Mickey Rourke’s Bike
Mickey Rourke’s bike is just about as interesting as you might expect, Mickey Rourke himself seems to have been around forever, he exploded back onto the scene recently with a breakaway performance…
Custom Motorcycles
Vincent HRD Cafe Racer
This Vincent cafe racer was built by a friendly guy by the name of Phil Lemon, he shot me over an email last week and casually mentioned that he’d built a Vincent cafe racer and asked if…
Custom Sportster by Hidemo
The humble Sportster is one of the most popular bases for custom motorcycle building in the US, interestingly it’s also a wildly popular bike for tweaking within the Japanese bike building community.
BMW R75/5 Café Racer
BMW motorcycles from the ’60s and ’70s provide a somewhat unexpected platform for café racer conversions, the bikes (largely) weren’t designed as speed demons…
Scrambler Kit by Mr Martini
The Triumph Scrambler is a modern motorcycle that, with a few clever tweaks, could be genuinely great. Nicola Martini obviously agrees with this sentiment although unlike me, he has the skills and resources to actually do something about it.
Honda CB350 Café Racer by Team Scott Racing
The Honda CB350 is a fantastic platform for café racerisation. It’s a lightweight and inexpensive bike to buy, parts are easy to come by and it’s a remarkably forgiving bike to ride at speed.
TwinTrax by The German Motorcycle Authority
Leaving for a moment the unusual name of this garage and just looking at this, their “TwinTrax” motorcycle design from 2011, it’s difficult to know how to categorise their style.
Aston Martin DB7/DB4 Zagato
This is a rather unique motorcar, it gives the first impression of being an early ’60s Zagato but it’s actually based on a DB7 Vantage from the late ’90s. Coachbuilders Evanta stripped the donor DB7 down to almost nothing…
Ducati Flash Back Endurance by Mr Martini
The Ducati Flash Back Endurance is instantly recognisable as a Mr Martini custom, the balance between state-of-the-art technology and style is a hallmark of Nicola Martini’s garage.
Custom Boardtracker Harley
I’m not entirely sure how to categorise this motorcycle, it started life as a 1996 Harley-Davidson Sportster however it’s clearly been reworked from tip to tail and it now resembles a sort of rat rod, heavy boardtracker.
1959 Troy Roadster
The 1959 Troy Roadster is a one off, road legal race car designed and built by Wally Troy in 1959. Wally was the first Jaguar dealer licensed in Illinois but his real passion was racing and his great dream was to design and build a road legal race car that could rub shoulders with the Formula 1 cars of the era.
Nimbus Bobber
This modified 1950 Nimbus Bobber is the brainchild of Kim Scholer, a Danish man who says he chose the 22hp inline 4 due to the fact that it isn’t fast enough to get him into trouble. It’s hard to place the Nimbus into any particular category…
