Leica III
Leica is widely considered to be one of the greatest camera manufacturers of all time, the fundamental design of the Leica is so famous that it became a pop-culture icon in its own lifetime.
Sonny
Sonny Barger is, not even arguably, the most famous outlaw biker of all time. He was the main character in Hunter S. Thompson’s book “Hell’s Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs”, he also wrote a series of books, he’s been in a number of feature films and more recently appeared in the television series “Sons of Anarchy” (which is based on Hamlet, interestingly).
Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force Concept
The world of 4x4s is considerably more staid when it comes to design than their smaller 2×4 road based counterparts. Boxy, solid designs tend to be favoured for serious, non-Soccer Mom off-road duties and when designers get all inspired and create something a little curvy, they can actually send the company out of business (a la Hummer).
The Hell With Work Hip Flask
The team at Izola have a special knack for making stuff that I’d commit an armed felony to own. This “The Hell With Work” hip flask is a great example of their gear, it’s made from stainless steel, has a flat bottom and a screw-on cap to keep that sweet, sweet nectar safe.
Angels From Hell
Angels From Hell is an entertaining film about a former motorcycle gang leader who returns home from the Vietnam War and sets about creating a new gang.
1969 BSA A65 Lightning
The BSA Lightning has always held a place in my heart, the bike just exudes timeless, vintage style. The 1969 model year BSA A65 Lightning was fitted with a fantastic 654cc OHV parallel twin capable of producing 53hp and a total weight of 179kgs.
Retro Suitcase Stereo by Curious Provisions
These incredible suitcase stereos are each made by hand from an authentic vintage suitcase, this case is called “The Lady Bug” and it has 4 individual speakers, a 40W amplifier with volume, bass & treble control, a built in lithium battery good for 8+ hours of music and a jack that connects to any iPhone/iPad/MP3 player.
303 Ground Crew
This undated WWII photograph shows a team of men unboxing some .303 ammunition, almost certainly to load it into the wing-guns of the Hawker Hurricane or Spitfire in the background.
Moto Guzzi V7 Stone
The stock model Moto Guzzi V7 Stone is actually a rather good motorcycle, it weighs in at a fairly light 179kgs and that v-twin produces 50hp and 42.7 ft lbs of torque.
Aether Canvas Travel Bag
The Aether Canvas Travel Bag is the sort of carry-all you need for a winter weekend away, it’s made from durable Italian-canvas and has a Schoeller® base with metal feet.
Mini Moto
We don’t know who this little fellow is but by God, he appears to have had the coolest childhood in recorded human history.
1957 Daytona Beach Race
The 1957 Daytona Beach Race was one of the truly classic early NASCAR events, the cars had to be showroom stock with only some minor safety additions. I think this sort of racing series would be incredible to see nowadays, totally stock sedans racing on circuits around the world would draw a lot of attention. Hell, I’d watch it.
