2011 Ton-Up Boys Rockers Ride - Sydney

Some things just don't go together. Like politics and honesty. Aluminum foil and microwaves. And another one I learnt today - lycra and leather. You see, today in sunny Sydney it was one of the bigger motorcycle rides of the year organised on the same day as one of the biggest cycling events of the year. Both groups travelling the same roads. You can see where this is going, right? Unfortunately the organisers didn't. Luckily the very eclectic mix of bikers were a patient bunch and no cyclist got hurt - except a couple of plump people pulling hamstrings. So as per usual we encountered a few problems shooting 'complete' bikes. Loads of people plus loads of bikes in a small area isn't the best equation. So before you ask to see more of the actual bikes (not just the art house tank shots) be assured we have a few features coming up of these bikes and more. So for now, enjoy these tasty entrees...

Or Glory - 21st Century Rockers

A few years ago renowned German photographer Horst A. Friedrichs released a stunning book on Mods called I’m One: 21st Century Mods. Thanks to Friedrichs amazing photography, the book quickly became an international best-seller. Now he has recently launched the Rocker version, titled Or Glory - 21st Century Rockers. The book features ton-up boys and Rockers from around the world – and of course many classic café racers. For a hard cover book of this calibre we were pleasantly surprised to discover it retails for a reasonable $23 on Amazon.
