Iron and Resin's 'El Guapo'
If you have a love for things of the past - handmade machines and quality clothing - and Iron and Resin is not on your radar...well, it should be. The Ventura, CA-based boys at Iron and Resin recently posted this stunning hardtail 1956 Triumph T110 pre unit dubbed El Guapo, and rightly so.

Racing in the snow?!
Being from Southern California, we don't get too many snow days 'round these parts. We think it's cold when it drops below 60°F. That being said, watching this Yamaha R1 with spiked tires and Porsche GT3 RS ripping around a snowy track looks like a lot of fun. And it looks cold....really, really cold.

The American :: Deus America
After seeing The American in person at the Emporium of Postmodern Activities grand opening, we couldn't wait to see more. Deus America had already put out their Venice SR500 (featured here) but this is the first full-blown custom build to come out of the 'Emporium'.

BMW Cafe Racer by Team Incomplete
Here at The Bullitt we love some BMW Cafe Racers and when we came across Team Incomplete's build we were blown away. The story of this build started when the owner went down at 70mph and only the wheels, forks and engine were salvageable. After 4 months of staring at the wrecked bike, the owner vowed to restore the Boxer, making it meaner and leaner than its original state.

Drifting
Though it doesn't have much to do with cafe racers, this is a pretty impressive video, demonstrating insane control on a motorbike. Regardless of what you ride, you have to appreciate his ability to make that bike his bitch. Looks like a damn good time to boot!
