It’s a little known fact that during the Second World War, a number of American female pilots made their way to England to fly…
American

Screamin’ Tee by Biltwell
Biltwell is a fantastic brand centred around moto culture, they’re based in California and sell a wide variety of custom motorcycle parts, gear, helmets and apparel.
Honda CB650 by Ugly Motorbikes
Ugly Motorbikes is a San Diego based custom motorcycle garage with a penchant for building exceedingly clean, light, classic café racers. This Honda CB650 is their latest creation, it’s been rebuilt from scratch into one of the more true to form cafe bikes we’ve seen in recent times and personally, I like it.
Hot Rod Magazine
Hot Rod Magazine was established just after World War II in 1948 and has been publishing a monthly magazine dedicated to automotive tinkering non-stop since then. That’s a hell of a feat.
1929 Cord L-29 Special Coupe
This car, the 1929 Cord L-29 Special Coupe, is one of those motorised industrial design masterpieces that allows all people, regardless of their wheel-number-preference, to stand side by side with their mouths open. Before tentatively checking their wallets to see if they, by some miracle, have enough clams to bid on it.
Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli
Anyone who grew up in the ’60s, ’70s or ’80s and says they didn’t want to be just like Fonzi is either a liar, a miscreant or a woman. All these years later the “Fonzie Touch” is a still a popular term, used to describe the habit of hitting electrical equipment in order to make it work.
Easy Rider
Easy Rider is one of those films that defined a genre, it was released in 1969 and many people don’t know that it was actually written Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Terry Southern.
Carga Bags
Carga Bags was started in 2006 by Argentinean architect Mauro Bianucci, he was living in New York at the time and made the first Carga Bag as an experiment. The bag was given to a friend in the fashion world and through pure word of mouth, orders for the unique bags began to flood in.
The Akira Bike Project
The project has been picking up quite a bit of attention around the web, not least for the fact that Matus will build you your own Akira Bike if you pledge $10,000 to getting his concept off the ground.
