Preview ‘The Greasy Hands Preachers’ Motorcycle Film by Belstaff

‘The Greasy Hands Preachers,’ a film made possible by Belstaff and executive producer Orlando Bloom, examines the lives of those dedicated to the world of custom motorbikes. Following familiar names including Roland Sands, Shinya Kimura and the crew from Blitz Motorcycles, we look at, not only the sport of riding, but the intense emotional connection that many riders have with build process itself and their custom prized creations. The action-packed film is shot with a backdrop of stunning scenery from the hills of Galicia to the saltflats of Utah, all captured on Super-16mm film for one pleasing visual experience. Taking in a range of experiences from across the globe, this ode to biker culture a reminder that “four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul.” Rent or purchase the film here.

Belstaff Cafe Racer Motorbikes by Taras Kravtchouk

Belstaff commissioned Taras Kravtchouk, founder of Stockholm-based design agency Gravity Hill, to design two cafe racer motorbikes for their flagship stores. The silver 73 Triumph T100 and the black 64 BSA A65 are respectively displayed at their LA and New York locations, both marked with vintage racing-style numerals and branded with a unique Belstaff script. Like other items designed by Kravtchouk, the bikes have a sleek and modern Swedish aesthetic to them, being clean and modern without any flashiness. Our favorite of the two racers is the BSA A65 because of its contrasting gold detailing seen on the chain and Kravtochouk’s signature “T” laurel wreath. Go here to see more on this and other incredible projects.

NEIGHBORHOOD x Dice Magazine Preview VIDEO

Cars, tattoos and chicks play the stage for the 6 minute preview video for Dice Magazine‘s upcoming collaboration with NEIGHBORHOOD. Set to the soundtrack of the aptly chosen Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, the video paints a movie-esque picture of a sun-setting scene in the middle of Americana and follows a brief narrative of taunting lust and rivaling egos. The video hints at the collaboration at hand with cameos of the joint-effort’s branded varsity jacket seen throughout, and sets the tone for the official release to come. With efforts like this put into play early for the project, we can look forward to something good from the pairing come its launch. For now, enjoy the short above.

Moto Guzzi V1100 Custom Motorcycle

Alain Bernard of Santiago Chopper’s custom Moto Guzzi V1100 is a return to minimalism, leaving only the bare essentials exposed for the eye to see. Of course, the essentials that are left are of the highest quality and include a Ducati throne and a carbon fiber gas tank. Its basic elements have led to the beauty being dubbed the “Weight Watcher” due to it being stripped of both physical and visual clutter.
