Directions can be a bit tricky.
Electric Blue Heaven
Though it's not moto-related, I couldn't resist sharing. Australian surfer Dion Agius and renowned surf filmmaker Joe G headed to the UAE in search of a mystical man-made wave (allegedly financed by a wealthy sheik) in the middle of the desert. Take a ripper surfer, a near perfect wave, throw in a few hot girls and exotic cars and we have a winner.

Hooligan Derby Round #3
This is the first time I made it to the Iron and Resin Hooligan Derby. Awesome event with some cool dudes for sure. Bummed I dropped my film camera and it busted open, ruining the whole roll of film...
I unfortunately had to bail before the main events. That being said, I was still able to grab a few fun shots from the day.
I guess I'll be better prepared for the next races but I'm hoping to be competing rather than shooting photos. Gotta get the CB finished up!
Progress on the XS
Making headway on the XS. The frame is back from powder coat, the engine has been wire-brushed and cleared and the shocks have been blacked out. She's just about ready to get put back together! Stay tuned...





The Bullitt XS is being built by my good buddy Jeremy Moultrup. He's created his own blog, Iron and Hide where you can follow his build inspiration with a specific page to his bike as well.
Bullitt CB Progress
Making progress on the Bullitt CB...which is soon to become the Bullitt CL. After going the the Iron and Resin Hooligan Derby yesterday, this bike is begging to become more of a tracker!
The Downshift :: Cafe Racers 'Vintage Style' Video
