McLane Thruxton Cafe Racer

Cafe Racer McLane Thruxton is a newest work of Australian customizer “Garage Project Motorcycles” (Pert. Australia), which won the support of the owner Lee Draman. The last 5 years a fireman Lee enjoying distancing sensations that gives him a job. However, he is always looking for new emotions and love to ride on motorcycles. For the first time he sat in the saddle about 4 years ago. About a year Lee rode a motorcycle Triumph Street Triple and saw an ad for a motorcycle Triumph Thruxton at a good price, I could not resist buying it. He decided to rebuild and remake the bike to your taste, however, the skills are clearly not enough, so Lee turned to the guys from the workshop “Garage Project Motorcycles”. Why motorcycle called McLane Thruxton? Becasue, in honor of John McLaren. Lee believes that the characters are well-known actor and custom bikes something similar: strong, tough, stubborn, etc.

Aston Martin Rally to London Centenary Celebration

To celebrate 100 years of the Aston Martin brand 100 Astons will wind their way through Europe’s most amazing landscapes and along some of the continent’s best roads. The event is current taking place and is due to end tomorrow (21st July) in London, where the 100 Astons will join 1,000 more from all over the world. The distance travelled over the full five days of the event will be 1,000 miles but drivers have been able to pick up the trail from various points throughout the continent.

The trip crosses seven countries and starts from Lake Como in Italy. From there it goes on to St.Moritz in the Swiss Alps, passes Lake Constance and Stuttgart in Germany, as well as the Aston Martin Nürburgring Test Centre, before going through the Ardenne region in Belgium before reaching Château de Cocove in France where the drivers pick up the Eurotunnel.

SLR 600 NERD by FMW

The owner of this SLR 600, a former super stock rider, wanted a special bike which was like a Japanese schoolgirl, the one you see in the manga, wearing white socks and high school uniform: one of those quiet-looking and vaguely resigned, but a real tiger in the intimacy. A Cagiva tank, MV Brutaleexhaust, several handmade aluminum components and the usual classy work… That’s the way Fugar Metal Worker made “the Nerd”: a city tracker with a prissy dandy appearance but ignorant in the soul, evil in the engine and with a sharp chassis...

WAR CRIMES HARLEY CUSTOM BY SUPER RAT

Super Rat Motorcycles is one of those garages that never, ever builds anything normal. And this bike, War Crimes, is anything but normal. We featured their Egg Salad bike last year and for those of you who remember it, you’ll know what I mean when I say that it took me a few minutes of studying it’s design to get my head around it.

War Crimes started life as a ’66 Harley-Davidson XLCH Ironhead. It was in terrible shape when the guys at Super Rat got their hands on it and as such, not much of the original bike remains except the engine, transmission and even that has been heavily modified.

The twin carburettors are toggled with a custom 2 into 1 throttle cable (not a fun thing to have to make) and the meticulous exhaust system is a master class in delicate welding. The colour match between the chain and pipes is a really nice touch, as is the fuel tank and custom front fairing.

It’s great to see builders like this busting the mould and creating unique, rideable custom motorcycles that look like they’ll survive the eventual heat death of the universe. Click here to see more from Super Rat.
