Ducati 900ss Cutaway
The Ducati 900ss was originally released in 1975 and was paired with a sister 750cc model, interestingly the 1975 bikes used a right-foot gear shift despite recent US regulations which stipulated that all motorcycles use left-foot shifters.

The Liberty Tool Company
A love of motor vehicles goes hand in hand with a love of tools. Without our tools we’re at the mercy of someone else’s creative vision and sometimes, that just isn’t good enough. This beautiful short film centres around a man called H.G. “Skip” Brack and his store, The Liberty Tool Company.
Shell Road Map
From the early 1920’s right through to the 1980’s oil and gasoline companies used to hand out free road maps featuring their own company advertising. From a marketing perspective, it’s a very good idea and I’m surprised it isn’t more commonplace nowadays.

Distressed Rising Sun Helmet
I love Biltwell helmets, I have one and wear it daily, I also swear by them to any who ask. The only way to make it better would be a custom paint job by Old School Helmets,
Dragstrip Riot
I’m saddened and confused that I’ve never heard of this film. I don’t see how it can be anything other than wonderful, although a quick check revealed that it didn’t win a best picture Oscar. Baffling.
Snarling Beast
This brilliant poster seems almost like a Hunter S. Thompson dreamscape, I don’t have the backstory on it but thought it was too good not to share.
