Underglow? Ten years ago!






   The underglow look is so last decade! Welcome to the 20's! This logo projector light was such a fun little Easter Egg to hide on the bike. Maybe it'll catch on!

Bike Week '25- JUDGE'S CHOICE AWARD WINNER!!

Image
     Hot Wheels had an amazing time at Thunder on the Strip 2025 in Geneva-on-the-Lake!! Bike Week 2024 was uneventful, there was even a little snow on the ground, and the Bike Show was cancelled, or so we thought. 2025 showed up BIG TIME! Hot Wheels entered in the "Reasons to Ride" bike show, and was an absolute head turner!       Hot Wheels has a special ability to appeal to everyone in a crowd- from moms and kids and grandparents to even the most hardcore bikers! Sometimes, life doesn't need to be so serious. Evidently, the judges agreed! Hot Wheels took home the prize! This could not have been a better weekend for Hot Wheels, even though we forgot the final coat of turtle wax before the show! Oops!     Special thanks to  Reasons To Ride for putting on this incredible show! Be sure to check out their page to see if there are any upcoming shows near you! Also visit Thunder On The Strip 's official website for info on Bike Week in Gene...

If anyone has more information on the gold bike, feel free to comment below!

   Some of you might have noticed that other mini-chopper that seems to like to hang out with Hot Wheels! That's Goldie! Goldie is a Diablo 125cc mini-chopper.    Goldie came from a friend, who got it from a different friend in the group who passed away a while back. Originally, legend has it that this chopper was discovered in a man's shed, next to a few others, each with its own different theme.     Goldie needed a lot of work as well when it came in. The front forks were completely shot as far as the finish was concerned, and the chain kept popping because it wasn't assembled correctly at the axle- it never had a spacer it was supposed to get.    After the basic routine maintenance, some major cleanup, ironing out all the mechanical and wiring kinks, it was time to add the headlight, paint it up, and take it to Bike Week!     Wait, no, of course not. This thing doesn't have a clutch! Goldie was born to have a suicide shifter...
