Richard Pollock has been building motorcycles since before Bike EXIF existed. With such a tenure comes a measure of consistency; the man behind the Mule Motorcycles moniker never disappoints. Although Mule is best known for his impeccable Harley flat trackers, he does just as well with other marques too. His latest project is a 2005 KTM 525 EXC with an erratic backstory and one heck of an attitude. “It started out as a 'well used' trail bike that was street plated,” Mule explains. “I bo...| Bike EXIF

This pristine Harley Sportster street tracker is ready to shine at a show or tear up the streets. But Mule still has a laundry list of mods that he plans to ...| Bike EXIF

If there's one man who knows how to eke every last bit of performance out of a flat tracker, it's Richard Pollock.

Even though the Harley-Davidson Evolution Sportster is no longer in production, it's eons away from going extinct. There are plenty of second-hand Evo Sportsters kicking around, and no shortage of aftermarket parts for them. And as long as the Sporty is still in play, masters like Richard 'Mule' Pollock will be on hand to extract the maximum potential from it. Most of the Sportsters that roll out of the Mule Motorcycles workshop are either bona fide flat track race bikes, or street trackers t...| Bike EXIF
Richard Pollock has an enviable problem: a full order book. Just last week, we featured a stunning Harley Sportster street tracker in his signature Mule Motorcycles style. It turns out that he churned out a second Sportster around the same time, and it's just as wild. The project was conceived when Mule's client brought him a very unique Harley-Davidson motorcycle—an early 'iron' XR750 flat tracker that had previously been owned by the late Allan Girdler. A lifelong racer, journalist, and f...| Bike EXIF
