Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
Hunter S. Thompson was a complex man, he’s been described as many things but apart from the words “writer” and “rogue” it’s mostly just hearsay and drivel.
Bell Custom 500 Hurricane Helmet
The Bell Custom 500 Hurricane Helmet is a direct throwback to the mid-70s when Kenny Roberts was defeating all-comers on his blazing yellow Yamaha.
1957 BSA Gold Star Flat Tracker
I wouldn’t usually feature a motorcycle when I don’t have a decent, front-on photograph of it. But in this case I decided to make an exception. What you’re looking at here is a 1957 BSA Gold Star Flat Tracker with a custom Sonic Weld rigid frame, Ceriani forks, a 2-gallon alloy fuel tank, a 1 1/2″ GP carburettor, Racing Mag alloy rims, a custom exhaust, a rear disc brake and a recently rebuilt engine.
Hobo 3-in-1 Utensil Kit by Ka-Bar Knives

Type 9 by Zero Engineering
The Type 9 by Zero Engineering is the newest model out of the now world famous garage that was originally founded by Shinya Kimura. It’s a significantly updated motorcycle over the well-known Type 5 and Type 6 models – though it may not look like it at first glance.

This is the Icon Stryker Vest, most people (myself included) consider it the best looking armoured vest on the market at the moment – it’s packed with D3O® armour, has articulating back-plates, a protective chest shield and adjustable shoulder and waist straps to ensure a snug fit.
Royal Enfield Bobber by Old Empire Motorcycles

1963 Aston Martin DB4 ‘Series V’ Vantage
When it comes to project cars, you’ll be hard pressed find one more promising than this 1963 Aston Martin DB4 ‘Series V’ Vantage. In some respects, the ‘Series V’ Vantage was actually the beta version of the DB5 – the styling was carried over almost unchanged – which leads many people (including me on occasion) to confuse the DB4 Series ‘V’ with the DB5.
Vintage Edison Industrial Lamp
The Edison light globes, with their glowing filaments, have always fascinated me. Modern, energy efficient lighting with LED or fluorescent bulbs are useful for the garage or bathroom but when it comes to a desktop lamp, I think we need something a little cooler.
1934 Crocker Speedway Racer
This is one of those bikes that instantly sets off a huge amount of want in almost all who see it, it’s an original 1934 Crocker Speedway Racer and it’s one of only 30 that were ever made.
Deus X Santalum Boots
These motorcycle boots by Deus Ex Machina are amongst the toughest boots we’ve come across recently. They’re made from 2.00 – 2.20mm rough-out Buffalo hide, they have a handmade Goodyear-welted sole with double-row stitchdown and a USA-made steel toe up front.
