Marlon Brando – The Wild One
The Wild One kickstarted a whole generation of motorcyclists, the Triumph that Brando rides in the film is still a hugely popular model for vintage bike enthusiasts.

I don’t know many men who aren’t die hard Star Wars aficionados. In fact come to think of it, I don’t know a single XY chromosome bearer who doesn’t border on the fanatical when it comes to Star Wars appreciation.
When it comes to customising Vincent motorcycles, bike builders have to walk a very, very fine line. One misstep and they’ll have thousands of pitchfork wielding moto-purists beating down their door, baying for blood.
Usually I’m very careful about bold colours, however, I’ve learned the hard way to use brighter colours when it comes to wallets, laptop bags and iPhone/iPad cases. It makes them a lot harder to lose or leave on the backseat of a cab.
There’s something about classic flat tracker motorcycles that makes me deeply happy, the chap in this photograph in the lead is wearing the coolest boots, jacket and helmet I’ve seen in a long while.
Urban parking isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time, though I’m not quite sure if this particular idea is the answer, it certainly is interesting.

The Dynasphere was a unique attempt at rethinking the still relatively new concept of personal, motorised transport. And it was insane.
The classic World War II Jeep is a car that I’ve always wanted, perhaps not as a daily driver but certainly as a weekend warrior.

The Elsinore Boot by Icon is part of their all new Icon 1000 range, the collection is made up of no-nonsense helmets, boots, clothing, gloves and other gear, largely designed to survive and thrive in a post apocalyptic, overrun-with-zombies future-scape from hell. Meaning they’ll be able to handle your regular commute without blinking an eye.
With the fast approach of summer our attention slowly shifts to sunny days at the beach and long drives down coast roads. This retro tee from Roland Sands Design captures the spirit of a summer well spent
