Le Side-Car
It seems a shame that side cars have fallen from grace in the modern age, this French example built by Simard is a work of art. Hell even the advertising is a work of art.

I love nothing more than coming across a bike that makes me stop and re-evaluate my own notions of what a specific style of bike should look like. This Honda CB350 built by the guys at Ellaspede is a genuinely innovative, modern interpretation of the café racer genre, and we really like it.
Group B Rally was introduced by the FIA in 1982 and quickly resulted in cars that blew the lid off anything that had ever raced on gravel in the past. The cars were the most technologically advanced vehicles the world had ever seen, they were lightweight, exceedingly powerful and staggeringly unsafe machines that performed, essentially, like a rally version of a Formula 1 car.

This stunning Seeley Norton was built by Kenny Cummings and Dan Rose for the latest season of Cafe Racer TV. Amazingly the total weight of the bike is just 136 kgs (300lbs), that beautiful Norton Combat engine is race tuned and turns out 70+hp making this a highly capable track day bike.
This retro Speedy Bike Club Tee is 100% made in the USA and cut from super-soft cotton, the price is a wallet friendly $24 and they have a whole selection of different cities to choose from.
The Pea Coat is a staple item for any self-respecting man’s wardrobe. The timeless appeal hasn’t waned in over a hundred years and there’s still nothing quite like the feeling of buttoning up a double breasted jacket before heading out into inclement weather.
Wrecked Metals is a hot rod and chopper shop based in Boise Idaho run by Matt Whitlock, I like them because they aren’t super-blingy like many other garages with a similar MO.
Old bikes like this BSA Spitfire Scramber always hold great appeal for me, given the choice of a modern, plastic-fairing covered dirt bike or this, I’d go BSA everytime. Sure, they might be heavier, less reliable, harder to start and harder to stop but bikes like this have a tangible personality. Some days they’ll be bastards and some days they’ll be saints, as far as I’m concerned, that’s half the fun.
If you’ve ever wanted to be that guy who everyone at the motorcycle rally walks over to and says “what the hell is that?”, this may just be your ride. Built by Böhmerland in 1936 this very rare and decidedly odd looking bike has a 600cc single cylinder engine,
Custom motorcycles come in all shapes and sizes, some builders add as much as they can to a bike, some remove as much as possible and some throw away everything and start from scratch. Motor Rock falls into the latter category. With this Kawasaki Z750 LTD build Motor Rock threw away the frame, exhaust, fuel tank, seat and rear suspension. They essentially started this build with an engine, some wheels and a pair of forks.
Lossa Engineering is a one-stop shop for custom motorcycle parts, based in Southern California the shop has become famous in its own right due…
