My 1. Tip

Trent Reker well known and everytime a nice visit website for metric bobber, chopper and cafe racer parts: www.bikermetric.com

Here are the results of the french entry: Great site from Eric Mathieu - Beauty of Speed, dedicated to vintage Harley-Davidson, Indian and Crocker motorcycle speed & racing

Little Honda Racer in progress


Honda CB50 Custom Bike

Still in work the Honda CB50. I had cut the seat for 3 cm to lower it and shorten the taillight. A new holder for the plate is not ready but it fits. Hope you are not tired to see this tiny bike...

Trio infernale: The Good The Bad

'001' by The Good The Bad, the lead single from the forthcoming album 'From 001 To 017'. Directed by Adam Olsson. Debut album 'From 001 To 017' released on Stray Cat Records on October 25th on iTunes. FREE MP3 Download of '001' available at www.thegood-thebad.com


The Good The Bad is a danish band with 3 men. Psycho Guitar. Bumming Bass. BD-SN-Crash Drum. Cool stuff with no voice, because a singer has no space behind the drummer :)

TGIF. Relax.

Trunk bike Motocompo

The Honda idea Motocompo is an ongoing principle based onto the Honda minibike Monkey and Dax concept. Be mobile whereever you are. Like a trunk you can take this bike into your car, and i.e. if you enter the city, put it out, turn the bars, open the gas, kick the engine and go.



The Honda Motocompo was build 1981 as Honda NCZ 50 in the colors red, yellow, white and black. It has a 2-stroke 49cc engine with 2,5 PS.

Ol' Man Biker


"Solange ich laufen kann, fahre ich auch mein Bike" scheint dieser ältere Biker zu denken. Nach den fetten Jahren nimmt die Zahl der neuen Fahrer weiter kontinuierlich ab, knapp 7% weniger Zulassungen in 2010 sprechen eine deutliche Sprache. Ein Grund sind sicher die hohen Kosten für den Führerschein. Dabei müsste es doch eigentlich politisch gewollt sein mehr Menschen mit einem Zweirad mobil zu machen, denn der Spritverbrauch oder Parkplatzraum sind ja deutlich geringer als bei einem vierrädigem KfZ. Aber anscheinend hat sich das noch nicht in den zuständigen Ministerien rumgesprochen? Quelle: Focus
