Tamburini's Answer to Viagra

As if the plain Jane MV Agusta Brutale isn't boner-inducing enough, Tamburini brings you his special carbonfiber swathed special edition. Price is yet to be announced but rest assured these will find homes next to more Ferraris than Accords. Long jacket to hide "Captain Standish" sold separately.

Falcon Cafe

While the big news today seems to be Harley's new 48 (which I'll talk about soon), the big news to me is Falcon's announcement that they're working on a new line of cafe racers based on the Triumph Thruxton. As you can see from the link there's practically no info but news like this from one of the most interesting builders on the planet is definitely something deserving attention. What remains to be seen is the bikes themselves. I'm also curious to see if this is something done in partnership with Triumph or completely independent of them. Good move on Triumph's part if it's the former. This is something I've always said Harley should do. Who wouldn't like to see a Sporty given the Roland Sands treatment? Oh yeah, you can at Bike EXIF (it's surprisingly not easily found on Roland's site). And while HD continues to do what they do and announce bikes that hardcores look at and say "yeah, it's OK," Roland and Falcon and others continue to build bikes we drool over but can't afford anyway. Fuck it. Just build your own drool inducing ride. Laters.

Roland Sands Cafe Sporty at Bike EXIF

Pure Beauty

This has got to be one of the most beautiful AJS shots I have ever seen. Of course I was so captivated by its beauty that I forgot to note where I found it. If you happen to know drop me a comment so I can give credit. They just don't build 'em like this anymore. 

DB at the Bluebird

Almost forgot to mention this one. My buddy and collaborator (on one song but hey, it's the only one I ever wrote) is playing down at the world famous Bluebird Cafe. You know, the place where Garth Brooks and countless other music stars have been discovered. Anyway, if you're a fan of good music or a rich and powerful music exec head on down. You can also check his website and download everything for free. The best song by far is "Emily." It might also be the one I co-wrote. Gig info on the poster (which I designed), website below. Check it! Laters.
