Drifting
Though it doesn't have much to do with cafe racers, this is a pretty impressive video, demonstrating insane control on a motorbike. Regardless of what you ride, you have to appreciate his ability to make that bike his bitch. Looks like a damn good time to boot!

BMW Cafes
Here at The Bullitt we tend to cover mostly British bikes with the occasional Japanese cafe making it through. In the past we never gave too much attention to BMW's but the good guys at Cafe Racer Culture have definitely gotten us salivating for some Bavarian iron. Here are a few selected rides:

Cycle World's Italian Adventure
I was honored to make it to the top 10 considered for Cycle World's upcoming Italian Adventure. Cycle World was looking for motorcycle enthusiasts with blogging and social media experience. The adventure consists of 7 days in Italy where the chosen guest contributors will attend the EICMA motorcycle show and visit to Leo Vince and Spidi's manufacturing facilities for private tours. Three individuals have been chosen and you can follow their experiences here.

It's (definitely) Better In The Wind
For the past two years we've been following LA-based photographer Scott Toepher's personal project entitled 'It's Better In The Wind'. He's been road-tripping North America taking stills and shooting Super 8. A few month's back we featured a video his buddy Brandon Schrichten put together while they were filming out in El Mirage, CA.
This is not some corporate sponsored deal, just a bunch of 2-wheel loving dudes, riding, camping and having a good time. Congrats on the finished product Scott, you've inspired us all to get out there in the wind.
