One of the latest project firmed by the italian design studio “studiometrico” which converted an old cinema in Milan, into the new Bastard flagship store. The spectacular and hazardous ultimate milan recreative device including an administrative offices and a suspended bowl…enjoy your fly!
All the rest about the project, here, here and here
Sorry for the poor photo but I wanted to share this with you as quickly as possible because it has changed my life. Funny how a “kids” bike can do that eh? More »
Great edit. Being a SBC rider I also like that he throws in a trick I invented! Jump over spine icepick. I woke up at 2AM one night and had the idea so I went down to Rampage and rode till 6AM learning it. There’s a whole ‘nother story behind that next week but you can buy me a beer sometime and I’ll tell ‘ya. ; )
This was one of those projects I couldn’t get out of my head. I had seen, on the internet and in person, the small 2-stroke engine powered scooters which were becoming increasingly popular. Naturally I wanted one, but I’m not the type that would just buy a commercially available scooter that will work well and last for years and be happy about it: I would have to build my own.
This was also a project that kept changing. The initial design worked, but not very well (or for very long.) I kept redesigning as I went along, tweaking the bike for more reliable use. In its current condition it is quite effective at moving someone around and makes for a quick and easy to build project. My initial build lasted about 8 hours over one day. When I hopped on the thing and went flying down the road at speed, I was very thrilled and surprised to have gotten that much of a result out of one day of bodging. While you view this project, please keep in mind that some major improvements could be made to my design to fix various safety and performance issues. If you plan on building a similar design, make sure check out the lessons learned step before you build.
Hollywood Stuntman, Jeff Jensen, rides the new Ducati Terra Mostro from his home in Malibu, California, to the Pikes Peak Intn’l Hill Climb, races it and then rides it home afterwards. This would be a huge undertaking from any man in his mid-twenties, but, at twice that age, Jeff hasn’t figured that out yet.
Explore the mindset of a man that thinks he can still ride a motorcycle 1,400 miles one way, then race it in the Premier Class, on a road with thousand foot cliffs and no guard rails against World Class racers and then turn around and ride it home. Why does he think he won’t be humiliated by the competition even though his first and last race on Pikes Peak was 9 years ago? After all, he didn’t even finish the last time and this race, he’s riding a stock, untested dual-sport road bike against the Factory Teams’ riders and bikes. If that’s not enough, he’s doing all this with a broken leg and an artificial knee.
What makes stuntmen and racers do such things? Why do they think they’re bullet proof? In his search for this answer, he asks a couple of friends and fellow racers in the hill climb. One’s a former National #1 racer that, at 65 yrs old, continues to beat his own record and has nothing to prove to anyone. Also, the 68 year old stuntman who’s record has gone unbroken for 14 years but is now battling cancer and is scheduled for surgery 2 weeks after the race.
This is a trailer for the upcoming documentary feature film that chronicles Jeff’s adventure and his search for these answers with the help of other like-minded individuals.
