**Can’t Stand The Pain?**
For those who love the artistic style and talents of tattoo artist Ami James, of the popular TV show Miami Ink, but hate needles, have no fear. Ami just launched his new venture, Ami James Jewelry Company and its signature Love Hate Choppers collection. The collection includes leather belts, hand-finished pewter belt buckles, solid silver rings and pendants, and more. Each piece features details taken from James’ Miami shop logo. In addition to serving as the inspiration for the “Love Hate Choppers” jewelry collection, James’ logo design details have also been incorporated into accent parts on another one of his business ventures – the new “Love-Hate Choppers” production bikes built by and available from Sucker Punch Sallys. In fact HOT BIKE got the exclusive on the first two bikes and will feature them in an upcoming issue.

**Back in Time**
We hear the terms old school, retro, and boardtracker thrown around all the time, and in some may say the true definitions of these words have been lost in the motorcycle industry due to over use and generalization. Well, when it comes to a true representation of the bikes from the past, Timeless Motor Company seems to stand alone. Inspired by the remarkable quality and tolerances of the vintage bikes from a hundred years ago, machinist, mold maker and motorcycle enthusiast Mike Hanlon became obsessed with trying to recreate the mystique and heritage of the single cylinder motorcycles of the past. We say he’s done it, these bikes are amazing and nearly authentic representations of bikes from days gone by with brass accents, leather belt drives and many cast components. Available in two models, Classic Street Bike or Boardtrack Bike completely assembled or in a build it yourself kit.
