About the author (2010)

Scooter Grubb discovered both photography and motorcycles in high school. Soon the two blended together into a life-long avocation. Today, his photographic work, done with some of America’s top custom builders and V-twin racers, finds its way into the major motorcycle magazines like Hot Bike, American Iron, Rider, Easyriders, Hot Bike Baggers, and Cycle Source, to name just a few. His images from the BUB Land Speed Trials on the Bonneville Salt Flats have been widely published in the US, Europe and Australia. These photo credits include: The American Motorcyclist magazine, The FIM official magazine from Switzerland, Heavy Duty from Australia, and Back Street Heroes from England. Scooter is also author of the book: Harley-Davidson Drag Racing, done in conjunction with the AHDRA.
