Ladies (and gay men) rejoice! Ryan Gosling is coming out with a new movie March 29th called The Place Beyond the Pines. Apparently he does all his own stunts, which include riding the piss out of a motorcycle. From the trailer, it’s looking like this film could turn out to be pretty impressive (and I’m very unimpressed by movies these days). Regardless of Gosling- this is a crime drama with a bunch of motorcycles and a seemingly good storyline. I’m stoked. The Place Beyond the Pines trailer on youtube »
Just posted a video of my friend Rob and I riding in Oregon through the Columbia Gorge on Highway 30 and beautiful back roads for 40 minutes. He’s on his custom 1979 CB750k Gulf Oil themed cafe racer, and I’m on the bizarrely awesome 1992 TDM 850.

This certainly brings new meaning to the saying… “FULL THROTTLE ‘TIL YOU SEE… Continue Reading »
Isaiah Pannier’s 1979 GS425e Cafe Racer
What you can do with some elbow grease and effort is truly amazing. Seeing high dollar builds with every detail planned and perfectly executed is definitely inspiring, each piece a work of art. But I think what I like more are garage built bikes, customized by the owner to their liking instead of a shop or designer. They both have their positives, but this is a great example of what I mean. Isaiah’s cafe racer build began with a bike you don’t often find in the USA, a 1979 Suzuki GS425e. Q…. Continue Reading »
Little Horse Cycles 1972 CB500 Cafe Racer
Andrew Cornelissen is a motorcyclist and fabricator in Portland, Oregon. His Honda CB500 custom always cruised smoothly into events looking debonaire and classy. I had to get some photos to share. That turned into me asking him all the work he’d done and well, it’s quite the list. Andrew is the founder and owner of Little Horse Cycles, does fantastic fabrication, welding, and top notch motorcycle build projects. The bike is rather ingenious in design in many ways, when you look below at the mod list you’ll see what I mean. It’s impressively light… Continue Reading »
