Taylor Schultz from Schultz Designz has been painting everything he could get his hands on since he was a wee lad. His signature style has been applied to hot-rods, motorcycles, stunt bikes, and more. Now you can add "host" to Taylor's repertoire in this new video series, Between Coats with Taylor Schultz.

Between Coats was created because Taylor is an admirer of creative minds and he has a lot of respect and admiration for other custom painters, no matter the industry. We decided to take Taylor's passion for custom paint and custom painters in general and turn it into this series where Taylor spends some time chatting with friends, mentors, peers, and anyone else he respects. We started with Andy Meeh from Flyin' Iron Designs. Andy's as talented as they come and about as nice as they come too–a hard one to find in a great painter. Taylor met up with Andy in Oceanside to talk shop, paint, and well, watch the interview yourself and enjoy! Be sure to like and subscribe to get more rad videos like this!

We were stoked to see the First 6 Custom Indian Sport Chief RT build
Program here at @motorbikeexpo in Verona, Italy. Basically, this is a custom
Build-off challenge between six different dealers in Europe and there are some definite talented builders involved in this program. This is an online voting contest and the build-off is happening now. Winners will be announced at the Lyon Motor Show on February 13-16, 2025. Stay tuned!

Wandering around the Motor Bike Expo halls in Verona, Italy with Satya Kraus from @krausmotorcorp, we encountered the new 2025 @harleydavidson Pan America 1250 ST.

Since the bike had just been released while we were both in Verona, it was cool to see the new changes that Harley made to make the ADV bike a bit more streetable in 2025. Here’s a Quick Look at Satya’s first impressions of the new street-oriented Pan America.

Not only did the Gallery Motorcycles 1942 Harley-Davidson WLA pick up our Hot Bike Pick award from Motor Bike Expo. It also was crowned King of Verona as the best bike from the Motor Bike Expo show. When we first saw this bike we knew it was special. The attention to detail is second to none and the Gallery Motorcycles crew really pay attention to the little things. Which as we all know lead to the big things: the overall bike! It’s never easy picking one custom from the sea of all things cool, and there was some stiff competition at the 2025 Motor Bike Expo show. But Gallery Mororcycles’ incredibly svelte and detail-oriented custom WLA takes home the top prize from us here at Hot Bike. Look for a full feature in the next issue of Hot Bike Magazine, plus, we’ll be sending them a rad one-off custom Speakeasy Original ring for their efforts. Ciao!

Bad Boys Garage won the Hot Bike Magazine Award at the 2024 Motor Bike Expo with its incredible Nightster build. This year, Bad Boys Garagw are back with another show stopping performance bagger where everything was touched. Just see for yourselves! Enjoy!

We spotted this John Player Special Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST at Motor Bike Expo and did double take. The guys at Northern Growl Garage in Italy did an incredible job with the balance of black and gold with a the right performance components making it as cool standing still as it most likely looks on the road. Enjoy!

We're back with another episode of The Parts Counter! We teamed up with Harley-Davidson to showcase cool, new Genuine Motorcycle Parts & Accessories on various H-D models.
