The image of motorcycling is changing since a few years. The biker clientele is younger, and the number of women who mount these two-wheel machines is increasing tremendously. Therefore, this new phenomenon has awakened the companies and media’s interests to learn more about that culture. The new motorcycle trends reflect strong values, which go beyond the engine’s sound : community, curiosity, liberty, aesthetic and determination, to name but a few. Moreover, the advent of the social networks influenced the transformation of the motorcycle scene as well as its general public image, thanks to numerous trend-setters. They are young, good-looking and they make us dream about motorcycling and adventures. 26-year-old Becky Goebel is one of them. A familiar face who is well known to the new generation, she helps rejuvenate and energize this growing industry.

How did you become a motorcycle enthusiast ? I’ve always been very influenced by motorcycle culture. My Mom and Dad both ride, my grandma rode, my Guido rode and my Grandpa still does trips of more than 10,000 km with his crew every summer. Since I was young I was always driving and riding things : dirt bikes, snowboards, skateboards, cars, the back of my dad’s bikes, and cars I’d buy and sell off Craigslist. Even to this day, I just want to drive and ride everything fast and fun-looking, even if it’s dangerous as hell. At this point in my life, I’m just more focused on bikes than on anything else because it totally suits everything I love doing and lets me travel the world and meet cool people. Motorcycles are the best invention ever.

FEATURED BIKE
FEATURED BIKE Text : Pascal Richard – Photos : Steve Levesque
Well no ! It seems that the bagger style is not over ! It may be less popular; however it still seems to please those who love a more powerful model. The aging population leads us to believe that it is the “older” bikers who prefer baggers, but young motorcyclists also have a great interest in this model.
The Rimouski Harley-Davidson team, on the East Coast, has understood this craze and has jumped on the opportunity to specialize in the construction of radical baggers. The team, created by the owner Alain Landry, abounds with ideas from small modifications to radical transformations. We can see their competence in action on the “Oceanic,” this bike is featured here and is also presented in RMM’s 2018 calendar.

MOONEYES - 26th Annual Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show, that’s 26 years as a platform for car and bike customizers to express their creativity and bring their creations to life ! That statement alone is awe-inspiring and should immediately illustrate the importance of this show, in the custom culture. New to the scene and as a first-timer to MOONEYES, I can tell you I did not need rose-tinted glasses to fully appreciate the beautiful art form of custom built cars and motorcycles. The MOONEYES show is internationally recognized and considered by many as one of the best and most extensive indoor show of its kind. This year’s edition did not disappoint. It was held on Sunday, December 3rd at the Pacifico Yokohama. A vast and cavernous convention centre played host to the show, as it has in previous years. It’s so large; it was hard to believe the venue was going to be jam-packed in less than 12 hours with 300 custom cars, 650 custom bikes, live bands, 330 vendor booths of fashion brands, art, parts and accessories, artisans and collectors. All in preparation to receive the 17,000 + attendees and media people for the one day show.
