Ducati Hypermotard Review

February 20th, 2010 Jesper 4 Comments »

The Hypermotard, is Ducati’s answers to the publics craving for motards. No motorcycle manufacturer with a fair amount of self respect doesn’t have a motard in their line up. Ducati is known for their exclusive high quality Italian motorcycles. Of course the Hypermotard is no exception. What I find most impressive is that they’ve managed to [...] Continue reading

Ducati Monster 696 Review

November 12th, 2009 Jesper 13 Comments »

The Ducati Monster 696 is a perfect example of how you can continuously improve a motorcycle model without just increasing engine size. I’ve tried a few monsters before, and although the monster has always had a high fun factor, the 696 is something special. I don’t know a first thing about what kind of rating the [...] Continue reading

Christmas holidays are getting dangerously closer. It’s time to figure out what to get the bastard who spends all his/her time in the garage wrenching on that damned two wheeled death trap. The book “House Maintenance For Dummies” you gave last year still doesn’t seem used at all does it? Well why don’t you give in [...] Continue reading

First off let’s take a brief look at the practical applications of chaps in general. One is for protection when horseback riding through brushy terrain. We’ve all seen that in cowboy movies. But also forest workers sometimes wear chaps-like protection when operating chainsaws etc. There’s likely a few more practical applications for chaps than that, [...] Continue reading

Chopperhead Vol. III is easily the best one yet. If you haven’t heard of Chopperhead here’s a brief description. If you haven’t seen the first two, here’s the deal: This series documents and pays homage to the home-builder and the underground chopper/custom motorcycle scene – the true essence of Kustom Kulture. You won’t find any network-cry [...] Continue reading

Customizing your vehicle wether it’s a two wheeler, four wheeler or even eighteen wheeler is an old and proud tradition. In fact so much that there is a specific name for the culture around customizing vehicles. The name is Kustom Kulture. Devils and Angels, by Low & Loud Productions, is a real to the bloody [...] Continue reading

Free to wander DVD review

April 8th, 2009 Jesper 3 Comments »

Underground independent motorcycle movies are popping up all over the place these days. Some might be better off as YouTube clips, and some really offers cool insights that the polished Discovery shows can’t come close to. Free to wander is a bit in both camps. The interviews with the motorcycle riders, artists and fabricators are [...] Continue reading

Grab-it pack review

September 3rd, 2008 Jesper 5 Comments »

Now here’s a nifty little gadget for carrying the essentials with you on your motorcycle. The people behind Grab-it Pack, as this baby is called, was kind enough to send me one for review. First impression out of the box was that it’s a wee bit light and flimsy in the materials. But I’ve been informed [...] Continue reading

Brittown DVD review

May 21st, 2008 Jesper 3 Comments »

Just watched Brittown the new motorcycle movie from the guys behind Chopper Town – The Sinners. Brittown follows a guy called Meatball who excels in building vintage British motorcycles like Triumph, BSA etc. The movie is loaded with paralyzing moments of cool vintage motorcycles being put to actual use. The filmmakers Scott Di Lalla and Zack [...] Continue reading

Highly Recommended: This DVD is no ordinary sequel; it’s more of an improvement on an already brilliant concept. As the guys at Choppahead put it: “If you haven’t seen volume 1, you might be asking yourself – “What the hell is this DVD series, anyhow?” Well, take a chopper documentary, an old skateboard video and an [...] Continue reading
