Some really cool photography by Studio Graphique from Mayenne, France. The stunning BMW 2002 Turbo in the photographs also looks stunning. You can probably tell that I’m very much in a BMW place at the moment and I never thought I’d say that. Both finished in amazing racing trim with the wide arch kit filled by some beautiful vintage look alloys. The location shots look really cool and look like they are at the docks, the pale blue sky really sets the yellow colour alive. The studio pic of the silver BMW is also brilliant, perfect lighting along with a gorgeous angle to show off all the car has to offer.

8 Minutes with Dime City Cycles - A look behind the scenes of The W

In a few short years Dime City Cycles has been fortunate enough to earn a loyal following as one of the many contributors to the revival of vintage speed machines. In 2012 a team of students from Full Sail University, that were interested in vintage motorcycles, Cafe Racers in specific, approached Jason and Herm and asked if they could do their final project on the Dime City Cycles brand.

They spent roughly three days shooting and a TON of time in the editing room and came up with this final piece. In our opinion, it's perfect, it tells our story giving those who already know us a little more intimate view of the interior while at the same time giving those who do not yet know us the opportunity to introduce ourselves.

Special thanks to Duke and his entire team, job well done guys!

SuperMoto: Italy scoops SuperMoto des Nations victory

For the second year running, the SuperMoto des Nations event in Pleven, Bulgaria, was won by Italy, ahead of the host country and France. It is the fourth time Italy has won this competition.

L’Italie remporte pour la deuxième année consécutive le SuperMoto des Nations à Pleven en Bulgarie devant l’équipe hôte et la France. C’est la quatrième victoire de l’Italie dans cette compétition.

The combination of Ivan Lazzarini’s victory for Honda-Michelin in the third and last race, and second place for Christian Ravaglia (Honda-Michelin) in the second race clinched a fourth triumph for Italy in the annual SuperMoto des Nations. Lazzarini dominated the last race from start to finish.

Despite the presence of the recently-crowned Mauno Hermunen (TM), who had come to lend a helping hand, the host nation Bulgaria was second. After qualifying on pole position, its bid was thwarted by Italy after Alexander Georgiev fell three times in the second race.

France – represented by Sylvain Bidart (Honda-Michelin), Thomas Chareyre (TM) and Warren Boudar – had to settle for third place, ahead of the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands.

Une victoire d’Ivan Lazzarini (Honda-Michelin) lors de la troisième et dernière course  associée à une deuxième place de Christian Ravaglia (Honda-Michelin) en deuxième manche a permis à l’Italie d’enlever un quatrième succès au SuperMoto des Nations. Signant le holeshot, Ivan Lazzarini a dominé de bout en bout la dernière manche, ne laissant aucune chance à ses adversaires.

A domicile, malgré la présence du nouveau champion du monde SuperMoto, Mauno Hermunen (TM), venu prêter main forte, la Bulgarie termine deuxième. Qualifiée en pole position, la Bulgarie a dû s’incliner face à l’Italie suite à une triple chute d’Alexander Georgiev  lors de la deuxième manche.

La France emmenée par Sylvain Bidart (Honda-Michelin), Thomas Chareyre (TM) et Warren Boudar doit se contenter de la troisième marche du podium. La République Tchèque se classe quatrième devant l’Autriche, l’Allemagne et les Pays-Bas.
