Sitting Pretty
After two weeks of waiting a huge, much anticipated box turned up at the office filled with two little bundles of joy from Diopa in Germany: Imola seat units for me and Ian H, and our totally spoiled ...
Flipped-out Bubble
This clever attachment for your jet-style lid is no nightmare in a bubble car, (thanks Charlie), it’s actually heaven in a bubble visor, so with this you can finally flip your bubble up like a normal lid. ...
Best Kept Secret
Our good friend Grant sent us these great shots of “The Battle of the Trees” race series. Although not the biggest course in the world, the racing is fast and frantic.. Check out his site, grantrobinson.com for ...
In the genes?
I just received an email from my dad with pics I’ve been hunting for ever since I got a glimpse of them at a family get together. Not the kinda thing to normally prompt a post on ...
Duc vs Duke vs Duc
I had planned to post a couple of new blogs this weekend, but the untimely death of the brilliant rising star, Marco Simonceli, at this weekend’s MotoGP in Sepang totally robbed me of the will to write ...

S7 Ecosse
Introducing our next project, another XS750 custom codenamed S7 Ecosse – so called because ‘Mr D’, the customer, is from Edinburgh, plus it’s a gentle nod to the wonderful Ecurie Ecosse racing team which we’ve long adored ...

We’d all love to drop into Deus, Roland Sands, SOS or Untitled and have them build us a stunning, one-off, bespoke motorcycle according to the bike of our dreams, but most of us either can’t afford it ...
Kick Starter…
I guess what seperates bike-riders from bikers, is that bikers ride out of passion. Riding is a lifestyle choice not a mode of transport. Two-wheels defines us, and what we ride is a reflection of who we ...
Apres Photo
It’s nearly 30c in October. In England. Mad. There’s only one way to cool down and that’s to act like you’re 14 again and rip around the fields on a little 125. This is our mate Gareth ...
