Just read on Inked Mag an excellent interview from the master of Japanese traditional tattoo Horiyoshi III. From his apprenticeship to his first convention outside Japan and the way the Yakuza use to give him tips and food, a very interesting interview! With a quite interesting philosophy:" 90 percent of life is timing and luck. People with bad timing and bad luck are basically fucked".
After The Bullet and The Kestrel, Ian Barry and his team unveiled The Black Falcon at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering just few days ago. This is the 3rd concept of a serie of 10 and it took them a year of work to finish this amazing piece of work. Re-engineered around a Vincent 1952 Black Shadow engine already modified for racing and dry-lake in the 50s and 60s, this new Falcon is supposed to run a 225+ km/h! Loaded with details and new parts we will hear more of this beast in the coming months for sure..
This is a 25HP bike but it looks like a drag! Yes thats a Royal Enfield and its been built in Japan by the guys from Stoop Motorcycles. Amazing work shown during the last custom show in Yokohama, great result!
