Shinya Kimura – Motorcycle Mechanic

I posted a video about Shinya Kimura a little while back now and I’ve just found this new one posted a few days ago. Shinya thinks of himself as a mechanic. Personally, I think he’s a genius. The idea’s he has and the ability he possesses to make those ideas reality is incredible.

Road Trip to Austin

Road Trip to Austin

Jason Finn of Pedal Consumption has recently been on a mega Road Trip from Portland, OR to Austin, TX on his motorbike with Chester Blacksmith of Wethepeople.

From my calculations, the shortest mileage for this journey is just over 2,000 miles but i reckon they went off the beaten track and Jason has been taking photo’s all the way.

Check out his Tumblr for all the updates. From what i’ve seen, it looks like they’ve had a great time on the road.

Flattrack Coffee

Flattrack Coffee

Last week, Prolly posted some photo’s from the fantastic Flattrack Coffee in Austin, TX. I’ve followed these guys on Instagram and I’ve heard nothing but great things about their coffee. They have the best combination of great coffee and motorbikes/push irons in their shop.

Recently, I tried to buy some coffee from them but unfortunately, due to insane shipping prices I was unable to get any. Gutted isn’t even the word so if anyone has anyway of getting some of this coffee to me, let me know.

Head on over to Prolly’s post to see more of his photos and check out the Flattrack coffee website to read more.

English Cycles Time Trial Mk2

English Cycles Time Trial Mk2

Winner of the ‘Best in Show’ category at the 2013 North American Handmade Bike Show (NAHBS), the English Cycles made Time Trial Mk2 is a thing of beauty and technical prowess combined.

I saw quite a few photo’s of this bike dotted around the internet on various Instagrams and blogs, but i’ve only just found the full gallery of photos.

English Cycles have shown what excellence can be created from custom made steel bikes. The straight as an arrow look is stunning and the components attached are perfect.

Massan Macaframa 2013

Remember a while back when I posted the video of Massan smashing a dirty, great big hill and blasting through I don’t know how much tyre and shoe?? (Click here if you don’t) Well here’s another video of the legend that is Massan, blitzing some more hills for your viewing pleasure.

Filmed last fall in Brisbane, this is the first of a lot of online content coming out this year before the official Maca2 gets underway. Enjoi.

Needless to say, I’m excited about Maca2… it’s pretty much definite that it’ll be awesome and it looks like it’s coming sometime this year! Stoked!

3rd Birthday T-Shirt

3rd Birthday T-Shirt

I have no idea how this little blog has reached this point, everyday I wake up and expect everyone who reads it to have just disappeared, but you’re all still here and Deaf Pigeon is turning 3 at the end of this month… 3!!

To say thanks to everyone who’s helped make this blog what it is and to have something to show for the occasion, I’ve decided to release a 3rd Birthday t-shirt to commemorate it.

It’s not been printed yet but it will be very soon, but I’ll only be getting a short run of them done, so if you’re interested, please let me know (and include the size you’d like) in the comments below so I can get a general idea of how many I’ll need. It’ll probably cost somewhere between £12 and £15 depending on a few different things, so I’ll let you know more ASAP.

It’s been designed by the awesome Sam Dunn, go check out her work, she’s insanely good!

Here is the t-shirt… a lot of people have asked me to get another black t-shirt done, so I’ve listened and decided that it’s the best option.

Many thanks to everyone, you’re all awesome and I love that DP is continuing and growing daily… without you, this whole thing would be pointless.

2013 T-Level Lookbook

2013 T-Level Lookbook

T-Level have just released their 2013 lookbook and I must say that I do like what I see. I know a few people who have T-Level bags and they seem pretty strong and durable, so I hope this has stayed across the new range.

These new designs for 2013 also seem to have switched from a relatively solid, bicycle dominated and functional style to something completely different. Not that I’m complaining, the new Aztec style roll-top looks really nice.

See more of the new range over at Hypebeast, and you can also head on over to the new T-Level site when they’re released.

And the winner is…

And the winner is...

Massive thanks to all entries into our Grim Bags competition. I’ve absolutely loved reading all of them. From threats to kill puppies to someone who’s planning on riding to the Moon, there was (in total) 20 brilliant entries.

With all this said though, there has to be one winner, someone who I believe deserves this bag based on a selection of reasons. This lucky, lucky person is…

JOSH KNILL!!!

… with his awesome entry posted below.

Thank you to everyone who entered, you’re all amazing and from the number of entries to this competition, I’ll definitely be doing more in the future as I love giving away things to people who need them.

Congratulations Josh, hope you enjoy the bag and get a lot of use out of it, and before I forget, happy birthday for last Friday, and hope I’ve managed to help out.
