Nice Custom Bike by Chinese Bike Builder Winston Yeh (Taiwan)

首先, 要介紹一個site, www.bikeexif.com.
BIKE EXIF就是一個專門介紹世界各地電單車的網站.
他們會介紹任何類型的MOTORCYCLE.
原裝/改裝/跑車/ETC......總知是2個輪的而且很牛就會有可能被報導.

我基本上日日都會睇下BIKE EXIF, 真值得一看.
好像潮人看HYPERBEAST一樣. 天天看.
BIKE EXIF的選材是一流的, 不要想像他們會報導一些不值一看的BIKE.

外觀改裝, 大致上分2種., 買現有的零件再安裝, 另一種就應該是CUSTOM BUILD

買現有的零件再安裝是比較主流, 因比較容易實踐. 功夫較少.

CUSTOM就大大不同了.
BIKE BUILDER要先同車主有了共識, 再向每一個要改變的零件作出改變.
由重新設計再打做一個獨一無二(ONE OFF)的零件, 為車注入靈魂.
令一輛 CUSTOM BIKE 誕生, 令車子同車主人車合一就是CUSTOM BIKE的目的.
所以BIKE BUILDER先要同車主有足夠的交流, 而得車主絕對信任. CUSTOM BIKE 才可完成.

BIKE EXIF最近又一再刊登了(是第2次了!!!)由台灣好友WINSTON CUSTOM BUILD的HARLEY FORTY-EIGHT(2011 MODEL).

當你知道CUSTOM BIKE係老外既世界, 你就明白一名華人可以上BIKE EXIF(仲要2次)有幾困難;
當你知道CUSTOM BIKE係華人世界不被重視時, 你就明白一名華人BIKE BUILDER有幾痛苦.

唔信, 係睇下WWW.BIKEEXIF.COM就知了.

和WINSTON的訪問將會不日日送上. 請大家支持.

Old School Racer

Yes, I got a Yamaha SR400.
Was like this.


After few days.

Yeah, turn to a cafe racer now.
But honestly I am no a rocker or something.
This is a old school racer, and it is called TRIGGER.

Thanks everyone who helped me to build this bike.
You knows who you are! Thanks!

And my money is gone.
Still got some part need to have modification.
Hopes I can finish it after the summer holidays.

Kawasaki S1-Cafe-by BIKE EXIF


Kawasaki S1
The Kawasaki S1 is rarely found in the US. Which is a pity, because this air-cooled two-stroke triple is reportedly a fun ride. Sometimes known as the ‘Mach 1’, it lived up to its name—road testers managed to wring almost 100 mph out of it in the early 70s. This dark and subtle café racer comes from Twinline Motorcycles of Seattle, who impressed us a couple of years ago with their Project Goldhead Yamaha RD350. According to builder Ian Halcott, ‘We built this bike in our spare time over the winter. I like it when I can just build … No requirements, no expectations.’
Kawasaki S1
There was not an auspicious start to this project, though. ‘A friend bought the bike at top dollar, and three miles down the road the life went out of the motor. When he asked the seller what was up, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “That’s vintage bikes.”’ So Twinline overhauled the engine and stripped the S1 back to the frame before rebuilding it café style. It’s now got clip-ons, an H1 swingarm and rear wheel (for a wider tire), and longer shocks to create a more aggressive stance. Given that triples are inherently asymmetrical, Halcott also moved the taillight off to one side and did the same with the headlight arrangement. ‘Its personality changes as you walk around the bike,’ he says. It’s a dark and moody personality, and I love it. [Images by Todd Blubaugh.]
PS: Deus Ex Machina, the Sydney-based custom motorcycle builder, has been served with a notice to cease its popular motorcycle gatherings in the car park opposite the workshop. This is after a single complaint from a neighbor in what is a busy commercial area. Deus has set up a petition to gather support—if you’re a motorcycle fan, please take a minute to sign it here.

Burlesque

今年荷李活有一套電影叫做Burlesque,雖然我還沒有看,但留意到是Cher跟Christina Aguilera主演的,是Christina Aguilera,噢!正呀!

電影香港譯名叫做艷舞巨星。說到艷舞,我們可能輕易會聯想到脫衣舞,鋼管舞,把衣服脫光光,甚至是淫業,但其實所謂的「Burlesque」不只是那麼表面的咸濕show。若你嚐試翻查字典,Burlesque一字的中文解釋並不是豔舞,而是滑稽戲。Burlesque其實早在17世紀於歐洲已出現,原本是一些多元化的表演,包括香頒(一種法國傳統歌曲)、喜劇、默劇、跳舞女郎等,大多數表演都是為了引人發笑的。經過百多年的演變,英式的Burlesque於維多利亞時期傳入了美洲大陸(即19世紀中),在紐約開始受到歡迎,而且結合了當時同樣流行的「大腿秀」和滑稽戲,成為了美國式的Burlesque,亦逐漸將焦點放到脫衣舞女郎的環節上。





在20世紀初曾流行一時的Burlesque,到了30、40年代開始式微了。直到90年代出現了回歸熱,出現了Neo-Burlesque。新的表演模式在形式上放寬了很多,可以任意加入一些摩登的元素,而且更著重脫衣和挑逗,舞台服飾和背景道具亦更誇張。現在Burlesque已經成為了一種復古的娛樂表演活動,即使如每年一度的Rockabilly盛會Viva Las Vegas,都加入了Burlesque比賽的一環,勝出者會成為該年的Miss VLV。





我未有機會現場看過,很想真的去看一下,在這個時代欣賞這種表演,重點並不是色情,我們所持的眼光,應該是看看表演者如何花心思在這種傳統表演藝術之上吧。

Bikers and their lifestyle

睇第一段.


dirtyboogie其實起初攪目的都係想身邊既朋友有機會去體驗一下 RETRO的lifestyle.
你唔聽下ROCKABILLY, 又點知咩係ROCKABILLY? 你唔騎下車, 又點知BIKER有幾爽?
睇下張相, 睇下MAGAZINE既STYLING點著, 就會成為BIKER?
可能你一路行路一邊扮HARLEY ENGINE聲會BIKER好多.

後來發現要攪STYLING PHOTO.....我自己就十個不願去搵個MODEL連電單車有幾多個轆都唔知既MODEL去穿我地既野.
不過搵個真BIKER去又唔夠易入屋. 唉.


其實, 我都唔知點解要禁造作.
好多magazine將biker的lifestyle神化了, "美"化了.
其實原本被叫做biker既biker, 米就係一班有野唔做, 騎住架車周圍去既人罷.

m&m customs 72 cb500 cafe

Mike McFadden sent in this slice of awesome pie the other day to feast your eyes on. Here's a few words on the build...

This is my first build sort of a flat tracker café hybrid. I purchased the bike from a guy who had it sitting in his apartment and knew nothing about bikes. I got it for $200.00, and I’ve done everything you see here from the boxing of the frame to the metal work and paint. The tank is off of a cb750 and everything thing else is garage made.
