Brooklyn Gin
Gin is a phenomenal spirit, I far prefer it to vodka or rum an the fact that it’s a great to drink with tonic and fresh lime on hot summer afternoons puts it ahead of Scotch at this time of year. Brooklyn Gin is a relatively…
1965 Yamaha YM-1
It’s always great to find random gems on eBay, this beautiful old Yamaha YM-1 2-stroke is currently sitting at $3,300 with the reserve not met and about a day left on the bidding.
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.
Outdoor Survival Crate by Man Crates
It isn’t always easy to buy for men, Father’s Day gifts usually involve cologne, socks, dark chocolate, dodgy beer, cheap bourbon or one of those coffee table books about steam trains.

Ducati 900TT by Rad Ducati
This bike started life as a 1992 Ducati 900TT, already a serious bike in it’s own right. Interestingly, the first thing Rad Ducati did was add a modified Yamaha TZ 250 GP solo seat and modified Yamaha TZ 250 GP front fairings. Tell this to any hardcore Ducatiphile and they’ll be frothing at the mouth but the end result is superb.
Ingmar Beer Surfboards
Ingmar Beer Surfboards are one of those small companies that produce truly unique products, in this case, hand-made wooden surfboards.
Lady Motorcyclist
I just love the look of this motorcycle, the cylindrical fuel tank, the air-cooled thumper, the swept back handlebars and that fantastic front suspension.
The Krugger Goodwood
The bike you see here is the Krugger Goodwood, it was built by Krugger over a period of 6 months and when I say he built it, I really mean it. He created everything from the one-off custom frame to the…
