Happy Father’s day! Thanks to all the dads who have helped us know the joys of motorcycling, or who raised the type to be into such a hobby/sport.  (Photo credit unknown, couldn’t find the original source. I imagine it’s a LIFE image.)

The second half of my photo series with Lana- fashion style for retro appeal. Lana is a Portland local and amazing photographer, you can see her photographs of real women who ride on WomensMotoExhibit.com. She’s wearing the MotoLady Gasmask bandana, Icon 1000 El Bajo boots, Icon Pursuit gloves, and Biltwell 3/4 DOT helmet. 

Photographs copyright Alicia Mariah Elfving, themotolady.com 2013.

Awesome submission of Kate Carlsen from photographer Alex Ulleri (website), he said-

Here is my friend Kate, an awesome lady from Toronto, Ontario Canada. She just picked up her new ‘93 Sportster and has been riding it non stop. Kate’s a big fan and was super excited when I asked her if I could submit the photos to you. 

Keep up the great work. You’re an inspiration to everyone. Not just women.

Thank you for the amazingly sweet compliment and excellent photography submission! Nothing can top a nice shot of a lady who rides, and these are quite lovely. Kate, congratulations on your new ride!

Ray Gordon is stylin’ on his new ride, rockin’ the Biltwell Gringo helmet. He recently traded his Triumph for this 1990 Harley FXR, now named “Ron Burgundy”. Read my interview with Ray Gordon here » [ more tagged Biltwell | for the ladies ]

Lana (who does photography and runs the Women’s Moto Exhibit) and I went out today to shoot some photos for giveaways (keep an eye out). I snapped this one of her on the XS400 with my phone on the ride back to home base. [ more photos tagged Lanakila MacNaughton ]

Cindy Du Long (of Fashion Serial Killer) photographed by Luis Aguirre for a Biltwell as campaign. This is a real woman, who really rides, with a whole boatload of personality too. I really adore her.

I find it appropriate to see a motorcycle painted with oils.  Leads to the original artist are appreciated- reverse searching didn’t turn up much past tumblr and pinterest.  [ more posts tagged Art ]

Kind of brat style? Motolady with her hair blowin’ in the wind, cruisin’. If anyone knows the origins of this photo, please let me know so I may add credit. The lovely Cindy DuLong let me know who this lovely lass is! “That’s my friend Hanayo! She lives in Nagoya, Japan.” I should have known this, because I’ve featured Hanayo on her motorcycle before. Check out her other pics.

In lieu of a full Monster Project update (which is desperately past due), I wanted to share a photo I snapped yesterday after the seat was chopped.  It still needs the foam shaped (and reupholstered obviously), but this is the closest to finished I’ve seen my Monster. Finally, you can see the shape I was going for in my build sketches.  I am more than pleased with my design decisions.

Greasers, line dancing, break dancing, burnouts, big hair, leather and chopsticks. This is just some of what you get to see in the Nothing to Worry About music video from Peter Bjorn & John.

This is my favorite music video of all time, I’m honestly shocked and appalled that I have not shared it yet.
