The story behind the Cortadito Cafe Racer is one of those happy coincidences, it was a story that fell into my lap and along with the discovery of a great little cafe racer was the discovery of a great new Miami bike builder for us to keep an eye on.
We love this uniquely designed pull over by Under 2 Flags, the top almost has a futuristic-retro feel to it and although it’s too warm in most of the Northern Hemisphere to wear at the moment, this is a good time to grab one for the marked down price of just $72 USD.
This 30 minute film covers the 1965 Le Mans and it includes some of the most famous Le Mans cars in history, if you have 30 spare minutes hit the play button and put your feet up.

The Gilera 150 Sport is one of those old motorcycles that acts like a persistent testament to what designers can accomplish if left alone and not subjected to focus-groups.
Emil Erwin is one of those companies that represents a time before we all got spoiled with cheap Chinese goods that last a season or two and then disintegrate.

The Ducati 900 GTS is one of those motorcycles that sits very close to the top of most motorcycle obsessed gentleman’s wish lists.
Well there’s a lot to be said about vintage motorcycle photography. You’ll be hard pressed to find any pictures taken post-1970 that are as tasteful as this.

This watch, the Braun BN0035 Stainless Steel Chronograph, is pretty close to what I imagine Ive would design if Apple made watches and although they almost certainly never will, it’s interesting to think about.
The Kissel Motor Co. was founded in 1905 in Wisconsin and specialised in luxury automobiles like the White Eagle you see pictured here.
This is another winner from the designers at Deus, they’ve teamed up with MAKR CARRY GOODS to create a rustic, no nonsense tool roll that’ll accommodate all the random spanners, wrenches and sockets that you’ve bought, borrowed, found and stolen over the past few years.
