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:

MAD MEX

Bikes: Fresh off the boat
Location: Chaps
Owners: TBC. Email us if this is you

Just another lazy Sunday afternoon. Loz B and I were doing a chap lap, scoping for honeys, BUZ AS UGE. We spotted this pair out the front of Mad Mex in Windsor.

It's winter in Melbourne. Am freezing my tits off on the reg. Not this day though. Look at the sun shining through like a ray from heaven. Guiding our eyes like a beam from an angel straight on to these fine bikes. They srsly looked like it was their first outing. Brand spanking.

BORAT SAYS: "VERY NIIIIIIICE"

SYD AIN'T ALL THAT BAD


Melbourne's my town, but apparently Sydney has some shizz going on.
This was a few weeks back, I got this email when I was at Splendour and completely forgot all about it.

BIG thanks to Nick for all of the pics!


"Hola Sim, Was wandering aimlessly through Sydney and came across a fixie exhibition in a mall, they had heaps of bikes hanging, and then display boxes with bits and pieces and profiles on riders etc.
Only problem is my camera runned out of battery! I managed to get one of a disc wheel in the case, and one of the most of the hanging bikes."

"So I have a couple of crappy zoomed pics from my phone, but they were coming out shit with the zoom, so didn't bother anymore."


Damn those Sydneysiders love the Aero's don't they?

Hmmm Red & Gold... HOW ORIGINAL


"Then today, just hanging around, killing time, this dude pulled up across the street from me on this, I asked him about it, but he said his mate built it for him. I had my camera for that one."


I wonder if his mate built it without a seat "accidentally" initially?
HA HA SYDNEY

TIE ME UP


Bike: Purple Bondage Princess
Location: DC x PK Ripper Launch
Owner: TBC - Email us if this is you!

How cool are the details on this bike? It's tied up like a present. I love presents. Or it could be shoelaces. ALSO LOVE.

Like what would be awesome is if someone surprised you with a present and it was sneakers and a rad bike and all wrapped up together. WOWZA stop it my brain can't handle the awesomeness. If you covered that tied up present heap in marshmallow and Scott Mescudi gave it to me my face would literally explode due to the crazy radness.


I thought that that Mr.President song Coco Jamboo had the lyrics "Tie me up, Tie me down..." something, something... but I was wrong.

Holy Moley we thrashed the shit out of this song at Karaoke in Japan. Every Time!

I love the cheese anyway. Suffer in your jocks motherlickers!!



Now I gotta go EY COCO

SLAY RAMPS


Some genius built a ramp in Dissolver. Loz Burger and I went in for a peep. It was totally awesome. Unfortunately we had to leave early because we went off the Splendour in the Grass the next day.

THANKS to what ever legend made this highlight video. I feel like I was there the whole night... swilling Stella's with the honeys.

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.

TECHNICOLOR WHOA


Bike: Holden, you make cars right?
Location: Devonshire Street, Surry Hills, SYD
Owner: Crafty Old Vagabond

Oh Sydney. You're no Melbourne... To compensate, you gave me this bike. A multi wheel of coloured fortune! Ok, it doesn't come close but hey, thanks for trying.

I'm a total sucker for anything that pops colour as much as this. So, I had to bail the old man up for a chat. He engineered this baby all by himself.

Check it closely, FULL ELECS! When the sun goes down, flick the switch and watch him go.

Rave on Pops.
