ou might think that with so many bikes in our magazine each year that we would lose track of them, but that is the furthest thing from the truth. Actually, each and every one is important since we only have space for some sixty or so feature bikes a year, each is selected with great care. We try to give credit to those who might not otherwise get noticed, feature the great works of the well known and the unknown alike. Because of the fact that you believe in us to bring your work to our readers, we feel that a simple one time appearance just isn’t quite enough. For that reason and to
celebrate the passing of another year we have put the great bikes of 2017 up to a vote and our readers have selected these ten as the best of what we brought to them in the past 12 issues. To everyone who had a bike in our magazine this year, we thank you and congratulations to the top ten winners. This is our favorite issue of the year for the simple fact that we get to look back with fond memories of the people and places that helped us make our lives in 2017. Thank you all!
1. PURPLE PASSION majic mike’s design
This bike was featured on our March 2017 cover and that entire issue was centered around “Shovelheads.” Mike’s bike was perfect for that cover and it was one of our best issues of the year. Everywhere Mike ended up with this bike he killed it and it fast became one of the best builds of the season. Little did we know at the time that we’d be seeing Mike at The Lone Star Rally where he was an invited builder for “In Motion.” The bike he brought for that was equally killer but this little shovel right here will always have a special place on our wall at the office.
