Last week I’ve featured an incredible Moto Guzzi Griso Tracker which was a one of the finalists in Moto Guzzi’s “Lord of the Bikes”; a custom motorcycle battle. The Tracker was a winner in the 3rd round and here I have another one I’d really like to share with you. It’s actually [...]

Ever heard of CCM Motorcycles? Chances are that you didn’t. Let me start with a brief history of the brand: CCM, short for Clews Competition Machines, was founded in 1971 by Alan Clews. Alan was a successful trails and cross rider in the 60s and raced mainly BSA machines. But when [...]

VTR Customs is the in-house custom department of the official BMW dealer Stucki 2 Rad in Schmerikon, Switzerland. This independent custom shop specializes mainly in BMW conversions. No wonder that VTR Customs selected a current motorcycle from the range of models by the Bavarian manufacturer for participation in Essenza Sprints (check [...]

While 100% electric vehicles are slowly adopted around the globe it’s only a matter of time before the EV-bike is embraced in our motorcycle culture.  The largest EV-bike manufacturer is probably ZERO motorcycles, but smaller initiatives are emerging.

The Honda CM-series may not be as familiar and legendary as the CB-series, but the Honda CM450 still is an interesting machine. The first bike in the CM-series was launched in 1979 and had a 395cc twin cylinder engine, which had a lot of similarities with the CB400T. But instead of [...]

With two bikes from The Netherlands in such a short period it may be too early to call March “the month of the Dutch” but it sure is cool to see that the Holland is well represented this month. The bike you see here is built by Eelco in ‘t Zand, owner [...]

If you’re a motorcycle brand without a custom motorcycle battle, you don’t fit in anymore. The last couple of years, several brands had their own battle: we’ve had the Custom Rumble from Ducati, Project Scout from Indian and Operation Octane from Victory Motorcycles. Moto Guzzi started in 2016 with “Lord of Bikes” [...]

With every bike from XTR Pepo I can start with a story about how amazing his work is, that he’s a true legend and a master builder. Just like this time ;). Pepo is simply one of the best custom bike builders out there. Most of his latest builds are bikes inspired [...]

If you’ve ever been to the far east you’ve probably mentioned that a lot of people are using scooters, mopeds and small motorcycles to move around in the city. Intersections are extremely crowded with small two-wheelers and the constant smell of exhaust gasses is pretty much seen as normal. Fanatics like me always [...]

We all dream of a scenario to turn one of our hobby(‘s) into a business or job. What is better than paying your mortgage by doing what you love? For a lot of us it will remain a dream, but not for Arjan van den Boom, the owner of Ironwood Customs [...]

Nigel Fox is one of those guys with a skill set to die for. Together with his dad he worked with motorized wheels his entire life as a hobby. Usual he works with four-wheelers but he got his hands on this 1986 Kawasaki KZ440 he bought from a friend who lost his [...]

You like it or you don’t like it, but I always like to see small-sized motorcycles being customized. Maybe this is because it makes me think of the early days when I rode mopeds and scooters. The guys from Frenchmonkeys Design are not afraid to work on these smaller machines and between [...]
