“A Baja surf trip.

Cruising down the

coast, camping

in the sand, tacos

at a cantina and

cervezas with

the boys.”

—Chris Siebenhaar



“I’d like to go from

Mexico to Canada,

off road the whole

time.”

—Erich Schlitz



“Truth be told, to

my garage, with

enough time to

build a bike. I want

to start with a bare

frame and make it

my own.”

—Brian Hatano



“The Causeway

Coastal Route in

Northern Ireland

on a Kawasaki

Versys 650 because

I imagine it’s the

perfect color for

avoiding speeding

tickets on the

Emerald Isle.”

—Spenser Robert



“An adventure

tour through

New Zealand.”

—Will Steenrod

Brian Hatano

Brian Hatano is our

resident web guy

and American V-twin

enthusiast. He’s been

around the industry

a long time as a

custom painter and

fabricator, building

cars and bikes for

Hollywood celebri-

ties and studios as

far back as 1979. His

garage includes a ’

Harley FXSTSB Bad

Boy Edition Springer,

a 1978 Yamaha

RD400, an FZ-07,

a turbocharged

Kawasaki ZX-10R, a

600-hp supercharged

Corvette, and enough

Snap-on tools and

knowhow to rebuild

any one of them.
