LET’S GO MOTORBEACH The decision to go to the Motorbeach Festival was easily made. It’s in Spain you know. No further motivation needed. I’m a fan of the country and of it’s inhabitants for a long time. There’s less hypocrisy in Spaniards. They keep their shoulders straight. Less bullshitting. Good people in short. […]
THE NEW HIP THING In Hoyte van Hoytema’s Oscar acceptance speech for Best Cinematography for his work on OPPENHEIMER he made a special mention of the ‘new hip thing called celluloid’. He recommended the analogue stuff, in this case 70 mm film-stock. Maybe it’s hip but also old world. A roll of […]

He reached the respectable age of 91 years.He became famous mostly for directing the film Two Lane Blacktop. Completely deserved, the first time I saw the film I was awe-struck.

WATSON GLOVES, AND WHY WE SELL (AND WEAR) THEM. Whenever I was looking for a pair of affordable motorcycle-gloves, I could never find what I wanted. Sure, there were many around that provided warmth, protection and whatever technical feature you can think of. But they never looked good, and were pricey as well. So when we […]
THE RUMBLE STRONGMAN CUFF Rumble Speed Shop makes another classic available. Les Glòries flea market in Barcelona was where I found my Strongman Cuff. The archetypical, here we go again, wrist-bands for added strength. Used back in the day by bare-knuckle fighters, dock men and acrobats at carnivals. In recent days adopted by motor-riders for […]
RUMBLE MEXICAN SOUVENIR RING I first encountered these crazy beautiful rings in Rin Tanaka’s book: My Freedamn! 5 featuring Rock ‘n’ Roll Fashions from the 1930s to Early 1950s. (See below a photo of several great examples). I had to make a Rumble version. My silversmith friend Rob from Zilverdawn helped me create this ring. […]
