Sorry if you caught that rant yesterday. It was foolish of me to talk politics and then follow it up by attacking online gamers… even if they are totally gay, they’re not hurting anyone. Sorry.

Been a while since we looked at motorcycle stuff! Make yourself a nice cup of tea, curl up on the couch and lets have a sniff around.

Triumph are celebrating 50 years of the Bonneville this year and they’re releasing some new improved models. I wont go on about it, but hopefully the ’06 ’07 and ’08 Bonnies will be a ton cheaper. With the economy being totally fucked the bikes on Ebay seem to be getting cheaper… sort of… not really.

Have a look at this Royal Enfield Bullet Classic. It’s a remake of the original but somehow it’s not sucky…
It was released late last year and looks pretty much the same as the original 50′s Bullet- sprung solo seat, old school headlight casing, single cylinder engine (bit bigger now) But unlike the original it has an electric starter, electronic fuel injection and a few other bits and pieces. Not sure how practical this bike is, it looks fucking cool though, and it’s only about $5500.00 new!
Traditionalist Wes Lang would no doubt be revolted…

Speaking of Wes, his buddy Jethro just finished rebuilding a ’66 Shovel and it looks incredible! Click the pic for before & after shots at his blog.
Great job, man!

Here’s the trailer for seminal Aussie biker flick Stone. Feel like we’ve posted this one before, but whatever, it’s awesome. Definitely worth a Netflix. I watched this with my dad as a kid and it absolutely terrified me. Speaking of my dad, he has an embarrassing story involving a phone call to Stone‘s director/writer/star: Sandy Harbutt… but he’d kill me if I told you.
Keep you eyes open for… THE TOE-CUTTER!
