Sleeping in the Top Bunk

In the first issue of Limiter we made reference to Eric Hoenshell's "top-tanking" ways. Most thought this was a reference to a stunt riding technique involving positioning oneself atop the fuel tank. Nothing could be further from the truth. Our thanks go out to Eric for enlightening us, and the Icon bathroom, to the classy world of the upper deck. Cheers mate.

French Stuntin'

Nick Apex turned us on to a rider in France that goes by the name 'GuyGuy'. Which translates literally to 'DudeDude'. Do you have video of your mad parking lot skills? Send us a link.

Wide circle action set to a magnificent score

The Container Yard Classic 2010

We live motorcycles - not labels. Some think it odd - the eclectic hoard of Crotch Rockets, Sportys, and broke-ass Yamahondas. Icon is an enlightened look into the future. A fun ride of heavy-wristed abuse and irreverent attitude. We have never felt the need to discriminate over displacement, cylinder configuration, or country of origin. The bikes of Icon are crafted with a unique methodology: creation of the new from the ashes of the rashed.

The current batch of Icon customs are based on our fondness for the dirt oval. And for choppers. And for cafe racers. All of these genres are conscripted into our ranks. Enter Cold Dead Fingers, Anemic, The Snakecharmer, and both lastly and leastly, The Kitten. Armed with large knobbed tires we sent this batch of air-cooled combatants to war in the gravel strewn outskirts of North Portland. A zesty enterprise of gas spewing tanks and dust choked nostrils. A course dictated by rusty containers and disgruntled longshoremen, backlit by a blistering August sun. An event that would eventually become known as the Container Yard Classic. No one would survive alive.

Deep in the heart of NE Portland the battle rages - Team Icon vs. The Bikes of Icon 

Helmet Week

This week is Helmet Week, which is something like Shark Week except Helmet Week is a lot better because we're not just gona show a bunch of dudes in tight suits swimming around with the zombies of the sea. We're kicking things off with a video overview of our Obsession. Enjoy.
