15 Years Of Hot Rod's Bike Works Magazine - Our Coolest $h!t Ever

Don't Try This At Home

Or do. Your choice. We did a lot of crazy things to get your attention over the years. Here are some highlights.

November '95 Hittin' the Road Feature Editor Howard Kelly soiled a Dyna Convertible by offroading it on a camping trip and wrote about the whole experience. He enjoyed it, but we're thinking Harley wasn't too happy when they found out. Still, if they didn't want it tested for real, why'd they leave it with us?

September '98 Super Hot! Frank "Super Dave" Kaisler rode Mule 1 through a burnin' ring of fire. Indoors. It probably wasn't good for his lungs, but it made for a great cover.

April '06 Ulysses Road Test It seems Harley didn't learn their lesson the first time. They gave us a new Buell Ulysses to spank for a few weeks, and we weren't shy about taking it to task in the dirt. Crash test dummy Alan Knowles showed it the ground.

Hot Rod Babes

Depending on who was in charge at the time, scantily clad hotties were either a blessing or a curse. Frank Kaisler knew sex sold, and whenever he had his druthers there was always a beauty with the beast. Some of our models even went on to fame...

November '96 Brooke Morales Brooke Morales, AKA Brooke Moore, posed for us twice; November '96 was the first. In the years that followed, she graduated to B-movies and has had a pretty successful modeling career.	January '98 Linda O'Neil Sadly, there were no cover models in the first half of '98. That didn't stop a certain subversive editor from using them in the studio, though. Linda O'Neil was one such beauty, and since then you've probably seen her all over the place, whether it's calendars, other mags, or running out to play with sharks in that Vonage commercial.	April '99 Lorissa McComas This young lady posed with Tom Foster's Landshark. She also made quite a name for herself in softcore flicks like The Bare Wench Project.
December '99 Shannon Malone Shannon went from the pages of HRB to multiple TV gigs like cheerleading on the Best Damn Sports Show Period.	May '00 Sandee Westgate Sandee stepped from our pages onto PLAYBOY's. Sometime after that she became "A Playmate Gone Bad" and started doing girlie videos on her website (you can also find video of her with Lorissa McComas, not that we spent twelve hours watching it or anything). Nowadays Sandee's one of the most popular women on the Internet.	September '01 Brandy Dahl Brandy Dahl had done some fitness modeling when we first met her. Shortly after that her popularity erupted and she became one of the most sought-after bikini models in the fitness world. We were just glad she was nice enough to pose with this LA Choppers scoot amidst the concrete jungle of downtown Los Angeles before all that.
