So I have spent the past couple of weeks in the US on business, today was the final day of my trip. I found myself with 8 hours to kill in LA while waiting for my flight back to Australia. I decided to rent a car and go visit a couple of bike shops…the day started out well when I got an upgrade at the rental company to a Mustang! First stop was at …continue…

Got some cash burning a hole in your pocket? Feel like a trip to Vegas? Instead of blowing all your hard eared on the poker table why not get stuck into some bidding at the Bonham’s Motorcycle Auction. I always like browsing the listings for these big auctions as its almost guaranteed that there will be some pretty special bikes going under the hammer. Here are a few that I’d like to have in my collection…. 1970 BSA …continue…
Doug from Muchomoto is a super talented illustrator who produces some really cool sketches. I have been a fan of his work for a while so I thought I’d see what he could come up with for a sketch of my bike, here is the result. I love it, thanks Doug!
So its been a few weeks and the dust has settled on the first Oil Stained Brain show, it was a huge success and the organisers are already making plans for the 2013 show. The official photos have just been released, great shots by Shannon Djordjevic from Flake Kustom Photography and Lisa Feagan.
I can’t say that I have ever featured a music video on this site before but today I am. This video is quite special, instead of a music video that features a few cool motorcycles, this song was written and composed specifically to record the events of a pretty incredible motorcycle adventure. The journey was named “Transpyrenäica”, 4 highly modified modern triumph scramblers were ridden 1300km across the Pyrenees from …continue…
Despite the fact that this is essentially a 30min advertisement for Icon’s latest range of riding gear it is a great short movie. Two stunters thrash a pair of Triumph Tiger 800XC’s in every type of terrain imaginable, the riding is awesome as is the cinematography. Turn off what ever crap TV you may be watching and give this video a try. If you like this video you should check …continue…

The Gyronaut X1 is a pretty special motorcycle, the …continue…
I have been reading about the Sydney Cafe Racers for a little while now on their blog, seems like a great group and I must admit that I was a bit jealous that we didn’t have something similar here in my home town of Melbourne. It turns out I am not the only one to think like this and recently Mark from SCR launched a Melbourne chapter of the club – the …continue…
Following on from yesterdays post comes this video…pure awesomeness!
