The Royal Racer in Biarritz
This fantastic short film covers the recent “Wheels and waves” weekend in Biarritz, it includes some of the most eye catching bikes and cars I’ve seen for some time and I’ve already pencilled the event in for 2013.
Motorcycles
Moto Guzzi Racer by Kaffeemaschine
Kaffeemaschine is probably the single best Moto Guzzi custom garage in the world today, it’s run by a talented chap by the name of Axel Budde, a native of Hamburg.
The Ding Dagger by Deus Ex Machina
Deus Ex Machina’s ability to take a stock Yamaha SR500 and turn it into a stripped back cafe racer/summertime belter is well known and well respected.
Honda Dominator Ottocento11
This Honda Dominator NX is a new addition to the list, the 650cc single cylinder base model has a loyal fan-base around the world, the bike is famous for it’s reliability and it’s capability to quite literally climb mountains.
Mystery Indian
This is another one of those mystery photographs where I ask you, our learned readers, to let us know what motorcycle model that this and if any of you have any backstory on the picture in question.
Benelli Leoncino
The Benelli Leoncino is a masterclass in mid-20th century Italian motorcycle design, it has a timeless aesthetic appeal that wouldn’t look at all out of place in a modern art museum.
Board Tracker Football
This fantastic, action packed photograph was taken on the football pitch of Crystal Palace in London in 1923. The gentlemen in the picture are clearly enjoying a hotly contested game of football with a small crowd of spectators looking on through a haze of burnt gasoline.
BTR 3 by Goldammer Cycle
The BTR 3 by Goldammer Cycle is a testament to what a talented bike builder can achieve using some steel tubing, an acetylene torch and some staggering attention to detail.
Honda CB200T Cafe Racer by Bare Bone Rides
This bike is Bare Bone Ride’s take on the Honda CB200T, the original bike is a fantastic, lightweight motorcycle that lends itself to cafe racer conversion with ease.
Yamaha SR500 by Custom House Stinky
This custom Yamaha SR500 is one of my favourite recent builds from Stinky, they’ve gone to a lot of trouble here to give the bike…
Cortadito Cafe Racer
The story behind the Cortadito Cafe Racer is one of those happy coincidences, it was a story that fell into my lap and along with the discovery of a great little cafe racer was the discovery of a great new Miami bike builder for us to keep an eye on.
Gilera 150 Sport
The Gilera 150 Sport is one of those old motorcycles that acts like a persistent testament to what designers can accomplish if left alone and not subjected to focus-groups.
