Ring of Fire

To all the Melbournites (I'm talking to you Punk), be sure to get on your bike (MTB, roady, 10 speed, fix, BMX, unicycle, penny-farthing) and join Sasha for the Pony Bikes supported Ring of Fire alleycat on Saturday night.
I had intended to race/ride this as I'll be over for polo the following weekend but my ride over was rescheduled, majorly disappointed I assure you!
Great poster work as always by Double Oh Two

Roasting

...in November! Really?!

Contained Inspiration.

One of my favourite blogs is without a doubt Le Container, for some reason I was prompted to put up a pretty random selection of images stolen from them.


Great idea but looks like it could be a little painful.




There is even video of it happening!






As a rule tyres should be black, but this works for me.

Deus V-Twin Cafe

Those lads with the magic touch over at Deus have done it again, this time with a late HD base. So many aspects of this bike are just spot on like the front guard, lights, bars, and the air cleaner is a perfect example of using what it there, just adding some minor touches and coming out way in front.



It's a pity about the rear though, it just needs more of an arse! I'm the last guy around that will be talking about building to the "rules" of a catagory as a positive thing, but in this case a traditional "cafe" tail, or a longer seat, more of the guard, hell, even just mounting the number plate of the end would have helped it. Still, it shows that you don't need to get too extravagant to build something very impressive!

Death Race Corvette

The Van post brought the Death Race 2000 Covette to light, it's just too good not to share.

Andreas Jakwerth Photography

Not sure if it's purely down to the skills of a brilliant photographer, or the eye of someone seeing such foreign sights, but I got linked onto Andreas Jakwerth's photography site via Fyxomatosis and was just amazed at the photos on there. They really capture the beauty of the locations.
