NEW VICTORY AD

I'm quite fond of Victory motorcycles (well, the ones that look like bikes and not like neon starships), but I'm kinda uneasy about this new advertising video...

WALL OF DEATH

British filmmaker Benedict Campbell, who was responsible for the 'Same stance, New generation' Harley commercial we posted last month, is making a film about the Wall of Death. Here's a taste...

LIVING THE DREAM PORTUGAL

A heads up to Pat and Rik who pursued a dream and ran away to the circus central Portugal, and who will be known to you from their past lives when Pat was the editor of another UK custom bike magazine and Rik had a trike which definitely wasn't a bus. As well as growing enviable amounts of vegetables and drinking lots of wine, they now offer bed and breakfast accommodation at ridiculously cheap prices. They're situated near the market town of Figueiro dos Vinhos which is a couple of hours from Lisbon, and, from the end of September through to 31st March 2012, they're offering accommodation for virtually nothing. Mara's Cottage, a self-contained two hundred-year-old building, has a carved antique bed, ensuite bathroom, fitted kitchenette and is close to the pool. They also have a luxury fitted caravan with stunning views of the forest and use of the pool. For the next five months, it will cost you just 15 euros a night to stay in Mara's Cottage, or a paltry 10 euros for the caravan (hell, that's less than a campsite and a damn sight more comfortable!). And, even better, Pat offers evening meals of three courses, wine and coffee for a giveaway 7.50 euros per person - most of the produce will have been grown by the couple (down to the olive oil), and Pat is a great cook.

Whether you're planning a getaway over Christmas, or a long weekend, you'll get a really warm welcome. Yes, I know I'm sounding like a travel commercial, but these are genuine people who believe in what they do and in not ripping folk off. And they're damn good company too.

NO JUKE

It's not often I get annoyed about an ad, but I really find the latest from Nissan to advertise its 'Juke' exceptionally distasteful. No doubt some clever PR agency thought it amusing and tongue-in-cheek...

But I'm not sure what Pete is going to think of Mike Pye's description... :)

FLAKE & FRAMES

A teaser for the forthcoming documentary by renowned pinstriper and artister Jesper Bram and super-good photographer Dirk Behlau, both very cool guys.

GER CONLON

Cracking video of the wonderful Mr Ger Conlon of C&C Choppers, being interviewed by Bob Kay of AMD (a man I once had to apologise to for swearing too much...) Ger, you are a star.
