Yesterday I went to the open party of my former partners and friends from FTF Motorcycles. It was a really good party! Lots of friends, live concerts, some nice cars and bikes, beer...
 
I wish you luck in the new business, mates!

Mondo Biker - 74

 
I'm very happy to announce that next May, Mondo Biker magazine has published a report of the Bluey.
 



I know Luis and Joseba for some time now. 4 years ago they came to take some pics for another illustrated report to the Ducaster of the "Horse" while we worked in our old workshop "The Horse Crew".I commented that I was working on my sporty (I was checking the engine and the frame was naked) Unfortunately, after I had the accident in which I broke my tibia, fibula and femur (coincidentally also in May) and everything stopped. Operations, rehab...and the rest is the story of this blog since the first day. Luckily the guys from Mondo Biker are people who keep their word.
 
I'm very grateful!

FTF Motorcycles

 
In the late last year, the official dealer H-D Castellon, closed its doors and my former workmates, Ximo and Alex decided to open his own workshop.
Of course FTF means... Fuck The Factory!
 
 
This Saturday will celebrate the opening party. I'm sure it will be great!!
Good luck with this new challenge!

Speed Fest 2013

The last weekend was celebrated the Speed ​​Fest, organized by Marcos from Free Kustom Cycles and the American Car Club Cataluña (AM.C.C.C.) in Castellar del Valles (Barcelona) and as I wasn't far away, I couldn't miss it.

With the participation of people like MHC Workshop (France), Bobber Still Works, Café Racer Obsession, Mad Crow Garage...among others. In my opinion I consider it the best party ever in Spain.
 
 

















 
 
 
Von Palami from Palami Kustom Artworks, was the creator of the official poster for this year. 
Another souvenir for the cave.wall. 
Pleased to meet you, mate!!
 

Lapse time...

More than six months without writing a few words here. During this time I had to be away from my cave, the sea, friends...
Luckily, I come back for a few days from time to time.


I moved towards the interior of Catalonia, where the weather is cold in Winter...(Brrrr). There, I set out to create a course for teenagers for about 2 months. The idea was simple, the teenagers bring their old bike or maybe from a relative or friend, forgotten for years in a storage room or garage and give them a new life...bizarre bikes, choppers or maybe a fixie (creation was free). I decided name it "Cycle-trash project". Unfortunately the organization who offered me to give the course didn't give me many means to carry out.

The rest of the time wasn't very funny, far from my cave and the tools, although I've been seeing some curious things and exhibitions around the Barcelona province during these six months.

And also I went to a party at DC Embassy in Barcelona city, called "Keepin' it greasy" organized by the people from Garage Artist (Great people!) and DC shoes. It was very cool... BBQ, beer, nice people, motorcycles, skate and movies from Kingdom of Kicks, Dime City Cycles, Dice Magazine and many more.


 ...was a fantastic jump with skateboard on the bike! Shit phone!!
 



Also I received a message from Luis (Mondo Biker Magazine) and meet in February to take some pics to the Bluey, so I came home for a couple weeks to prepare everything and also hang out with my friends, ride with the bicycle early in the morning...




I miss watching this every morning, but ...I'll come back soon!!
