WTF of the week / Skate Bike
This is what you get when you cross a BMX bike with a skateboard – a skate bike, an unusual rear-wheel driven unicycle with a set of skateboard trucks and wheels at the front. These type of bikes enjoyed limited popularity during the Eighties and were made in both Florida and Los Angeles. They were a short-lived fad but apparently achieved something of a cult following in America and other places including Australia, especially in skate parks amongst some skateboard riders.

Custom / Moto Grigio / Deus Ex Machina
Michael Woolaway’s latest addition to the Deus Ex Machina arsenal, the Moto Grigio borrows its name from a vintage Ferrari paint known as Grigio Scuro. While that simply translates to ‘dark grey’ in English, it does little justice to the actual paint job on the motorcycle; a complex hue that shifts from dark grey to near black under different lighting.

Sport / Jorge Lorenzo is 2012 MotoGP World Champion
Yamaha Factory Racing rider Jorge Lorenzo wrapped up a season of domination with second on the podium in the Grand Prix of Australia to claim his second MotoGP World Championship title, becoming Spain’s first-ever double premier-class Grand Prix Champion.
Starting from second on the grid, Lorenzo took the holeshot from the start line, but dropped to third initially behind Championship rival Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner. As the leading pack ran through turn four Pedrosa crashed out, leaving Stoner and Lorenzo to break away. The Championship leader delivered a textbook race of inch perfect laps, maintaining the gap to Cal Crutchlow chasing in third, eventually crossing the line in second to claim the 2012 MotoGP Rider’s title.

Suzuki Katana by Extreme Creations
It can’t get much better than this, seriously. If by any chance you’re searching for the new bike, we would ask you to please consider something like this. It’s a 1982 GSX1100 Katana, a absolute cult bike and it’s been cleverly “freshened up” by the cool people from Extreme Creations / AUS. Now, why are we advocating for this type of purchase? One thing is for certain – Katana has more character and style than anything currently offered on the market. In this particular instance – the “problematic” old parts of the bike have been changed to the modern ones: GSXR1000 front end, GSX1400 swing arm and wheels, Delkevic carbon fiber “shorty” muffler, and then some, so you get more or less the same performance as modern bikes (don’t tell us you ride like Casey Stoner on the street).

Carbon Fiber Aprilia RSV4 Factory Down Under
Let’s get the facts straight – the Carbon Fiber Special Edition of the latest Aprilia RSV4 Factory bike is absolutely bonkers, mad, crazy-exclusive and super-expensive. Yet somehow it represents an object of such irresistible desire that it would easily make the sanest and most calculated rider spend it’s entire life savings in an blink of an eye. And we have to say that we understand this poor, sane and calculated man. Who wouldn’t, for only $10 000AUS more, buy (what buy, steal) a $39 990AUS machine with the following specifications: Continue reading →

2012 WSB Phillip Island / Max Victorious in Race 1, Checa in Race 2
Wining the 2012 Phillip Island Race 1 in fine style with 7 seconds advantage over the second placed Melandri, Max Biaggi is showing that he’s in top form. Although the team is running without the major sponsor this year (Al Italia is gone) it looks like Aprilia again produced top notch machine. Max was the only rider in race 1 to produce consecutive low 1.32 laps – putting the rest of the field to shame. Continue reading →
