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 27 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

If you watch one film today, this has to be the one. It’s converted from real 8mm recorded in 1970 of a dirt bike event at Carlsbad Raceway in Carlsbad, CA. The film is bound to make you in a good mood. They just had lots of fun back then. Notice the riding gear and [...] Keep 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 [...] Keep reading

I saw this crazy custom Panhead last weekend. It’s still in the swing arm frame, which is a rare sight on custom bikes these days. It’s a good example of how you can build something relatively extreme but still rideable. Here’s a few photos of some of the sweet details on this bike.  Keep reading

Diesel has designed a new helmet in cooperation with AGV. It would look pretty sleek along with a Buel or Triumph Speed Triple. But I think they intend to market it towards the scooter crowd. Because here’s what they say about it: You’re a hotshot – you’re a maverick renegade, speeding through life to hell and [...] Keep reading

The award-winning guys behind the movies Choppertown and Brittown just released a teaser for their coming film The Harbortown Bobber. Looks like yet another masterpiece.  Keep reading
