In the next month or two, you'll see a whole new Biltwell website. As we've added to the product line this year it's been a struggle to keep the site up to date so we are going to implement a simpler set up that will make it easier for customers to navigate and easier for us to keep current. Probably the biggest change will be getting rid of the blog. I've been doing it since 2006 and frankly I'm just kinda sick of it. Been that way for a while but luckily I have some friends like Huber who graciously donate thier time to keeping it going.

There are two ways to make sure you stay in the loop on new products, news and events: The Newsletter Email and Facebook. Sign up for the newsletter and we'll email you about twice a month with updates and if you "like" us on Facebook you'll see our news in your feed.

You can sign up for our newsletter HERE and you can find us on Facebook HERE. Thanks to everyone who's been reading this blog, I hope you can make the jump as we move on to easier, more organized and more interactive communication.

Bikes come and go, but this one was a lot of fun. At least it's staying in the family and I kept the gas tank. Thanks Terry!

New Mule in the Stable: Acme Bonneville Chopper

McGoo here. I lost my sign-in info for the blog, so I'm pigging off Bill's feed this week. I probably beat this dead horse on Facebook and ChopCult enough already, but I'm sharing it here because this thing has me tickled pink. I'm talking about the Bonnevile chopper our friend Wayne at Acme Choppers sold me this fall.


This machine didn't require many tweaks (few Acme bikes ever do.) I swapped the seat for one of our tuck-and-roll Slimline solo units, turned down the billet alloy throttle grip on the lathe to make an alloy sleeve for a pair of Kung Fu grips, and shortened the exhaust can 6 inches. Throw on a pair of Sanderson pegs and BAM! instant modern Brit chopper.


This brings my personal stable of motorcycles to four, none of which I rode more than 3,000 combined miles in the last year. I'm determined to change that sad stat in 2012, and this bike will lead the charge until I can finish the SpartanKiller.


Thanks, Wayne at Acme for giving me such a sweet deal on this really fun machine.

Man Cave Stuff

Just what every man cave needs: a Biltwell tin sign. At approximately 2' wide x 20" tall, it's just the right size for the back of your man door, unless that's where your dart board is already hanging, in which case you can put it any damn place you please. Mike D. is adding these to the online store as I write this, and they cost less than the pocket change your old lady has stashed in the cookie jar.  Treat yourself to something cool this holiday season.

Redneck Ringtoss


I rode to my friend Caleb's place the other day. He and JD are always up to something interesting. Of particular note on this visit was the new addition of what Caleb calls Redneck Ringtoss. It's pretty basic - a 2" brass ring, tied to some thin line and a hook stuck in the wall. You stand back and let it fly with a gentle arc. It's a pisser until you get the hang of it, and I seem to need to relearn every day. You have to adjust the string just right when you first set it up, but it's really easy. The higher the ceiling, the longer the distance to the hook. Definitely not something that increases productivity around here. It's a fun drinking game, you can do it one-handed and unlike horseshoes or darts, you don't even have to walk over to the target, the ring just comes back when you miss. Thanks for the lessons dudes!
