Cafe Racer & The City was directed and filmed by the talented Alexander Khudokon in 2011, I have a soft spot for well made videos like this although I always feel like they just need a script in order to be made into a feature film.
Hugh Ferriss is one of those people whose work we’re all familiar with but whose name most of us don’t know.
There aren’t many cars in the world more famous than the Ford GT40, the car pictured here is a Ford GT40 Series I which is one of only 31 road cars made. This is chassis P/1059 and it’s generally recognised as being the lowest mileage Series I in the world having covered just 4,749 miles from new, not surprisingly it has a 7 figure value currently estimated at between $2,300,000 – $2,700,000 USD.
Bristol is possibly the most British of the British marques, the company is almost certainly the most eccentric car maker in the world and despite this, or maybe because of it, they were in business from 1945 until 2011.
Motorcycle advertising has changed a huge amount since the ’70s and ’80s. It used to be Girl-Bike-Logo and motorcycle sales were booming, in more recent times it’s become more technical and motorcycle sales have waned, I may be drawing an overly simplistic correlation-causation line in the sand here but I vote that we go back to the ads like this one.
Mickey Rourke’s bike is just about as interesting as you might expect, Mickey Rourke himself seems to have been around forever, he exploded back onto the scene recently with a breakaway performance…
Honda CX500 cafe racer conversions are becoming more and more popular, the unusual, shaft-drive bike’s from Honda never really saw huge commercial success when they were first released so it’s nice to see them having a renaissance of sorts in the modern day.
The Woodman’s Pal Military Machete is one of those tools men like to own for no good reason, it just seems important that we have it in the tool collection.
No matter what you happen to look like, never let anyone tell you you shouldn’t be riding a motorcycle and smiling.
I’m always genuinely impressed with people who take matters into their own hands, and create something remarkable. Evan Lane is a professional photographer based in California who realised that it was nigh on impossible to find a camera bag that both looked good and took care of your gear.
The Kawasaki W650 is one of the best modern foundations for a flat track style motorcycle, the engine is staggeringly reliable, the frame is solid, the stock suspension can take a beating and it can be turned into a flat tracker with relatively minimal effort.
Max Huber was one of the most iconic graphic designers of the 20th century, I’ve always been particularly fascinated with his automotive work.
