Things we’ve spotted on this fine Thursday, before we head off for a week’s break. As we say, this blog is all about posting things we find that we find inspirational, interesting, or just plain amusing (as well as a place to express opinions and thoughts), so we hope some of you out there find these things interesting… or vaguely amusing!

Over at Hell For Leather, we spotted this Norton concept by David Mucci. Based on a 500cc single, the design harks back to old skool cafe racers. We’re liking it.

Then we spotted this ‘break down and pack in a bag’ bike by ‘Freeman‘ (and [here]). Another single speed but the break down aspect coupled together with the total coverage matte olive green paint is an interesting touch. All a little retro, yet cool at the same time.

Finally, we came on this, for the second time. A bike for the Geezer in you… or is that the Gov’nor?

‘Culture x Design x Style’

We pull inspiration from all over the shop. It drives us as designers, to be creative, to keep us ticking. The web is so full of blogs and sites that are great, it’s hard to think where to start. But at the top left of our browsers, we have a folder called ‘Daily Roamings’, and that’s where the really special sites we find go. Why? Because they are sites that we decide are worth looking at every time we fire up in the mornings because they usually have something that gives us that extra spark for the day.

‘Hell For Leather’ is one such site. No, nothing to do with S&M, but everything to do with stuff that goes fast, particularly stuff on two wheels. We love it, enough to actually tell you about it.
