Where to?

Tom B sent us this

Not sure if you know these guys, a couple of adventure riders scooting about in South America, but spotted what looks like your "Get thee behindme" logo at 50 sec in.  
All the best, Tom

We do know one of them for sure, Martin from Sweden, living in Japan, exploring South America, from the great Time You Enjoy Wasting... blog. There's also another Sideburn sticker on the bike's fairing right at the end of this great clip - what looks, appropriately, like Sandy. I'm pretty sure this short, mainly GoPro footage film will inspire a lot of daydreams. G

Mexican Graphics

Adding to the selection of heavy weight hard-backs we've already stocked from Korero is this cracker Mexican Graphics. 256 pages of mustachioed skeletons, wrestling he-men and carnivorous pin-ups. Apart from the obvious Mexican influences, the breadth of styles from colourful computer based hard edge, to freer painterly artists, makes this book a proper five course feast. The 40 contributing artists, including Dr Lakra, Dr Alderete, Sergio Mora, Palehorse and Pooch, come from Mexico and beyond. BP

From Argentina

Hi people, this is the preview of my latest bike that i´ve been building during this week, it´s a 1976 Suzuki 425cc and only has 3800km in her speedo!!!!! I hope that I like you ,it´s a very "East" inspired and "BLINGS" like Bill Dodge's beautys. Well, I hope that I was able to send U the progress in a few weeks,and also I send the pictures of the CB 125cc that I built 4 months ago,It´s been showed at knucklebuster inc,wrench monkees,church of choppers and biltwell,so I think that it's deserved some atention.
Well,thanks for your time.

Emilio Scoto

Madder than trying to get an XR1200 airbourne. Emilio Scotto chose a Gold Wing to travel around the world, visiting 279 countries (I guess that must be most of them). The 500,000 miles only took him 10 years. This book looks like something you would find in the bargain bin in Woolworths (I got it as a birthday present from my brother, so it probably was), but its worthy. He makes Messrs McGregor and Boorman look like mollycoddled twats. A perfect turkey abuse come-down. Be humbled. Be inspired.
