There are many fine motorcycle sites around Bike Exif, Visordown and Pipeburn to name but a few, but I wanted a platform with more of a magazine feel and allow contributions from photographers and journalists to showcase their love for bikes, design and all things retro. I was an Art Director on a bike mag for nearly 5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of riding many bikes in the UK, in Europe and in South Africa and while I’m no test rider I was lucky enough to ride with some great journalists and a few legends. My love for bikes has increased tenfold since I stopped working in the industry and through the passion of people’s videos and stories on sites like vimeo. There are some truly creative people out there and I hope to share both their thoughts and mine on sweet rides, pisspots and places to go ride.
