DAILY INSPIRATION: Bandit9 Eve X Konstantin Kofta Fashion

/
Bandit9's custom Honda Cub, EVE, was recently part of a collaboration with Ukrainian fashion designer Konstantin Kofta. Kofta used the EVE's directional and geometric form to help accentuate the release of his bag design, part of the 2015 Inertia line. The shoot is very much about playing with the orientation of forms and the overall composition rather then the bike itself, but I can still appreciate it for just that reason.

EVENT: Mama Tried Show - 2015 Milwaukee

/
Hey Midwest folk, be sure to check out the Mama Tried Show in Milwaukee. It's only a few weeks away and the lineup is looking stacked. It was a blast last year so I have no doubt this year will be even better. Be sure to check out Daniel Peter's Honda XR650 while you're there! It's been one of the most popular bikes ever feature on this blog and rightly so. You can check it out here, but it's even better in person. 



DAILY INSPIRATION.

/
Had some fun with the new Ducat Scrambler this past weekend on a shoot for Iron & Air. The next issue will feature the 2015 Scrambler, an original 1968 Scrambler and Analog Motorcycle's newest build ...which, yes, is also a custom Scrambler. Have I said the word enough yet? Does it still have any meaning?



I only got to take the new Scrambler around the block a couple times in wet 28 degree weather so it's difficult to give a proper review of the bike. I can however tell you that the thing is PUNCHY. Very punchy. And also that there's no traction control :) The bike's got great power and is pretty accomodating for a wide range of rider sizes. I'm 6'3" so the leg area was a bit cramped. I'd be willing to make some sacrifices to make it work though ...namely to the subframe.
