HILLMAN AT JEFF'S SHED

Check out this sweet Hillman fixay I spotted at the Melbourne exhibition centre AKA Jeff's shed! FYI this building has the largest pillarless floor space in the southern hemisphere. Go Jeff Kennett! Dude is a legend face.
Helloooo nerd attack- I'm manning our hub at the 2012 property investing conference and it is gaaaaaaaaay. Only because most of the time the antendees are in seminars and we only speak with them for like 10/60 mins. Le sigh. Highlight of my day: sneaking into the food and wine festival and chowing down on anything with a toothpick innit. Oh yarr and this flash ride. Hot.

BMX DREAMING

Bike: The Hubless BMX Concept Bike by Nikolay Boltachev

Location: MY DREAMS

Owner: Me! (I wish)

I had a dream about this bike last night. I haven't thought about this rad ride since I first posted it in 2010 but I think that there were a few factors that ended up in this bike resurfacing from my subconscious. 

1. My friend Nick came over last night to tell me about another bike that his friend has for sale:

A OG PK Ripper! Fuck Yeah! How much? Out of my price range, unforch. 

Also, this MTB with a wooden frame:

Hmmmm... as long as you like it! TTYTT I don't think I would ever juice over a MTB, except if I was riding downhill again. Then lay that double suspension. on me bruvva! In the city though, fuck off, I don't know you. 

2. I'M FULLY SICK.... not like guido fully sick re! - Although I am holed up in bed watching season 2 of Jersey Shore. It's shit funny. Instead of getting jacked up on coke and steroids, I'm getting loose on Codrals and Mercyndol. Oooh baby watch out 

POINT: Drugs make you cray. Have you ever left a nicotine patch on when you went to sleep? MANG!

3. Seeing THIS  listing on eBay, with gems like this:

Oooh la la
THIS:

THIS:

THIS:

SHEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT

This dude face was selling 57 bikes from a private collection, for the pittance of a $50k starting price! Chump Change really pffffffffffttttttttt


These 3 things combined led me to that loopy dream last night. I wish it would come true because then I would be doing sick ass jumps on Hell Track on a hubless BMX rather than chomping cold meds and watching trash in bed. Such is life amigos, happy hump day!

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

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"

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.
