This American LeFrance Speedster is a V12 custom built steam punk-esque monster with a 200hp engine, a chassis from a 1923 American LeFrance and so much attention to detail I’m convinced that it was built by a man with clinical OCD.

This minimalist Honda CB750 cafe racer is a quintessential Steel Bent Customs motorcycle, all the unnecessary nonsense is in the garbage leaving just a raw, almost skeletal motorbike that’ll happily carve up mountain roads with the best of them.

We love this slightly goofy shot of Brando, so often in photographs he looks serious or downright angry, it’s great to see him having some fun with a couple of ladies that none of us would kick out of bed on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

We’re not sure which film this shot is from, although it’s probably discernible by the model year of that red Beetle in the shot and the wild west town in the background.

What Is A Silodrome?

The traditional “Silodrome” was a carnival sideshow attraction also called the “Wall of Death." You may have seen them at county fairs – the vertical velodromes were originally built from old grain silos, leading to the name "silo-drome."
