Got turned on to HopperMag through Zac over at Heavy. From there – I found this great article about Tom Hayashi and Junk Motor in Japan. This dude is a cool, calm collector of fine HD artifacts. He quietly pedals his stuff over the internet and hangs out in a tiny little bedroom of a shop. Seriously, this dudes spread looks like a super secret clubhouse. Anyway, there’s a really cool video worth checking out. I talked to the guys at HopperMag to see if they’d open up the Vimeo for sharing but for sake of article continuity, you gotta go check ’em out to get the whole story. The Hopper Mag gang is doing some really cool treasure hunting. They’re actually getting off there asses and going out to capture the scene first hand. Expect big things from them.
My neighbor Vern’s got this really great Triumph Speed Triple. I’ve always been a sucker for those single sided swing arms and that straight out of the showroom street fighter look. Gotta admit, Triumph motorcycles have got style. Since year one, these bikes have definied cool in so many ways. Snapped this photo out at the bike shop a month back. Just found it in my phone and thought it would make a nice addition to the chopper blog. Dig it.
So tomorrow (the 15th of July) is 3rd Thursday. This is a lot like first Thursday… only 2 weeks later and at hosted in and around the BlueCat Shop. Never been to Bluecat Motors? Here’s the link. Speed Club will be in attendance so make sure you say hello. Bring out your cicle cause we’re always looking for stuff to photograph. Who knows, you might see yourself here on the site! This is an all bikes are welcome kinda thing. Lots of xs650’s, KZ’s, CB’s, GT’s, etc, etc, etc. We hope to see all of you out there.
Speed Club’s Spring/Summer 2010 Parts Catalog – COMING SOON! That’s right folks. We’ll soon be releasing our first complete parts catalog including all Speed Club, Biltwell INC and Lowbrow Customs parts and accessories. The catalog will be digital .pdf download only and willincludeall sorts of cool shit for your chopper, bobber, rat, XS650, Shovelhead, cafe, and whatever other 2-wheeled machine you’re riding. Why order via Speed Club? It’s simple. We’ve got great prices, great products and if you’re local you can just come pick it up in person. Save yourself the shipping and have a beer at the Speed Club Shop.
Speed Club is out of the office today. We’re on a mission to a super secret underground Harley parts lair for a little project shopping. A shovel head motor is an awfully nice “spare part” to have hangin’ around. Here’s an interesting video I came across the other day. It’s one of a series of 3 or 4. Check it out. Good lookin bikes. See you’s guys tomorrow.
~ Speed Club Approved.
