GEELONG V COLLINGWOOD

We went to the football last Saturday night to see the Cats v the Pies.

Our team lost, but the game was entertaining none the less.

Lowlight = Only mid strength beer in plastic cups. It was like Splendour all over again.

Midlight = Laughing at the Collingwood Boags. SRSLY. Where do these people come from?!!

Highlight = Spotting This Bike

Bike: Some Kind of Machine from THE FUTURE

Owner: Probably a Cats Supporter (TBC, email us if this is you)

Location: MCG

This bike looks like is straight out of that show "Beyond 2000"

Mental Note: Lookup "Beyond 2000" on YouTube later

CHECK OUT THE BUILT IN LIGHT. LIKE WHOA!

The Brooks seat always talks to me.

This one's saying: "I may be a psycho bike from the future, but I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany"

Hey lady! It might be a night game but that doesn't mean you have to come in your jim jams.
She has the matching Collingwood jammies and slippers. WOW.
If I was that kid I would be like "Muuuuummmmm noooooooooooooo!" and then get lost accidentally on purpose.

AS you can tell, I have dedicated this post to all you Collingwood bogans out there.
I am so generous with my time, I have even made you a Venn Diagram.

Enjoy:

DC X PK RIPPER LAUNCH

SORRY X 1 MILLION FOR LACK OF POSTS.

I went to the launch of the DC x PK Ripper Bike at 1000£ bend and snapped my neck so hard I haven't been the same since. SRSLY. Better now though. You can all relax.

SIM IS BACK!!!

Here are some bikes from the night:

One of the PK Rippers.

Another... This one I have seen up close at Pista Bikes while the lovely gents in there were fixing my BMX. The attention to detail is so rad. I especially like the pedals. Don't know about the orange though?

There was a checkpoint race before the event. I didn't go. Not because I am lazy, but I didn't have a rideable bike at the time. I was actually riding a mountain bike at the time because my bmx was fucked. I parked the mountain bike like a block away so nobody would see me on it. YUP I'm that vain. AND I really hate Mountain Bikes. That was a really, really low point in my life. Don't worry I'm all good now.

Flouro Love. It was acceptable in the 80s!

Candy coloured love. I wish I could take you all home with me. No one will notice if I just put you in my back pocket...

Chromey goodness.

SUP!

Animal print is so hot this season.

Nice.

Fuck yeah. SNAP!

OW my neck!

Loving the clean lines on this sucker.

I want those wheels! Where can I get them? ANYONE!??

Sweet!

So nice. Love a guy that is manly enough to sport a pink chain.

BOSS! Notice how all the best bikes are sporting the SBC spoke cards?

All the cool kids are doing it.

All in all, a really tops event.
Thanks to the organisers who put the show together, and all the hot boys that came to support and have been the subjects of my recent fantasies.

KRINK

Bike: Krink Fixx
Location: RMIT
Owner: TBC. Email us if this is you!

Having just started a new job on the "other side" of the city, I have been going out on little missions on my lunch break on the search for Rad Bikes. There are shitloads of bikes parked around RMIT on Swanston, you know because students are pov and they can't afford the whole $2.30 for a Metcard so they ride. When I was in uni I found a yearly Metcard at (haha) Seven nightclub so I was totally SET for the year. I then blew the dough I saved on goon. Awesome.

For those who don't know, KRINK (KR's ink) make totally bauce markers for, well, leaving your mark on shit. Like Poscas but way more drippy.

Check them out here

Don't Come Gallery had a Krink show last year. I miss you Don't Come. Why'd you have to shut down assholes?

OMG BMX

WTF is this? I need a napkin for my chair!

THIS BIKE IS A BEAST

Bike: The Beast
Owner: Damo
Location: St Kilda Massive

NOW. Let me set one thing straight. Usually I do not condone motors on bikes.
Motorbikes are not my style and Vespas make me dry retch.
But this is our friend Damo's sick beast and he built it all himself. Big ups my man!

This bike has a 70cc 2-stroke motor. The frame is a original crusier frame. It is HEAVY as fuck.
Believe me, I have carried it down a flight of stairs. Yes. I know I also am a beast.

It's based on old school Boardtracker bikes that have had a strong following since the 60s' (who knew?)
Check out more bikes like this here
Or dudes that are quite obsessed with them here

Top speed is 55kph, which is more than enough to CAIN yourself. Hell I can injure myself at like 10kph.

One day... I may just be courageous enough to have a spin. Full leather suit neccessary, so it will have to wait at least until winter. Maybe when hell freezes over.

Check out the chromey goodness... and the double chain, whoa well that's off the chain!
(Thanks dad)

Dear Damo, you are one of my favourite dudes. When I see your bike it reminds me of this scene from Pulp Fiction:

THE GARY COLEMAN

Bike: 20" Black Beauty

Location: Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne

Owner: TBC: Email us if this is YOU!

This bike is nice. It is short, black and a lil' stumpy.

If this bike were a tv character it would totally be Arnold in Diff'rent Strokes.

Whatcha talkin bout Willis?

Sometimes I wish that I had a catchphrase.

The X-factor True Structure Mags? Holy Moley!

The thing that first caught my eye about this little beauty was the those Three Spoke Mags. They are tough.

Gary Coleman is not tough. After his success as a child actor he sued his parents and former manager over his $3.8 million trust fund.
He won a almost $1.3 mil in 93 then filed for bankrupcy 6 years later... Way to Go Gary!

MR. MATT HAS A HOTTT BMX

Owner: Matt

Bike: 80's chrome diamondback feat. Skyway Tuffs

Location: Preston

This is our friend Matt's bike. He's a rad dude that we first met at the Phrase show last year. This bike is RAAAAAD. Heart the colour co-ordination between the wheel & fork. Nice 1 Matt!

WEB: http://www.rad-dudes.com/

Owner: Matt
Bike: 80's chrome Repco HOTFOOT
Location: Preston

Another killer bike owned by Matt.

In cycling, the condition known as “hot foot” is a burning pain in the ball of the foot, perhaps radiating toward the toes. Severe cases feel like some sadistic demon is applying a blowtorch.

This is not that kind of Hotfoot though!

Repco have the trademark Hotfoot which is registered until 2014. Who knows, we might see a Hotfoot bike again one day.

MY FRIEND TIM

This is my friend Tim's bike.

Tim is a rad guy. The way that we met was straight up Hollywood.

Bike: Hot Sex On A Platter
Location: CHAPS
Owner: Timothy

Tim is the creative force of Eleven Anchors. He is destined for epicness.


This bike. WOW.

When I met Tim, his bike looked like this:

And in the freshening process:

Holy Toledo Gumby!

It may not be a Love Story, but it is a Rad Story.
