One Car to Do It All, Porsche 911 RSR

2013-05-27T18:31:00.002+02:00

Is there anything nicer than a porsche 911? I don't think so ... I love this car, and I think everyone's dream is ... And what do you think about the garage? wooow! Enjoy with this nice video, and with this beautifully purposeful car!

Classic car owners deliberate whether to use their cars as daily drivers or keep them as garage queens. Why can't one car be everything? Black Beauty, Jack Olsen's Porsche 911 RSR, gets the royal treatment in The 12-Gauge Garage, but it also proudly wears rubber on the street and the track.
Jack built an enviable shop out of a suburban, two-car garage and worked on it until its engineering, design, and function matched that of the Black Beauty, a Porsche through and through.

SHINYA KIMURA - "Motorcycle Mechanic"

2013-05-27T10:49:00.004+02:00

"In his own words, Shinya Kimura is a motorcycle mechanic. To the rest of the world, Shinya is an artist, building kinetic sculptures that are and very labor intensive, one-of-a-kind, and ultimately utilitarian. Raised in Tokyo, he moved to LA about a decade ago to actually escape his growing fame and to quietly go on with his life as a mechanic. Acclaim has annoyingly still followed him. His bikes are tough, perfectly made machines that are thrilling to ride. In this film, Danielle explores briefly why motorcycles and what makes the work compelling for Shinya, and the feeling he gets while riding. The film is a supplement to the third issue of On Paper Magazine." Enjoy!

Honda CB Superstrada by Classified Moto

2013-05-08T09:55:00.001+02:00

Honda Cb 750F made it by John Ryland of Classified Moto. From the beginning I've always admired this man! its style, its pure lines, the combination of classic and modern ... and robust and powerful style freak me! Starting off with an '80 CB750F, the actual Superstrada received a whole new front end, sourced from an YZF-R6, including wheel, fork, and controls. The rear comes from a Ducati 1098: the whole swingarm replaced the stock unit, and the massive Showa monoshock now shines menacing in the huge negative space under the new custom subframe. Love this 4-1 exhaust with the typical Ryland's cut!

New R80 S trial by Fuel Bespoke, Barcelona

2013-04-27T12:08:00.000+02:00

This is the new creation of Fuel Bespoke Motorcycles based on a BMW R80 ST 1984.

A motorcycle inspired on bikes like Triumph, BSA or Penton of the 60’s that used to ride the International Six Days Trials. Light bikes with small headlights, flat handlebars, minimalist seat and off road tires, motorcycles that were capable of riding trails and woods for days.

"In this bike, commissioned by a classic bike enthusiast living in the Austrian Alps, we have been working not only on aesthetics but also improve its performance.
The front fork is from a BMW K75 Sport which has been adapted by designing and machining the front axle and the triple trees. The brake section has also been improved with a 320mm oversize disc, a 4-piston caliper Brembo and Nissin master cylinder. The entire front disc and displacer caliper has been designed by Fuel and built by a specialist.
The rear has been entrusted to a Wilbers shock with multiple adjustments. We have also worked on the exhaust and collectors for a set of 2 plus 2 exhaust manifolds (originally the R80 carries a 2 collectors with a single exhaust) and also varying the angle of the mufflers to take higher and improve their height the ground.
All the subframe is constructed again to get a slimmer line, shorten and strengthen the bike for off road use.
In the front of the bike we got a headlight from a classic spanish trial bike, the headlight bracket has been created and built for a “clean” look of the fork, high performance Motogadget speedometer, handlebar Tomaselli, indicators switches from an old Triumph, classic enduro grips and a car type starter motor relocated to the side of the bike.
On one side of the Kawasaki tank we have incorporated a gearshift from an old Ural (suicide shift) and thanks to an ingeniously and simple mechanism acts on the choke,when you push down the handle the choke gets open, a “divertimento” which, aesthetically, gives personality to the bike.
There have been five months of hard work that has enabled us to make a step further and keep learning and improving our buildings."

Wheels & Waves II x Loser Machine

2013-04-16T21:42:00.001+02:00

In Europe, the winter can seem unending, the time of year when we are consigned to dwell interminably in our garages, neon lights may be bright but they can never truly replicate sunlight... But there is a cure, we have been planning an end of winter trip to the Basque country since last summer with our friend Fede at Loser Machine and Bixente, a ride for a Wheels and Waves 2013 reunion. A band of brothers, 20 in all. However with the unpredictable seasonal conditions we are taking a gamble, but still we have ploughed through all conditions before and shall do again. The ride is a total of 240km, and we are planning it for June, so it should be perfect riding : A combination of beautiful nature and a rare countryside found in these traditional lands, far from the polluted towns and cities that so many of us are forced to call home. Mountains are found in abundance as are the twists on the long empty stretches of road, which are themselves much like racing circuits, in short, a dreamlike wonderland. Anybody who loves bikes will get that longed for Endorphin rush and a heavenly bike connection. Southsiders Mc (southsiders-mc.blogspot.fr/)

Further II

2013-03-15T09:56:00.000+01:00

Edwin and Kingdom of Kicks share a similar approach to life, both constantly looking to push the boundaries of their perennial products. Together they tell a story of friendship and respect for the simplicity of their respective crafts, embarking on a journey that takes them from London to Biarritz to take part in the Wheels & Waves event. Riding personally customised bikes with a couple of old tents thrown in, no map, a healthy dose of rain, old skateboards and knackered out surf boards, Nico's famous catapult, and eyes for mischief and adventure, the marauding members of the ‘FURTHER’ crew celebrate the best of times putting their product to the test. edwin-europe.com kingdomofkicks.co.uk wheels-and-waves.com

Harley Knucklehead by Rough Crafts & Zero Engineering

2013-03-05T10:51:00.001+01:00

The Taiwan-based guys at Rough Crafts have recently come up with a stunning project based on an S&S Harley Knucklehead engine, which has been fitted a tuning kit from Zero Engineering, the creators of the famous Samurai Chopper.

This bike eludes some rather gothic appearance, with what seem to be Victorian accents. Winston Yeh of the Taiwan-based brand is an enthusiastic lover of Zero, as he describes: “The Zero Style created by Mr. Shinya Kimura has always been amazing to us. When we finally got our hands on a Zero kit, we decided to build a bike that was inspired by Shinya’s creations, yet still has that Rough Crafts flavor.”
The frame of this magnificent bike is a Type 6 from Zero, and has been garnished with all sorts of parts from the same manufacturer like a seat and springer forks.

Aside from these, the most components of this bike have been done by Rough Crafts though, describing the exquisite manufacture which Yeh is able to boast with: “When you’ve got this great canvas to work with, you just want to add more and more details. Like custom foot controls, and weld-on hand controls with a remote hydraulic master cylinder.”

Initially, the guys at Rough Crafts wanted to fit the bike with an exposed battery, but Yeh came up with a rather interesting box which could house a smaller and much more efficient Lithium-Ion battery and the master cylinder. Mr. Yeh has later added that the bike’s design aesthetics resembles the brand’s earlier Brass Racer, with black, brass and neo-vintage touches.
