Indy CB360
It’s often remarkable what 6 months in a garage can accomplish. Nick, the builder of this remarkable Honda CB360, found it in an old mans shed and offered him $300 for it, the guy accepted the offer and Nick took it home.

Café Racer Tee by Dime City Cycles
Dime City Cycles is a one stop shop for anyone building or restoring a café racer or retro/vintage motorcycle, they literally sell everything a bike builder might need, including threads like this Café Racer Tee.
Torpedo by StanCraft
It’s exceedingly difficult to wrap words around design like this, the Torpedo by StanCraft is one of the most beautiful 3 dimensional objects I’ve ever seen.
The Bullet by Imperial Cycles
Imperial Cycles is run by a couple of talented west coast builders named Eric and Jerome, their designs all have a unique and modern feel with an unmistakable and almost scifi/steampunk retro flavour.
Bullitt In One Photograph
Easily one of the greatest car films of all time, Bullitt featuring Steve McQueen has become one of the standout celluloid icons of the late 60s. This picture was taken during filming and, I think, it sums up the film rather well. Hell, it sums up McQueens entire career rather well.
Xetum Stinson
California based Xetum Watches produce some very interesting timepieces, the relatively new company uses modern, American designs and powers them with ETA 2824-2 Swiss…
1977 Pontiac Police Cars
70’s and early 80’s police cars made an indelible impression on my mind as a kid, every movie worth watching featured boxy American cop cars chasing boxy American baddies.
Hydrodynamic Corvette
This is Don Yenko racing his 1961 Corvette, I don’t have any further information on the picture sadly. When I first found it I spent a quarter of an hour staring at it and admiring the aerodynamic effect the rain water and wind created as they pass over the hood and windshield. It’s beautiful.
Airstream Sport
Airstream have been building trailers since the 1930s, their easily identifiable all-aluminium bodies are a feature of highways around the world. The Airstream design was created by Hawley Bowlus, that’s the same unusually named chap who designed Charles Lindbergh’s aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis.
Tractor Skis
I’m convinced that if I had a pair of Tractor Skis and a Colt 45 I could take over most of Canada in less than a week.
Biltwell Shield Tee
Biltwell produce some of the most iconic helmets and custom motorcycle parts on the planet, the company is a favourite of men like Shinya Kimura, which kind of tells you all you need to know. This understated Tee features the Biltwell logo and looks just about perfect for summertime beach-boulevarde cruising.
Evel Knievel Interview – 1971
This 1971 interview on The Dick Cavett Show features a relaxed, wise-cracking Evel Knievel. The interview has been split into 3 parts and, rather brilliantly, still has all the original early-70s television advertisements in place.
