This guy bench presses (four times?!) a woman on top of an oldschool Ducati. You know, the heavy ones… not one of them newfangled 360 lbs weighing bikes.
Thanks for sending this to me, Jonah!
SFRC Alley Sweeper 2013: “GET OFF MY LAWN!”
Alright, it may be slightly delayed… but I finished my video from the 2013 Sang-Froid Riding Club Alley Sweeper Urban Enduro. After the event I did a mini status update with photos of the damage to the bike and myself after wrecking it twice. Now it’s time to answer the question posed to me via instagram, facebook, AND twitter: “Can you explain to me how that’s fun?”
Sure… riding through mud, potholes, gravel, grass, and whatever else you happen upon is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the motorcyclists who like to get dirty, like to feel their back tire lose traction. Those of us who enjoy those “oh shit moments” and riding with other friends.
The Alley Sweeper is not about property damage or disrespect to neighborhoods and communities. Motorcyclists are ALL ABOUT community!
Film: Out of Nothing
The magic of Bonneville Salt Flats and land speed racing there is mentioned often around these parts. During my 2012 trip to the BUB speed trials and Bonneville, I had the good fortune to meet a very talented photographer and videographer, Chad DeRosa. He and I both had the same mission- capture the magic of the salt flats and Sodium Distortion race team. Our end vision however was very different- he was filming for “Out of Nothing,” an epic tale of four men forging land speed records.
Sometimes motorcycling and marketing are mated perfectly… as seen in the Nudist Motorcycle Safety PSA video. The same is true for this Shark helmet video. The difference between real protection and a false feeling of safety is shown in stark contrast in this somewhat extreme motorcycle helmet test.

Hey remember the End of the World Ride and Last Party on Earth? Yeah, the one I threw for the Mayan “apocalypse” on December 21st. Well I met Johnny at the Alley Sweeper yesterday who actually made a video of it. Thanks man!
Wheelies abound!
Nicolai Sclater, aka OrnamentalConifer (blog), is a British graphic designer gone sign painter.
Back in december I posted photos of hand painted leather jackets by Ornamental Conifer. Then earlier in April I posted the first “Further” video featuring an awesome bike with SUSHI EATER lettering on the side. Observe, that same bike in the secondrow/middle photo above!
Nicolai is a talented designer with a very steady hand. His art helps express the soul of the pieces he is decorating whether it be a helmet, jacket, or motorcycle.
Video: As the Sun Sets
A video about the somber feeling one gets when riding season comes to a close- when we often hold on to each last moment the sun is still kissing the asphalt and the roads are still dry.
Hopping on a motorcycle after work for even the shortest jaunt can be a meditative experience.
Music Video: Birdy Nam Nam - Defiant Order
Motorcycles and an unexpected love story- my eyes welled up with tears at the end and simply because the content in this video is everything I love.
Men love ladies who can RIDE!
Cager tries to pass bikers on the dirt shoulder and on the right… doesn’t end well. (Thanks to Stormie for the tip!)
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.
“Further”, a short film by Edwin Denim Co. & Kingdom of Kicks, covers the joys of motorcycling with friends. As often it begins with vintage bikes, some wrenching is done before heading out to the beach and back.
Check out the Further video on vimeo.
The Build Film by Instrument
A really keen design company here in Portland released an interactive video about some prominent Portland motorcycle builders. Why should you care? Well, besides that it’s always a treat to hear what inspires other motorcyclists… the bad ass imagery comes to mind.

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.
Watch the “Columbia Gorge Motorcycle Goodness” video on the MotoLady Official youtube channel.
Ah, nostalgia.
Earlier today I posted the gif of a guy jumping his dirtbike into a river. Fabian on facebook pointed me to the source video- a clip from StuntFreaks Killing IT movie… the dirtbike base jump from 40 meters (that’s about 131 feet for us stupid Americans).
Antti Pendikainen- “I’m planning to drive with the bike, from there to there, as fast as possible. And try not to fuck up. And at the end come down with my base parachute.
This certainly brings new meaning to the saying… “FULL THROTTLE ‘TIL YOU SEE GOD”.
Check it out.
“We Were Never Born” by Dosnoventa featuring words from Kérouac (such an amazing writer). This video features different sides of two wheel life- bicycles and motorcycles. Riding in symbiosis with the natural worlds around them, carving trails and sliding through corners.
Anyway, watch the video. It’s beautiful and dare I say… moving.
