Battistinis, BUB Seven Streamliner 367mph World Record Run . . . .
BUB 7 is now the fastest motorcycle on the planet * Chris Carr set a new FIM world record & AMA national record at 367.382 mph thru the mile with an exit speed of 372.534 mph at the Cook Private Meet at the Bonneville Salt Flats Utah.
How fast is 367.382 mph?
That's 538 feet per second and 5 football fields in 3.3 seconds. To make it a world record you have to back it up within 2 hours the opposite direction thru the measured mile.... All we can add is nice one BUB Racing!

Well today brings one of those jobs that nobody likes doing and is always the one to get shelved at any given chance, yet its no better or worse day than any other to start so we may as well get on with it! Over the last twenty years we have gathered together a pretty serious media press database that we fire out updates, press releases and god knows whatever else to! Over these years we have seen lots of magazines, websites, blogs, e.t.c come and go and also and so a no doubt some huge gaps in our database details!
Basically, when 2010 hits we are kicking it up a massive gear and doing so have started today to update our complete press database. If you are in the media (tv, radio, print, internet e.t.c) or know of anybody in it that you feel should be added to our list please feel free to fire there names our way! Don’t be shy of contacting us if you are not in the custom industry as in truth we like to share our bikes and news outside of the custom world as much as in it! Get in touch with us at ant@battistinis.co.uk and we ill be in touch straight away with news of bikes builds, parts and all of our other latest happenings before they are available anywhere else!
Many Thanks!

Simply put S100 is the number one cycle care and maintenance range out there. If you want to get some hooky, below par, mystery bottle of stuff to spray all over your pride and joy that’s really up to you! Good luck, we hope it works but when it comes to our own bikes S100 is our only choice. We thought that re-producing the S100 catalogue in Italian for everyone in Italy to know what they are missing out on would be on a good idea, so here it is!
Contact us to be directed to your local stockist of the genuine S100 range of products!

The eagle eyed cherries amongst you will have noticed that we have been without an update for well over a week! Where the hell does time go is simply the reason why we have not been blogtastic as of late. However rest assured that we have been upto a heap of other happenings outside of this very cyber world that will come apparent over time! Its been heads down and charging on with some real sweet projects if we don’t mind saying ourselves!
From the start of October onwards traditionally always sees the winter wrenching start on the following years projects! We are now awash with some rather large boxes containing frames, forks, engines and just about every other component you need to put together some rather truly kickass steeds!
When time flies past so quick you start to forget some of the things you have been upto throughout the year, being that they begin to feel something of the distant past. One great event this year that no sooner was it here that it was gone was the 2009 Bulldog Bash. Memories came flooding back when our good mate Russell over at Exile dropped us a few pictures in the post and this one summed up a summer of good times in a single snap!
Real nice to get something through the post other than a bill that’s for sure, cheers Russ!

To those who have lived under that rock and Arlen Ness is new to you, keep reading!
1967, Arlen buys his first motorcycle, a 1947 Knucklehead®. Working in his own garage armed with only a spray gun and a vision Arlen stripped his motorcycle and gave it a full custom paint job. Shortly after, Arlen entered his first custom bike show and took first place; the first of many to come. Spending the nights in his garage working on an ever-growing list of customers' bikes Arlen realized it was time to quit his day job working for a private contractor and open a store. Renting a store space on East 14th in San Leandro, CA Arlen opened Arlen's Motorcycle "Ness-ecities". In the beginning the store was only open at night giving Arlen time to paint and work on bikes during the day. Soon demand for Arlen's "Ness-ecities" became too great and the store had to be opened full time. Following in his father's footsteps, Arlen's son Cory designed and built his first bike in his mid-teens. Together they made Arlen's Motorcycles “Ness-ecities” a hug success throughout the eighties and nineties resulting in several relocations into progressively larger stores. Now in 2009 Arlen Ness is considered as ‘The King of Customising’ and looking back at history its for good reason!
