Scarry Dream
This reoccurring child-hood dream of a chopper with a purple fringed awning suddenly came to life this evening. I was reading to my kids from my favorite bedtime book I unearthed in my old bedroom at my Mum's house; Richard Scarry 'Cars And Trucks And Things That Go' (1974). There it was, as mad as any Bosozoku bike that made the trip into reality. And I wondered if my own kids would start their own animal bike gang in their tiny minds instead of counting sheep? BP
New Lewis Leathers store
Seen on the Mode By Rockers blog (that I'm pretty sure is Hiroyuki, Lewis's pattern cutter's blog). I want to call by next time I'm in London.
Lewis Leathers Ltd
3-5 Whitfield Street,
Fitzrovia,
London
W1T 2SA
They're making these good-looking Eric Morecambe-style Lewis Leather Effector glasses too, that I saw on Mark's Eley Kishimoto blog.

Bunker Spreckels
Just bought this book. I'm not a surfer, never have been (there aren't many breakers in Leeds), so I wasn't bothered about the lack of surf info. But there are great images and stories of one of those fascinating/doomed rich, young men.
The main reason for this post is to point you to this clip. It's great. GI
Vegas: Less than a week to go
I'm getting excited. I'll be the (only) one in the brown brogues. Come say hello. Chopper Dave and Jeff from Church of Choppers are going too. Maybe Jason from By Hand By Brain too.GI

Michele and Giovanni's Christmas adventure
What was I saying about loving people who prove you don't need the 'perfect' bike for every occasion. This is Michele Lupi and Giovanni Bussei out on their bikes just before Christmas. Michele, editor of GQ Italy, is the one with some common sense. Giovanni is the one with the horse chestnut for a brain and Harley XR1000 keys in his frozen hand.
Read about when Michele and Giovanni went riding in the snow with Valentino Rossi in Sideburn 4. Written by Rossi himself. G
