Dave Iversen, of El Cajon California, spent the winter months of ‘08 putting together a 1938 Harley Davidson Knucklehead, purpose built for Landspeed racing. It’s powered by an engine built with stock 74” Harley Davidson flywheels and standard bore cylinders. The 1200cc Knucklehead competes in the 1350cc class. From the frame up, Iversen fabricated each element of the race bike with aerodynamics in mind in addition to staying true to a vintage look with a springer front end and suicide shift. No fairings or streamlining are allowed in the A-VG (vintage-gas) class; a naked Knucklehead.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania- moto-photographer Sara Liberte releases new images just in time to celebrate the Sturgis Rally and Races.

“Every August motorcyclists from all over the world travel to Sturgis to be submerged in a land where people once traveled across the prairie in covered wagons, and cowboys still ride their horses. Sturgis offers more than just a good time; it is a place where motorcyclists enjoy camaraderie with their friends and the freedom of the open road. As I watch my generation of motorcyclists enjoy this land I feel the connection they have with the environment, where the motorcycle, the soul and the landscape become one. These images attempt to capture that connection — where machine becomes part of the scenery in Sturgis.” ~ Sara Liberte
