Killer Motors from DBR 2026
Patrick Tibbetts spent the 2026 Deadbeat Retreat hunting the details. He skipped the crowd shots and the burnouts and went straight for the motors: Knuckles, Pans, Shovels, Ironheads, Evos, even a few Twin Cams, shot up close in whatever light the day handed him. Here's the best of it. Killer motors from DBR 2026, all shot by Pat.
The Man Behind the Lens
Patrick Tibbetts has been shooting Harleys since 2017. He grew up in a Harley family, so pointing a camera at these machines was never a stretch, documenting the hours people pour into them has always been the draw.
He also served eight years between the Marine Corps and the Army with two overseas deployments, and these days photography is equal parts passion and decompression. In his words, the Retreat was a slice of heaven for a fella like him.

Evos & Pans
Sporty Territory
Sportsters get treated like the cheap seats right up until somebody builds one properly. Then they get all the attention in the field.
Thanks to everybody who hauled a bike out to the field this year. If you missed it, and if any of this gave you ideas for your own bike, we stock the parts to get you there — shop Harley-Davidson parts.
