A Triumph Cafe Racer Top 10 is not something you write overnight. Triumph has a long heritage when it comes to cafe racers and the brand is a well-known name since the cafe racer scene emerged in the mid-50s of last century. The early-day Bonneville’s where often used as a base [...]

You may recall a similar looking bike built by Industrial Moto late last summer. We featured it in 2017. Someone liked it so much they wanted one for themselves and commissioned Industrial Moto to build another one. While this version is based on the original Project Scout concept, it incorporated a [...]

‘Bigfoot in Florida’ There are many legends that stem from this part of the United States. The presence of impenetrable swamps is a dominant factor in numerous sightings of ‘Florida swamp monsters’ such as the larger than life Big Foot. The latter must undoubtedly be quite a source of inspiration to [...]

About a year ago I’ve featured this amazing Ducati 900ss built by the Belgium crew of Deep Creek Cycleworks. At that time they were still “all about second chances”, focussing on their passion to turn old bikes back into something rideable and desirable. But with their latest build, they’ve made an [...]

If you like it or not; the electric motorcycle is slowly taking its place in the world. Of course, if you ask me, there is nothing better dan the smell of gasoline and oil. Or the sound when you open up the throttle which gives you pretty BRAAAP! But we can [...]

The Dutch custom motorcycle scene is growing and growing. On every event, you see new faces and new builders. This machine here is from a new talent in town and goes by the name of Timmer Motorcycles, owned by Maarten Timmer. Maarten has a degree in industrial design and works as [...]

With our small series of Custom Crafts, we’ve broadened our view of the custom motorcycle scene by interviewing the artists behind the bikes. In the past we’ve done some shop visits, but this never really led to serious articles. With our ever growing audience and some extra hands (called Ron), we [...]

The unstoppable Pepo Rosell, a.k.a. XTR Pepo is the most featured builder out here and just as expected, he delivered another amazing bike this month. While Pepo has a long heritage with Ducati, he’s never afraid to pick something different. This time he took a 2001 Honda Hornet and gave it the [...]

The Honda CX500 remains of those base bikes that keeps builders inspired. During the last three years, I’ve featured dozens of them. To be honest, in my opinion, there is one bike standing out for me, and that is still Sacha Lakic’s version. Nevertheless, this is a seriously costly machine. But [...]

I don’t think there’s a bike that has been featured twice on the same website. On any custom motorcycle website (correct me if I’m wrong). When the owner of this bike submitted it, I didn’t recognize it in the first place. But after a second look (and a little hint of [...]

I can’t help it, but we got a submission of another awesome Yamaha Virago. And just like Bal Deo’s Virago I’ve posted last week, it’s an XV750. It’s not on purpose, it’s just how they roll in. This bike is built by Oran, owner of Buriam Siammotor, a motorcycle dealer in Buriram. This mid-sized [...]

Earthbound The Dutch are quite well known for their levelheadedness and their no-nonsense approach when it comes to business. In their communication, they might sometimes a bit too direct, but they mean well. This trait particularly applies to fellow countrymen from the Eastern part of the Netherlands. They often look at [...]
