our publication after this issue to focus on other projects and interests. It’s been a wonderful eight years meeting all the inspirational people and their motorcycles. Numerous personal factors were involved in the decision, along with rising costs in printing and maintaining a subscription system. Instead of changing to a cheaper, less impactful magazine, we’re going to put more effort into new products and events while continuing to feature local bikes and builders on our media outlets.

Issue Number 14 highlights a few different Sportster choppers — the menacing ironhead by TWO10, a blue bar hopper from Delmont, and a first-time build from a teenage gearhead. We covered two classy cafe racers, traveled to nearby West Virginia to shoot a sunburst orange shovelhead, visited Tyler Elliott's shop to talk paint, and learned about a family who lives and breathes vintage drag racing.
