Drag Facing
I can’t get past the fantastic look on the face of this drag racer, it’s somewhere equidistant between horror and happiness.
American
Sonny
Sonny Barger is, not even arguably, the most famous outlaw biker of all time. He was the main character in Hunter S. Thompson’s book “Hell’s Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs”, he also wrote a series of books, he’s been in a number of feature films and more recently appeared in the television series “Sons of Anarchy” (which is based on Hamlet, interestingly).
The Hell With Work Hip Flask
The team at Izola have a special knack for making stuff that I’d commit an armed felony to own. This “The Hell With Work” hip flask is a great example of their gear, it’s made from stainless steel, has a flat bottom and a screw-on cap to keep that sweet, sweet nectar safe.
Angels From Hell
Angels From Hell is an entertaining film about a former motorcycle gang leader who returns home from the Vietnam War and sets about creating a new gang.
Retro Suitcase Stereo by Curious Provisions
These incredible suitcase stereos are each made by hand from an authentic vintage suitcase, this case is called “The Lady Bug” and it has 4 individual speakers, a 40W amplifier with volume, bass & treble control, a built in lithium battery good for 8+ hours of music and a jack that connects to any iPhone/iPad/MP3 player.
Aether Canvas Travel Bag
The Aether Canvas Travel Bag is the sort of carry-all you need for a winter weekend away, it’s made from durable Italian-canvas and has a Schoeller® base with metal feet.
1957 Daytona Beach Race
The 1957 Daytona Beach Race was one of the truly classic early NASCAR events, the cars had to be showroom stock with only some minor safety additions. I think this sort of racing series would be incredible to see nowadays, totally stock sedans racing on circuits around the world would draw a lot of attention. Hell, I’d watch it.
Iron & Resin Hooligan Derby
The Iron And Resin Hooligan Derby is a race series that took part at the Ventura Raceway in California in April, May, June, September and November 2012. This video is a highlights reel of sorts, I just watched it twice and now I’m dying to go race with the guys next season.
1955 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster
The 1955 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster is a fantastic testament to 1950s automotive design, it’s got all the chrome, curves and fins you could want in a car, plus, it’s bright red and fitted with a glorious American V8.
Vintage Shoe Company ‘Isaac’ Boot
The Vintage Shoe Company is based in Martinsburg, Pennsylvania, they hand make some of the best looking footwear in the USA and this is their current favourite from their collection.
MotoPatriot
Some photographs seem to tell a hell of a story, even when we don’t know anything about them.
Honda CB750 Stainless by Steel Bent Customs
This Honda CB750 cafe racer by Steel Bent Customs is a fantastic example of minimalist custom motorcycle building, there’s nothing on the bike that doesn’t need to be there from a purely functional perspective and I kind of think that this is how it should be.
