Petrolhead Lifestyle

Set in a great place, Tobacco Dock in the center of London, featuring more than 300 custom bikes from ‘Past, Present and Future’. An abundance of bikes, ranging from pre-war, to choppers, bobbers, caféracers, retro-bikes, but also enduros and quite a few electric bikes. Loads of fun from the Friday evening to the closure on Sunday afternoon; plenty to do, gawking at bikes sure, but also entertainment – live music, presentations, panel discussions plus food and drinks galore.

The saga continues We wrote about Danny Schneider's first build for Indian Motorcycle back in July 2021. The then new partnership between the man behind Hardnine Choppers and Indian Motorcycle was launched with a custom built 1931 Scout.

We gave the surprise away a bit in recent posts on our social channels, but this bike is definitely worth a bit more spotlight.

Once again, proving my oft quipped “Motorcycling is the best way to meet people, wherever you may find yourself in the world”, rings true again. It’s been a little over one year since we arrived back here in Brasilia, and this is how my arrival has unfolded. While being dragged around […]

We’ve been reporting a lot on Royal Enfield lately and that’s not a coincidence. The Indian manufacturer has kept the talks around the coffee corner fuelled for quite some time now.

Superlative To top off three consecutive weeks of riding big (or should I say GIANT?) bikes I was offered the opportunity to test the 2021 Triumph Rocket 3R for a full seven days. And what a week it turned out to be! The prelude to this week was composed by the […]

Dressed to stay alive We all have our preferences when it comes to dressing up for a ride. What you wear depends on a variety of parameters dictating the outcome. ‘Full on’ motorcycle gear will serve the best protection against weather conditions and when gravitational forces cause you to involuntarily part […]

Boutique Manufacturer Los Angeles-based ARCH Motorcycle describe themselves as a ’boutique manufacturer’. We would rather describe them as cool dudes that create magnificent bikes. Co-founded by Gard Hollinger and Keanu Reeves, they produce bespoke production motorcycles in their state-of-the-art, Los Angeles area factory. They are smart about the way they go […]

Introduction With this first post we introduce our new correspondent on the West Coast. Yes, it is another Dutchman who has decided to explore the world beyond the dikes surrounding the Netherlands. A little while ago we presented Daan Staffhorst, who is residing on the East Coast, with a first report […]

Gotta catch them all! ‘Tis the season to be merry. It is nearly Christmas and Triumph Motorcycles have decided to convince us that we need to add another present to our wish list. To the very top of that list that is. It was a present that has been long awaited […]

Historic discovery BikeBrewers are known for their preference of bikes that have been stripped to the bone and build from the ground up into new works of art. We get excited when builders light up their torches and switch on their grinders to send sparks flying in their workshops. In this […]

New ‘kid’ in town We are very proud of the constant growth of the BikeBrewers team. Recently we published the first part of the report from our NYC based correspondent Daan Stafhorst on his trip to Alaska. To keep things in balance we wanted someone to share his adventures based in […]

Secret fantasies Those who know me a bit are familiar with my fondness for iconic British motorcycle brands. In spite of being an avid Triumph rider for many years many friends will also recognize my catchphrase: “I may be married to Triumph, but Norton is my mistress”. Until now my life […]

Skyrocketed to top position After the crowning of the Meteor 350 to MCN “2021 – Retro Bike of Year”, Ironwood Motorcycles, have launched “The Starship Meteor” – a custom version of the affordable urban cruiser. Earlier this year BikeBrewers had a fun day on this bike when it was introduced. Read […]

How to have fun with two bottles of Coke This must be the strangest opening I have ever used to start a review of a motorcycle. Nevertheless the first picture that popped into my head when I fired up the massive engine of the BMW R18 Transcontinental, was of me holding […]

Not only do motorcycle manufacturers and motorcycle-gear producers find their way to us, but since we’ve made our content available in over 15 languages, our reach has also expanded significantly. Although we are based in Europe, […]
