This drawing was done by Norweigan artist, Eivind Josefsen. His website hosts many of his pencil drawings, videos and if you think you have the chops to become an artist, there are also some tips & tutorials.
This video was done in February 2008 and took 15 hours to complete. But you get to watch it all happen in just two minutes!
I’ve been a casual “wrestling entertainment” watcher since I was a kid back in the 80’s. Hulk Hogan, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Macho Man Randy Savage and Andre the Giant were some of my favorites back then. I had a resurgence of interest earlier in this decade which eventually died out when Steve Austin and The Rock moved on. Even today I occasionally flip over to WWE’s Raw or Smackdown if there’s nothing else on.
I know a ton of wrestlers ride motorcycles, in fact Mr. Jesse James built custom choppers for Shane McMahon (son of evil genius, Vince), the Undertaker and Goldberg (you can check those bikes out at West Coast Choppers website if you want to check them out).
I remember when the Undertaker dropped the “Deadman” schtick for a little while and went into full on Amercian-Badass-biker-dude persona. I liked that Undertaker, sans dyed black hair, so I went looking for some videos of that era. Well, I found 2 great tastes that taste great together: “Hollywood” Hogan (the evil version of Hulk Hogan) destroying the Undertaker’s motorcycle during one of the shows. It’s painful to watch this gorgeous bike get destroyed, but wrestling is ultra-sensationalism at it’s best (or worst, however you see fit to view it).
The initial destruction by Hulk Hogan.
And of course, the reaction from the Undertaker. Don’t you love how he gets so mad that he starts kicking the bike? Like it’s going to make him feel better?
This is a very interesting approach to test people’s awareness and to prove a point. I’ll let the video speak for itself but I was pretty amazed when I watched it. I was so focused on what was going on that I litererally did not see what was right in front of my face.
Good thing there wasn’t anything red, shiny and candy-like. I’d be all done then!
Cute video of a hen-pecked husband’s torrid love and passion for his Harley-Davidson. There’s a lot of soap and inappropriate touching, not to mention the quintessential, sexy soundtrack of “Let’s Get it On” by Mr. Marvin Gaye. But they’re clearly having a moment together. And that’s special.
This is awesome, vintage footage of motorcycle hill climbs filmed somewhere in California in the 1930’s. I love watching this and seeing how bumpy the rides are up the hill. These guys were nuts.

Last night the Teutels showed up on one of my favorite shows: My Name is Earl. Now, if you’ve never seen this show I have to tell you it’s one of the funniest shows on tv (and I’m super-critial of comedies. Or maybe I just have a strange sense of humor…but I digress).
The premise of the show is that Earl has done a lot of bad things in his life and after winning the lottery & then getting hit by a car, he has an epiphany and decides he has to cleanse his karma by righting the wrongs he’s done.
Last night’s show, Stole a Motorcycle, details a night that Earl and his brother, Randy, stole a motorcycle from the OCC guys shop (not a chopper, it was a crappy beater bike that looked like a Sportster) that someone left the keys in. Paul Sr. and Jr. did their typical arguing schtick and Mikey was the jokester who left the keys in the bike. Screen time was short and sweet.
(the videos are from nbc.com, so sorry if there’s ads in them)
The interesting thing is that OCC was also approached to create a My Name is Earl theme bike to be auctioned off for the Make a Wish foundation. If you watch the show, then you can understand how humorous the paint job and plaid shirt seat cover is.
The actors talk about the Teutels’ acting abilities and Paul Sr. talks about creating the charity bike:
If you can try watch the episode either in a re-run or somewhere online. I highly recommend it!
Yes, ’tis true. A music video by Criss Angel, the magician.
It’s kind of formulaic for a “metal” music video.
‘Nuff said. Throw up the horns and rock on with your bad selves!
Inspired by watching a show on Fuse TV called Talking Metal I decided to dust off this strip club classic video by Motley Crue. Love it or hate it, you gotta admit, they look like they’re having a great time.
One of the most popular posts on this site has to be the one that featured steampunk-inspired motorcycles. Not only are the motorcycles art to behold, they’re just really frickin’ cool.
Which brings me to a creation that’s been making the rounds all over the internet: a steam-electric hybrid motorcycle called The Whirlygig Emoto, built by an artist named Tom Sepe. The frame is 1967 Tote-Gote and while it’s steam-powered it actually doesn’t “go” using steam, it’s propelled by propane and batteries. But the steam still gives it a cool effect, even if it sounds like the tea’s done!
If you’d like to read up on this kooky creation, here’s a few links:
I’m going to let you in on one of my deep, dark guilty-pleasure secrets: I love watching Jackass. While I didn’t watch the show faithfully, I did watch both movies which unleashed my inner, giggling 12 year-old boy. The rational side of me knows that I shouldn’t like what they do one bit and that other rational adults absolutely abhor what they do. But I can’t help it. I love ‘em.
Recently, Johnny Knoxville decided that he was going to attempt an Evel Keneval-style stunt by flipping a motorcycle backward in the air. Problem was, he didn’t really know what he was doing, let go of the bike mid-air which promptly landed on him-breaking the handlebar off in his crotch.
So today you guys get a 2-for-1:
Here’s a short and sweet clip of the crash itself (no sound).
Here’s a much longer clip of Johnny on the Jimmy Kimmel show discussing the accident, the actual accident shot from a different angle and imparting the joys of having a catheter.
I know, he’s an idiot.
