SHORT FILM: brakeless x zombiecorp
/Bobbers, tattoos, BMX, vintage cars, and girl rockers.
Canadians are cool too.

ART&DESIGN: concept sketches from school
/Here are some great thumbnails and concept renderings from a couple good friends I went to school with. We all studied at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and were part of the motorcycle design studio our senior year. The designers behind these sketches were Ian Galvin and Craig Mackiewicz
I still love these and they're 3 years old now.
DAILY INSPIRATION: machine's lemans @ deus
/Deus ex Machina's V-Twin Festival went down recently.
Of the attendees was this Moto-Guzzi LeMans, built by Machine - a shop out of Australia.
For the full set of entrants, check out Deus' flickr album.
PROJECT CX: 90%
/Sorry to my mom, and the few close friends that follow this blog, for the lack of posts lately.
I've been very busy buttoning up the CX and getting her ready for the Ton Up Chicago: Mods vs. Rockers show next weekend. I've also been busy riding her around any spare chance I get.
Today it's raining, thus, you get an update.
She's at about 90% right now. Still working on the front fender, tail light wiring, and a bunch of other odds and ends. I will say though, she's an absolute blast to ride...even if it's just stop sign to stop sign, in this thrill-robbing-planned-grid of a city lay out.
Only one shot for now. When she's all buttoned up I'll do a full shoot and write up.

FOLLOW UP: the copper xs650
/A short while ago I posted some photos of a copper and brown XS650 I came across.
Pipeburn has just hosted a feature of the bike today, with a full write up on it's background and the builder, Scott Halbleib. Here

PROJECT CX: honda hover500
/Yet another crappy cell-phone pic of Project CX. ...I really need to get a big boy camera.
The wheels come back from powder coating tonight. She's having some idle issues that still need to be worked out, but if the stars align, she'll be in running order in a week or so.
Fingers crossed.
It's getting damn hot out in Chicago, and I'd like to get some riding in before it's heat-stroke-season.
As you can see I went with a warm dark graphite metallic, after all those hours spent color tweaking in Photoshop.
DAILY INSPIRATION: more from an-bu
/I also came across this XS250SP while scouring the An-Bu website, and just couldn't not post it. Really loving this Japanese treatment.
Check out the previous post if you're more into cafe's...because they do those too. Quite well.
