Quick Throttle EXPO 2006 [part 2]
As we continue with our post of the Quick Throttle Expo, we head inside to see what’s happening under the big tops…
Celebrity, actor, musician & now creator of the ultra-cool American Motorcycles line of choppers, Branscombe Richmond was on hand showing his stuff. Kathy and I got a chance to catch up with Branscombe and see his new line of bikes. As a side note, he’s involved with several projects revolving around the biker lifestyle; including movies, music and motorcycles. For more details, check out his site at BranscombeRichmond.com.
American Motorcycles, aka AMC1902, proudly displayed several of their new models. They are building some great stuff with a new fresh look. You can see them in detail at their site. Click here to visit American Motorcycles online.
One of my personal favorites from the sick minds at American Motorcycles. This beast boasts huge rubber up front and back. Squirrels beware!
Speaking of sick… check out the Hayabusa-Powered Trike aka the Martino Kamikaze Integrated Performance Vehicle. This three wheel monster is waaaaay over the top! Where do you even begin with this thing? Hayabusa-powered - well, that’s just crazy - but in good way. But still, 400 horsepower In a vehicle that weighs a thousand pounds? That’s power-to-weight ratio that’ll give you braggin’ rights most anywhere. Mostly though, this thing looks like a blast to drive. The paint is wild too. Craig Fraser can take the credit for spraying fire on this one. What a small world, eh? Anyway, this thing rocks, and it’s inventor and creator, Marc Martino, says they plan to go street legal and take this asphalt pounder to market. Hey, Christmas is coming, and this thing is high on my list.

Well, I digress, so back to the show… Tom from Southern California Motorcycles displayed Victory, Ducati and Triumph motorcycles adorned with a beautiful model. Ironically, when our model appeared, so did the cameras! Flashes popped everywhere, but our model was a great sport and kept on smiling. Perhaps, she, like us, just has a ‘thing’ for motorcycles

Speaking of beautiful ladies and motorcycles, we ran into our friend Larry from Temecula Valley Choppers working hard at convincing the Hooters girls that he needed more wings. He had a great collection of Von Dutch Kustom Cycles and Big Bear Choppers with him, making an impressive display. I did a post a while back featuring TVC and their bikes. (click here to view our previous post)
Anyway, I’m a big fan of their bikes, and as kewl as they are, we still felt a need to accessorize. Here, we feature a Big Bear chopper with four beautiful ladies. When we accessorize, we do it right. I’ll take that order of wings to go.
And go we must. I have to tell you, while this post is large, we’ve just really started. I have a lot more pics from the Quick Throttle Expo to share with you, although not many more of the beautiful ladies - this go around anyway. But, if you’re into airbrush, we have more… tons more. I’ll be sharing a trick truck with you that has hundreds - maybe even thousands - of beautifully frightening airbrushed skulls - and each one is different. That’s insane! I’ll try to get that and more live in the next couple days.
Until then…
Kudos to Quick Throttle for letting us share their show with you. Want more? Click here visit Quick Throttle Magazine online.

[…] And once again, we run into the infamous Street Vibrations model and official smile of bike rallies everywhere. Cassie always the bikers reason to pause and reflect on the finer things in life. You may remember her from our shot of multiple beautiful ladies on the Big Bear Chopper in our “Quick Throttle EXPO 2006″ post a couple weeks back. Remember the one with the cool hat and feathers sandwiched in with the Hooters girls? […]

[…] Remember the Kamikaze? We first introduced this 400 horsepower 3-wheeled monster in our post last year at the Quick Throttle Expo. Well now we’ve accessorized her for your viewing pleasure, thanks to a couple of beautiful ladies at the LA Calendar Show last summer. This beast was custom painted by Craig Fraser - like this thing isn’t hot enough already.
