Advancements in Motorcycling: Fuel Injection - Mean Green Gas Saving Machines

August 02, 2022

During a time when fuel efficiency contributes directly to environmental protection, advancements in motorcycling had to be made in the form of developing the fuel injection system.

While there is an ongoing debate still lingering as to whether or not carbureted engines are less effective and desirable than those with fuel injection systems, all modern motorcycles have been converted to the new system. And that his not a bad thing.

2021 Fuel Cleveland

July 26, 2022

The Fuel Cleveland show mixes some of the best custom and vintage motorcycles with different facets of moto-centric art and photography. The event often changes locations each year giving patrons a whole new experience each time and the 2021 show found its home in a very great location that was the best flow the show has had to date. While local stunt riders took to the streets below keeping everyone's blood pumping, this year's massive indoor vendor village and art exhibits were a great way to get excited for the main floor of motorcycles galore waiting in the next room. While the show always takes a very all inclusive approach this years curation of bikes was a very impressive mix. We have been proud to sponsor the event and also showcase our own motorcycles year after year at Fuel. We spoke with Mikey "Revolt" Arnold of Lowbrow Customs, the organizers of the event to get some info on what people can expect from the upcoming 2022 show.

Well, we met a gentleman, Paul Atkins, one year at AMA vintage days who owns not only one, but three of these incredible machines and he brought his 1966 Harley Davidson with an SOHC CB750 motor powering it to our Old Bike Barn crossroads bike show and the rest is history and an interesting one at that. We sat down with Paul this year to pick his brain about the origins of his blue beauty which he affectionately refers to as "Psychobilly" and also get some info on the other 2 of these wild hybrid machines he has chosen to own over the years.
