If you're looking for a nice alternate to the English ribbed fender at a fraction of the price Britilia Imports has these NOS beauties for $49.99 on Ebay HERE. I'm guessing there are at least 10-15 left?

Chris Staab's 1949 "Fairy Duster" Panhead Street Chopper Feature
Clean lines and smooth molding grace this panhead with dream-like paint. It was my favorite entry at the 2010 Grand National Roadster Show. Check out the complete article HERE and pick up a copy at your local bookstore/shop!

1897 Mercedez Benz Coupe
Though not a hot rod or custom I was intrigued by this old Benz that was at my cousin's wedding yesterday. She and her husband rode off in this ancient auto, or at least for a little ways down the road. Check out the craftsmanship on this rig, such as the bowtie door handles and crazy gear shift column!

Street Chopper's Gary Littlejohn Interview
I just picked up the new Street Chopper Magazine yesterday and probably read through the thing for 45 minutes before making the purchase. My two favorites were the Gary Littlejohn article, shown HERE, as well as a nice feature on Chris Staab's "Fairy Duster" panhead and some other cool bikes features and a couple of technique articles. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy, and if you're looking to buy one and are overseas I would probably just contact Street Chopper through their website.
Scott Craig Built Pre-unit Rigid For Sale on Ebay
The old tangerine and pink pre-unit triumph Scott Craig built back in the late 90's is up for sale on Ebay through the Garage Company. This bike definitely got me interested in customs when I saw at a show put on by Century Cycles back somewhere around 2001-2003 when it had the rear black wall tire and straight header pipes. Check it out HERE as well as the other jems Yoshi has for sale!

Leather Boys - 1965
A decent movie covering the '60s Brit Ace Cafe Ton-Up scene though the gay innuendo story line is a bust. If you like Cafe Racers there are some decent ones in this film.
