So there were we moaning about being cold, well that was until our good friend Aimar from Estona was on the other end of the phone said, “cold? What the hell, minus 25 is cold, and that’s what it is here!”
Take a look at a couple of shots he fired over that make our ground frost of last night simply pathetic!
If you are Estona bound Aimar is well worth getting in touch with for all you custom bike needs, find him here:

In our eyes vans shoes are pretty much the best you can get when it comes to covering your feet! Since 1966 Vans have also covered the feet of some (if not all) of the best skateboarders in the world! With that the case It seems amazing that in the ever expanding media world that we live in Vans have managed to avoid making a skate video until now. First glimpses of the aptly titled ‘1966′ suggest they are more than making up for lost time. Time will show what they are going to pull out of the bag, but no doubt its best to expect it all!

When did everyone become computer nerds and we all want to be on the dam things for every hour in every day? Well even so we want one of the new Apple I-pads as launched yesterday by the mighty Apple computer corporation! This thing is poised to do it all and knowing Apple it no doubt will! It may however just look like everyone has really small hands or is just holding a wacky oversized i-phone, either way it looks great, well that’s until your greasy paws scratch the screen and it kisses the ground a few times!
This thing isn’t just another slick, well designed toy from the peeps at Cupertino. It’s driving digital media into a whole new future. Apple’s goal is to offer a new platform for content creators to reinvent books, magazines and online content — in addition to offering a new avenue for content producers to make money. That platform will likely be far broader than just a tablet device, and will extend to every device or computer that iTunes touches.
More content, more interactivity, more convenience.

As we have said before on this very blog this year will see us celebrate twenty years building custom bikes. The list to celebrate this mighty milestone truly is as long as possible when it comes to what we have planned for the year ahead! We have already unveiled our all new production bobber ‘Venti’ at Verona last week and if the reaction is anything to go by we can wait till the sun comes out and you see what else we have been working on behind closed doors.
We currently have a couple of bikes that we really have been keeping tightly under wraps, from a truly classic elegant Battistini styled build to something that will simply make your jaws drop off! With this the case, if you are out and abouts on the south coast of England over the coming weeks watch out is all we can say as you may not believe your eyes!
Good times!

We may build bikes with two wheels but its hard to ignore the four wheel world especially when this year is lining up to be the best one yet for F1!
Mercedes-Benz have come into the fold after taking over the Formula One championship-winning Brawn GP team at the end of the 2009 season and will really hot things up for the season ahead.
The official Mercedes-Benz car unveiling will occur on Feb 1st at Valencia when testing begins, so for now it’s the ’09 Brawn car with a splash of paint which was debuted at a special event held at the Mercedes-BenzMuseum in Stuttgart.
The new liquid metal hue recalls the classic Silver Arrows grand prix cars of Mercedes and Auto Union from Germany's glory days of racing. And hard as it is to believe, it's been 55 years since Mercedes had its own racing team.
Get ready!
