It has been an ambition of mine to build a Cafe Racer for quite some time. I am following Instagram posts, searching for inspiration on YouTube and so on. Anyone who has built a cafe racer / bobber or is thinking of building one will know, the price of a typical donor bike has rocketed in recent years. As I'm not planning to spend a fortune on the project the price of all parts and work needed will be an important factor. So I've been keeping an eye on local ads and asking bi

Colin Robin and Jon Skillet met in 1973 and started their sprint experiences on an old Triumph 650 which Jon had supercharged. However, Jon saw a twin-engine BSA sprint bike in a magazine and suggested to Colin that they could come up with something similar. So they acquired some bits and pieces of other bikes and began the build. The Obliterator on a good day Jon had previously owned, then sold, a BSA Spitfire but it got wrecked and he managed to get parts from this bike.

This short movie celebrates our enduring and timeless passion for motorcycles. The attraction in this story is not limited to two-wheeled machines. If you are a biker you will surely understand. It features young Triumph owners and their friends and although this is a fictional story it sets out to capture the lasting enthusiasm for these British icons.

He said they were just as excited about the ride as they were about Sturgis. Her

Together with his associates, he established the auto-motor club "Bieriņi". More than 50 years ago, the club hosted one of the world's first motorcyclist, moped and scooter races on runways and highways.

Slow Ramble and Faster Than My Mind may sound like an antonym but in fact there are strong similarities. As I discovered through a chance meeting with Tomasz Sowiński (Tomek) whilst riding through Poland. I came across a group of bikers who were travelling on Russian DNEPR military sidecar combinations. I was curious to find out more and I soon discovered that the bikes are owned by Tomek who recently started the business he calls "Slow Ramble". On this particular trip three

[Josh Sirlin] Race of Gentlemen is a celebration of our American history in the best way. I am drawn to TROG by everything it invokes: my love for America, Harley Davidson, speed, machines, racing, building, charging, team work, reflecting on history, and doing things that have a meaning. I decided I had to participate in this event. I didn’t know how I would do it, I didn’t have the right bike, I didn’t have anything I needed. I’ve been in this situation before when I wanted

Recognised by many as the best in the world the Royal Signals Motorcycle Display Team has been performing for over 80 years. We had the pleasure to watch their performance at Abbey Hill Steam Rally 2017 and unfortunately it's their last year of existence. The reason for disbanding the team as mentioned online is that “It looks old fashioned”.
