Axes & Axles: The Art of Building Cars and Guitars

Thursday, 26. August 2010

It's all about girls, cars & loud guitars and to acknowledge the synergy between guitars a.k.a. "axes" and cars with "axles" Fender put on a kickass exhibition at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum. The exhibition, starting at September 4th 2010 and ending June 30th 2011, is part of Fender's ...

Shinya Kimura of Chabott Engineering

Monday, 28. June 2010

Great video featuring Shinya Kimura by Henrik Hansen, founder of Zero Engineering who now runs his own motorcycle chop shop Chabott Engineering. Even if you are only remotely interested in Motorcycles this is a must-watch, to better understand the divinity behind Zero and now Chaboot Engineering. There is a reason ...

Old Speed Factory

Monday, 14. June 2010

It's been a hot minute or so since I posted about a serious bike on here, mostly because I haven't really been amped on many bikes that I have come across in real life or on the net lately. All that changed when I get my daily fix from Bike ...

Harley Bobber

Thursday, 03. June 2010

It's been a minute since a bike on BikeEfix caught my eye, and whilst at first glance I wasn't stoked on this bike, mostly because of the spokes, at second glance, it's pretty bad ass. Actually, it is near perfect if you ask me. The spokes do seem to work ...

Wannabe Captain

Tuesday, 25. May 2010

I don't care if the Code-X has been designed to throw over board existing technologies to push yacht building into the future (for example, there is a solar hybrid propulsion system for environmentally friendly cruising). I don't even have a licence to steer such a thing. In fact, I get ...

Carhartt x Charge / Single x Fixed

Wednesday, 05. May 2010

Carhartt got together with the UK based bike company, Charge, to produce this beauty. Now, while I am not a bike nerd I do ride bikes regularly and enjoy doing so. Nerding out about this sort of thing isn't my cup of tea so my judgement on this project is ...

Triumph Trophy Custom

Wednesday, 24. March 2010

This bike is so damn nice that I nearly jumped off my chair this morning when I got this through my inbox. I seriously cannot find anything wrong with this Triumph and if I had the necessary loose change I would do just about anything to buy this sucker. Amazing ...

Heiwa Triumph

Friday, 05. March 2010

Another great spot over at Bike ExIf, this Japanese custom Triumph by Heiwa sure as hell got my weekend juices flowing prematurely. There is a great explanation as to why there are so many good custom shops in Japan over at the site, so when you are done day dreaming ...

Wow!!! The Hot Wheels Custom Motors Cup

Wednesday, 03. March 2010

Ok, this is by far the coolest kind of online "advertainment" I have seen in a long time. I guess it will work best if you are a car-nut or somehow have a connection to little toy-cars, but after all it's gonna be fun for everyone I think. Hit the ...

Hot Bike with Jason Jessee and Max Schaaf

Friday, 26. February 2010

If you can get your hands on it, Hot Bike, is a great motorcycle fiendish magazine out of Japan. I have a few copies flying around here and despite my inability of being able to read Japanese, the imagery is amazing. The new issue has an interesting looking feature on ...

Honda CB450 Cafe Racer

Wednesday, 17. February 2010

Once again Bike Exif delivers like a charm by digging out the beauty right here. I am very much into the feel and look of these vintage Cafe Racers, much more so ( oh the blasphemy ) of a lot of the re-worked old knuckles that are unfortunately falling into ...

Phenomal Porsche poster-art

Friday, 12. February 2010

The hardcore car-nuts over at Jalopnik.com digged the Porsche press-archive for some material on the new 911 GT3 R Hybrid, but what they unearthed instead is a superb collection of vintage Porsche poster-art. Most of these posters are usually produced in super-limited editions, offered to dealers, valued customers or racing ...

Testosterone and gasoline

Thursday, 04. February 2010

In addition to the retro-inspired Benz of Steven's posting: Head over to the "A Time To Get" blog for an exquisite selection of vintage, car-related movie-posters. It seems like not only the movies were better back then, but the artworks too.

Vans And The Places They Were by Joe Stevens

Wednesday, 27. January 2010

Over the last 13 years, photographer/film maker Joe Stevens has been roaming California documenting surviving custom and conversion vans. It's nice to see that each classic van is shot on 120mm medium format film which like the vans themselves is slowly becoming more obsolete. In fact Stevens states the goal ...

1930 Indian Four

Tuesday, 26. January 2010

An incredible find on BikeExif today, a 1930 Indian Four Cylinder. Aside from the fact that this bike is beyond amazing and a collectors dream at this point the most incredible side fact is that it is a four cylinder bike. Something quite normal these days but something way out ...
