Ugly Motorbikes have a habit of making their name pleasantly ironic, they invariably turn out motorcycles like this Yamaha cafe racer, that are so beautiful they almost seem to pop out at you through the screen.
This original tee design by the team over at Rust Revival caught my eye a couple of weeks ago, Rust Revival is a classic clothing brand that creates a handsome line of retro goods and their store is well worth a visit.
We’ve been going through a bit of a vintage drag phase over here at Silodrome for the past few weeks, I think it’s because few other motorsports provide so many captivating photographs in such a small space of time.
The 1959 Lister-Chevrolet is one of those remarkable historical curiosities that most of us have never heard of, the eye-catching design was the work of Frank Costin, a man who is almost certainly the most underrated automotive designer of the last century.
This Kawasaki Z1000 ST by The Wrenchmonkees is actually a great example of the style of their work, their bikes tend to have a gritty, dark, urban feel to them – almost like 2-wheeled versions of an ’80s Springsteen song.
The Roberu Leather Camera Strap is the first accessory you’ll need when unboxing a new digital SLR.

On the off chance that you’d ever wondered how much chrome actually went into the average American car in the 1950s, this image shows you in quite some detail.

The 1965 Ducati 250 Mach 1 was a major motorcycle for the Italian marque, the performance of the single cylinder 250cc engine quickly made it a popular choice across Europe and it wasn’t long till Mike Rogers used one to win the 250cc production-class at the Isle of Man TT.
The classic wool blanket is a staple at this time of year, the heat retention and fire-resistant properties of wool has yet to be matched by any made-made fibre.
This classic shot of Evel Knievel makes me white knuckle my desk slightly, it’s interesting that he doesn’t appear to be looking at the landing ramp, but rather is looking further down-range.
When the Portland based team at Icon set to work on a new motorcycle the results are always fascinating, unusual and sure to upset purists everywhere. Which I think is commendable.
