Custom Builds

‘No. 40’ | SurfSide Motorcycle Garage | Sydney, NSW
Most custom shops would count their lucky stars to have one world class bike builder on their roster. Some have big dreams in the field but they end up just bolting on aftermarket parts and calling it a day. And that’s because proper customs take a whole truckload of engineering chops and real-world experience to ensure that you aren’t sending customers out on a bike that just doesn’t work, or worse still, one that isn’t safe to ride.

‘No. 55 Production Racer’ | Royale Motorcycles | Hamilton, NZ
Saying that New Zealanders are good with motorcycles is like saying that the sun is hot or that fried chicken is delicious; unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 50 years, you’ll already know this. After all, how many other countries have produced the likes of Burt Munro and John Britten? Talk about punching above their weight. And in that vein, Hamilton’s Royale Motorcycles thought they’d shake things up a little with their new Royal Enfield Busted Knuckles 2022 entry.

‘Dr. No’ | Fast Fuel Motorcycles | Albury, NSW
Albury is a funny old town. Less of a destination and more of a place that’s in between things, it sits on the border of Australia’s two most populous states. On a good day, the place would have more people pass through it than actually live there; to call it ‘bustling’ is probably to understate things dramatically. So it goes without saying that getting around the town is crucial to most residents, but it’s also fair to say that there’s now one resident that seems to be doing it in a lot more style than everyone else.

‘RevElation’ | Revelry Cycles | Sydney, NSW
Love makes people do some pretty crazy things at times. For regular joes, expensive gifts, flowers and bad poetry are par for the course. Or maybe you’re a ‘public displays of affection’ type who’ll perform a love song you wrote yourself? Whatever the case, it all sounds a bit cringy doesn’t it? Well for Will and Santina Keith – the husband and wife team at Sydney’s Revelry Cycles – they seem to have taken this love thing to a whole new level.

‘Regency’ | MotoMAX | Perth, WA
Those who have been lucky enough to have visited the city of Perth in Australia’s South West will no doubt notice just how the desert environment there sets the tone for the city. Like Los Angeles, it really defines the whole place with it’s amazing weather, dry climate and numerous great beaches. It’s also lucky enough to have those amazing ocean sunsets that the rest of the east coast cities miss out on. And just like Los Angeles – a real moto mecca for the sport of scrambling – access to offroad riding opportunities in Perth is not exactly lacking.

New Land Speed Record Holder
The Mid Life Cycles Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Salt Racer has smashed the class record at the annual Speed Week run at Lake Gairdner, South Australia.
