A Russian Triumph

Check out this sweet little custom Triumph cafe racer built by Yuri Shif Customs out of Russia. They don't have any other cafe racers on their sites so if this is their first...I'd say job well done!

Classical Model Motorcycle Triumph Thruxton


So you're in the market for a cool cafe racer are you? You love the look of the Triumph Thruxton but want to make it a little more customized and unique? Maybe you don't have the skill, resources or time to create your own...well look no further. This baby is single and looking to mingle! Specs and price below.


The owner picked it up used in 2010 in completely stock form and since then has been transforming the bike piece by piece over time. Everything is bolt-on including the Carrozzeria wheels, Ohlins rear shocks, Arrow 2-into-2 exhaust, airbox removal, Ducati carbon front fender, one-off lowered gauge bracket, and a bunch of little bits.

Amazing Motorcycle Roadrips with The Roadery

Have you dreamt of going on an epic motorcycle road trip along the California coastline, or cruising down Route 66 to Vegas and the National Parks?  Maybe you're visiting the west coast and kicking yourself as your bike is hundreds of miles away and these roads are ripe for the pickin'.  Maybe your wife made you sell your bike and you just want a good old fashioned back-country ride with your buddies like you used to... Whatever the reason may be, rest easy friend, as you're in luck.  


The Roadery is a unique motorcycle touring company that will set you up with a customized cafe racer or cruiser (Triumph Bonneville/Thruxton or a Harley Davidson Sportster/Nightster), set your preferred route, book your hotels and guide you all the way there. As they say themselves, "All you have to do is show up and ride through some of the world’s most awe-inspiring landscapes, make new friends and reconnect with old ones. With us, you’ll get lost in the best possible way."



The routes plan for about 250-270 miles per day, which by no means is too much to handle. Trips allow for six-to-ten riders. On longer tours (some of which are one-way) a support vehicle will freight your bags and an extra bike.







There are plenty of options for guided tours, but if you're more adventurous or don't want to play follow the leader you can opt for a self-guided tour as well. With epic destinations like a 2-day 1 night "LA to SF" ride up the coast, 6 days/5 nights exploring 787 miles Vegas to Yosemite to San Francisco or the big one - 'The Great Western Roundtrip' which is a whopping 12 day trip/1696 mile trip starting in LA, through the desert, up the mountains and back down Highway 1 from San Francisco to LA. The list goes on, and I want to do them all!
Grab your buds, gather round the screen and start planning out your next adventure.  Fore more on The Roadery, check their site here.

LOTUS C-01

There's been a lot of buzz going around the web over these photos of the Lotus C-01. An interesting design with some quality materials - aero tech steel construction, 6-gear jaw-type shift transmission, hydraulic anti-hopping clutch, twin suspension struts and an upside down fork and draped in carbon fiber. The motor is said to have 200 horses coming out of its V-twin engine. Superbike components but it doesn't look nimble like a typical superbike. Is it just me?
