Passionata When we think of Italy we automatically think of tasty food and wine, exotic cars, expensive motorcycles, cappuccino, designer clothes, and temperament. It is safe to say that in Italy, they live their lives in a different flow. It is for that same reason most people fall in love with […]

Tough as Nails If you see the man in real-life, it is quite easy to feel intimidated by his sheer size in both length and width. The long hairy beard adds to the tough-guy-factor as well. But honestly, the reality couldn’t be more different. Nick Keen is the exact opposite of […]

Born to be a builder This is a story about a board tracker unlike any you have ever seen before. Created by a genius, as far as we’re concerned, a new kid on the block if you will. His name is Luuc Muis, and he is the founder and owner of […]

Shortly after my arrival, I discovered a ‘just opened’ local motor shop called ‘Irons Café Racer’ ran by Miguel and his wife Natalia. Their little helper being an […]

Not the first time Last year a guy by the name Bob Kelly called Sean Skinner, the top-gun and at Motorelic, couldn’t stop raving about a previously built 1979 Kawasaki KZ he saw on the internet. He asked if he could ship a donor bike and get started. At first his thought […]

BikeBrewers scoop ‘maiden ride’ The Tamarit team from Spain have their very own view on custom building. In a relatively short period of time the Alicante based workshop have managed to carve out a very special niche in the world of customization. Their 81st build is yet again proof of their […]

A long time ago I worked for an American boss. When I stopped drinking coffee he asked me: “why?” I replied I thought coffee made me aggressive. He laughed out loud and told me I might as well start drinking coffee again. “Man, you were BORN aggressive!” he said. This is probably […]

‘Crazy for building MAD stuff’ The city of Roosendaal in the south of the Netherlands harbours a small outfit run by a big (1.96m) guy. I got to know Daan Borsje a couple of years ago when we were both sitting in a jury for a build off competition. Daan is […]

Sometimes you come across bikes that just put the hook in you. Christian Forward’s 1994 Triumph Trident is definitely one of those builds that brings out the greed in me. Everything inside me screams “I want it!’. I can hardly imagine anyone disagreeing with me after perusing the pictures. This bike […]

Iconic Czech beer brand Budweiser Budvar and BOLT motorcycles – the UK’s coolest custom bike workshop and apparel store – have completed an epic European road trip from London to Budweis in the Czech Republic on a custom-built, beer-inspired motorbike. The 1000-mile road trip, Budweis or Bust, saw BOLT owner, Andrew […]

It has been quite a while since Triumph Motorcycles announced the introduction of the Bobber Black and the all-new Speedmaster. It is all very nice to receive warming news like this during winter, but the wait until you can actually ride the bikes is long. A little while ago we got […]

Art in progress This very well known Dutch Master of Customizing has waved his magic wand over this bike and turned it into a pure piece of art. BikeBrewers were offered the opportunity to tame this wild stallion and after seeing pictures of it online, we did not have to think […]

Industrial Moto’s first build was a 250 Suzuki cafe racer. It was purchased locally in Virginia by a guy who had never ridden a motorcycle before. Since that time he has completed a motorcycle trip across Vietnam and put many miles on his Suzuki closer to home. When he decided it […]
