by Leave a Comment

Chuck Miller a resident of Anchorage, Alaska undertook an outstanding journey which involved 49 states, covering a total of 13,000 kms in 10 days on his BMW motorcycle, to raise money for Big Brothers/Big Sisters charity in the US state.

Chuck chose the Big Brother/Big Sister charity because he was touched by the amount of hard work and dedication they used to put in their work which was catered towards kids having drug-related issues. Due to their commitment, kids in their program were 46% less likely to use drugs and 30% were more likely to finish their high school, making the life of kids a better place. On the trip he encountered a full range of conditions, from 36 degrees to extremes of 116 degrees. He carried two complete sets of gear, one for the warm weather and one for cold one. He encountered harsh terrain, heat, rain along the trip.

The trip has made a huge difference on Chuck and his charity as he has managed to raise $10,000 so far. ASRC Energy Services, an Alaskan company sponsored to him to cover all his expenses, so that what ever amount he manages to raise will all directly go to the charity.

His journey came to a stop in Mount Vernon, where he visited his parents, Carl and Georgia Miller, before heading home.

The Indian Gorilla V4 custom bike

by Leave a Comment

In the world of motorcycles, custom choppers have always had a very special niche, with their beauty, power and exclusivity.

And where some designs are awesome, others are simply down right bad-ass. This one is no exception – it showcases just to what extent a master designer can go to create his work of art.

Vasilatos Ianis has been designing works of art like these for nearly two decades. He loves vehicle design and has the incredible ability to create amazing vehicle concepts which particularly focus on the wheels, and the possibilities that lie within, to make them both striking and absolutely functional. The Indian Gorilla V4 is a concept which has been incorporated with Indian motorcycles, one of the most iconic brands in the world and features a hubless design.

The ideology behind the master piece is the integration of technology taken from the rich history of Indian motorcycles and the futuristic approach of hubless design. The bike is a combination of a muscular bike with delicate detailing which incorporates a retro styled instrumentation panel, ventilation grilles and numbered cylinders. The motorcycle is powered by a massive V4 engine. Big exhaust pipes, sporty riding position, 32 inch tires, large amount of chrome parts and external tubular frame structure, all combine to make this bad boy a dream bike for enthusiasts.

For more information on Vasilatos Ianis’ Indian Gorilla V4 concept, check out the July 2012 issue of Bike India, on stands soon.
