16 Jun 2014: There is no crying in the Outback…
A few months back Velodirt released the info of a new ride (or race if you wished to race it) – The Oregon Outback 360. A mostly gravel road ride that consisted of 360 miles through some of the most challenging and remote areas in Oregon. The course started in Klamath Falls, near the boarder of California and ended at the Deschutes River Park in the Columbia River Gorge.
They recommended nothing smaller than a 2” tire and warned over and over again it would be a completely unsupported event with little to no services along the way. This meant not only would the terrain be demanding, but that you’d have to carry everything you need for those 360 miles and some 17,000+ feet of climbing.
15 Jun 2014: The 50th Anniversary Honda Super 90 Concept Motorcycle
The 50th Anniversary Honda Super 90 Concept Motorcycle by Igor Chak
Igor Chak has submitted his latest project to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Honda Super 90. He has come up with classic concept motorcycle that represents his love of the Honda’s design in the 60’s. Back in the 60’s, Honda was focusing more on the lightweight and stylish bike for optimum performance in rural areas, thus, the bikes were cheaper with better gas mileage compared to bigger bikes. The iconic S90 bike also came from that era, it’s a unique motorcycle with shiny chrome tank and a stamped frame featuring a 89.6cc SOHC, 2-valve, 4-stroke air-cooled engine that can reach a top speed of 64mph.
This motorcycle design study tries to bring back this vintage vehicle into our modern life, it’s been 50 years since the first S90 launched. For this new design, Igor Chak didn’t really want to change anything since S90 appearance is already perfect. He only made the new S90 a bit bigger, sleeker, and more aerodynamic, the chrome is still there, you can see it from the gas tank to little accents around this bike.

26 May 2014: Cherubim Track
かなり前から保管してあったケルビムのトラックフレーム、時間がかかりましたがなんとか形にする事ができました。パッと見た感じディスクとリングが派手なのでほかはクラッシックに仕上げてみました。色味はブラウンで統一、その他のパーツはZEUSを中心に組んでいます。
