Wax magazine

Not sure what to think about this magazine start-up, but I like their website. There are some cool pictures in the "Finds" section and the website's background color changes based on the NY water temperature. Pretty clever, urban surfers.

STEVE MCQUEEN’S BAJA BOOT


“I’ve lined me up a sweet machine for this one called the ‘Baja Boot.’ Chevy powered. Four hundred and fifty horses under the bonnet. Space frame construction. Four-wheel drive. Independant suspension. And ‘smooth’! I can notch close to a hundred over a sand wash and you better believe that’s moving.”

Steve McQueen
Stardust 7-11′ off-road race in June 1968

Adventures in motorcycling: Richmond

I rode to Richmond last week to meet up with 2 fine gentlemen, Jeff Harper and Brad Hall. Despite threatening weather and mechanical trouble, it was a blast to hit the road and spend some time w/these dudes. 


We meet in the belly of the beast. RVA arteries.
Velocity Vintage has some cool stuff.
 Mr. Hall.
"That didn't sound good." Mechanical failure.
 Mr. Harper.
 Mr. Harper getting shady.

Whatchu know bout luv baby
