Europe’s largest custom motorcycle show was this weekend in Bad Salzuflen in Germany. I was there with the People from Dickies doing my pinstriping thing and shooting all the wicked custom motorcycles to share with you. There where so many bikes there it was crazy. So I’m going to split the photos up into different themed [...] Keep reading

Check out this movie trailer for a movie about an Indian Motorcycle Meet in Scotland. Looks pretty cool. Those old Indians are damn nice. I’ll try and see if I can get my hand on a review copy and let you guys now if it’s any good.  Keep reading

Ducati Monster 696 Review

November 12th, 2009 Jesper 17 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 [...] Keep 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 [...] Keep reading

The blog gets more popular day by day, and today the number of subscribers reached 2500. Seems that the rule of thumb to only post things I’d find interesting to read my self, is a pretty good strategy. I would very much like to extend my deepest gratitude to all of you who read the blog [...] Keep reading

Buell closed for good

October 16th, 2009 Jesper 29 Comments »

Harley Davidson has decided to close down the production of Buell motorcycles. Here’s the official message from Erik Buell. I was never a huge fan of Buell motorcycles. But I certainly acknowledge the impact they’ve had through the years. For me Buell was always the company that would put out some truly new and innovative motorcycles. [...] Keep reading

Spent two entire days motorcycle riding in south of france only interrupted by lunch breaks and and the occasional stop for scenic photos. I left France with a renewed passion for riding more sport oriented motorcycles. But then I got thinking about how flat the Danish country side is and how far between good spots [...] Keep reading

We all know Cannes, France, for it’s wealthy tourists and million dollar yachts that we’ve seen in the media during the film festival. But what about the motorcycle riders? Do they ride gold plated MV Agustas and Gucci themed choppers? I set out in downtown Cannes to find out. There’s a road along side beach all [...] Keep reading

Do you want a couple of days in Southern France riding the latest Ducati motorcycles? Then you should probably check out Columbus International. In a couple of days I’ll be heading to Cannes to learn more about these guys, and take a couple of their motorcycles for a spin. Stay tuned, and if you come up [...] Keep 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, [...] Keep reading

Salt flats racing has always fascinated me. As I’ve said before, trying to beat some sort of record on the Bonneville Salt Flats is on my checklist of things I’d like to do before I leave this mud ball. Recently I ran into a Dane who is way ahead of me, and is actually doing something [...] Keep reading

Very unusual custom bike

August 24th, 2009 Jesper 13 Comments »

This bike is awesome. So many brilliantly weird details and it’s powered by a Yamaha engine. Click the image to see more photos of it on Flickr. I totally dig it when people go against the stream like that. Would still have been cool with an older Harley engine, but that fact that it’s an [...] Keep reading

Every country have a trend in motorcycles depending on various factors. In Denmark you see a lot of less expensive bikes like the 600cc Suzuki Bandit because taxes are insane and it’s a pretty deasent bike that has a lot of after market parts available. In Germany you obviously see a lot of BMW’s. In [...] Keep reading

Right on Alexanderplatz in Berlin lies the Berlin Motorcycle Museum. Judging by the amount of billboards and gimmicks that lead you to the museum you might expect something larger. I had half an hour to go through the exhibits and reached the end after ten minutes. But having realized that I probably wasn’t going to [...] Keep reading
