BLITZ MOTORCYCLES “BSW"

16 Mar 2012
BSWFred and Hugo of Blitz Motorcycles describe their latest creation as “A gentleman’s bike for a gentleman rider”. But it’s not a conservative, retro throwback. “BSW” is decidedly unconventional, like all of Blitz’s builds so far.

The motorcycle was built for an English customer called John, who lives in Paris. It’s a BMW R60/6, a 599cc airhead that was manufactured in the mid-70s. A strong, economical and relatively simple bike, it weighs just over 200 kg wet and is capable of more than 160 kph in stock form. READ ON

Emotional Baggage | 1972 Harley-Davidson Custom

07 Mar 2012
1972 Harley-Davidson "You owe me a purse!” she exclaimed. Usually when I hear that, it means some drunk just tossed cookies on a stripper or something. This is the first time in the 11 years I’ve been writing bike features someone has ever told me that in relation to a motorcycle, however.
 
Before we get to the new handbag though, we have to step back a year to an old frame. PJ Ciraulo had lent his old buddy, John, a hand moving stacks of boxes. John’s dad, Peck, owned an old chopper shop called The Scooter Shack in downtown San Jose, California, so it wasn’t that huge of a surprise when they unearthed a ’72 Harley Super Glide frame during the move.  READ ON


World’s First Superbike: The 1937 Brough Superior SS100 | Superiority Complex

27 Feb 2012

1937 Brough Superior“Doing the Ton”—breaking the 100-mph barrier—for the first time is a milestone moment in any motorcyclist’s career. Losing my own velocity virginity was especially remarkable because it happened aboard the very bike you see in these pictures: a 1937 Brough Superior SS100, perhaps the most fantastic and desirable machine in the history of motorcycling.
