Inazuma Café introduced you Garry Laurence of Spirit of the Sixties Motorcycles few days ago. This is his forth  build marked SOTS.: a wonderful Hinkley Triton. It features a modern Bonnie engine into a Featherbed  frame: "Café racers love them or hate them, but you can’t ignore them - Garry says - Personally having built more than enough over the years, I would say I much prefer them to standard machines as they are as individual as snow flakes no two are the same. Looking at standard machines as they say, seen one and you have seen them all. Now you can spend hours looking at a line of Café racers and talking to the owners you get a real feel for the enthusiasm and esteem these machines are held in”…

Little Joe II, the name of an American space missile used from 1963–66, is also the nickname given to this deeply customized Honda Shadow 600 built by Rocket Supreme in Barcelona

Lovely little bastard!

When I first saw this bike, I have been wondering for quite a bit what kind of custom build it was. So I started a small web research. It took me a while before discovering the story of Roman Zigerman Kapustin, 32 yo, from Vologda. In 2007, he decided to put together the wreck of an old IZH350 with a Yamaha 400 Diversion engine that he had available in his garage. After two years of work, this is the result...

"Madunassa" is the name given to this bike by its builders Marco and Phonz and it's an expression in Northern Italian slang which cannot be properly translated into English... However, with a certain approximation, The meaning is, more or less, "Oh my God", which is -at the end of the day- what you feel like saying when you see this excellent dark Dominator 650cc, the last born in Anvil Motociclette. It has been shown for the very first time at Gran Ferro last spring, and shot by Inazuma Cafe for its readers.
