I know that this makes me less of a man in the eyes of hard-core motorcycle dudes but I don’t care. There’s a lot to be said for a 50cc smoke-spewing two-stroke.
Vintage Corvette Poster
This retro Corvette poster just made my day, the ’58 Corvette is one of the best looking American cars ever made as far as I’m concerned and the gorgeous minimalistic graphic design of this late-50s advertisement does it ample justice.
Stealth by Blitz Motorcycles
The Stealth was built for Edwin, a clothing manufacturer, and is based on the Yamaha TW 125. The TW is an 11hp “go-anywhere” bike with an oversized rear tire designed for beaches/sand-dunes and an exceptionally light frame.
Gangster Waxed Jacket by Belstaff
I like Belstaff Jackets, I own two of them and I always feel they can make anyone look that little bit cooler. Hell, I…
Airborne Harley-Davidson WLA
