World Rider's Network

The goal of the World Rider's Network is to create a place where we can all talk, share our motorcycle experiences, and connect with others from all across the globe through our common bond of motorcycles; regardless of what you ride, regardless of your riding experience, and regardless of your native language.

The WRN is aimed at getting bikers together via any means possible. This means we would ideally have more than one medium of communication. Along with a web forum, Tumblr, and a Facebook page, we would like to produce a magazine of a sort. This magazine would have coverage of rides and events that have effected the WRN or involved members of the WRN in some way. This magazine would be a huge team effort, with the vast majority of all content coming in directly from our members, and left as unedited as possible while creating reading material that can be wide spread.

Our hope is to embark on a California to New York City and back in about a three week period on motorcycles, as a sort of initiation of the WRN. What we need to make this successful are enthusiastic and willing business owners, fellow bikers, bike enthusiasts, and just friends in general that will help us along the way to make the trip possible. That is really the emphasis of the WRN. Bikers helping bikers wherever they go. We are a community with great potential when the divisions of brands and riding style are removed. If you'd like to contribute to our first WRN venture, have a business that you'd like to promote that's motorcycle related, or you'd just like to ride along for a part of the way, let us know! We'd be ecstatic to bring in as many other bikers into this project as we can.

Best regards,

Your Partners at the World Riders Network (Nick and Marc)
garageprojectmotorcycles: In December 2011, I was contacted by Paolo from RIDERS Magazine in Italy after he saw The Brat on BikeEXIF. He was interested in doing a story on the bike. “nessun problema” I said, and answered a few of Paulo’s questions. I then waited for it to hit the magazine. Bingo, check it out, page 17 of the February issue. un problema, it’s in Italian. Mmmmm….who do I know who speaks Italian? Luke Inazuma of Inazuma Cafe Racer fame that’s who! - (Luke is the man behind the #1 Italian Motorcycle blog in the universe and is worth following even if you can’t read a word of it. There is always a good quantity of quality pics on his blog.) NOTE: This is Luke’s translation of the article in RIDERS magazine. I haven’t edited it or tried to fix the transation issues. Main article One day they will have a properly furnished café in workshop style, vintage T-shirts, surfboards hanged at the walls, and gearless bicycles, as expensive as a motorcycles. But, at the moment they are only two hearts and a workshop in Perth, Australia, and a meaningful name: Garage Project Motorycles. The bikes built by Rex Havoc and Brad Petrevic speak a raw language and talk about minimal, and they respect their roots: the Japanese influence of the Brat Style atelier and the one of the smart colleagues of Deus Motorcycles are declared. (The influence is) declared to the extent that they name “The Brat” (la monella) this Honda CB350, which is the business card of the garage, and it seems just landed from Osaka. Talking about names, Havoc in English means chaos, ruin, destruction (Really? I didn’t know! Ndt). Sloppy, at least. The two guys changed any single piece of the CB, without saving even the pressed steel frame, which has been substituted with a single cradle frame in steel tubes, (which is) nicely quick and, basically, hardtail, given that the quite streets of Perth do not require more than 9 cm of shock excursion. But the real fun is on the details. The Rizoma rear mirror is bolted directly on the wheel hub. The very short intake air ducts are connected to the standard carburettors via two flanges with stellar fins identical to those of the exhaust. You better call the latter arquebuses as the muffles only are one meter long and the gun-ends are enriched by a beautiful brass bush. Rex Havoc stormed his creativity also on the top parts: see the drag bar with bicycle handles and reversed levers, or the Nippodenso gauge with the speed limits signals. The nice bit of this low rider is that it’s strange but not unreachable. You need a minimal budget, to know the right craftsmen, and to have time to waste in your garage. Havoc fished its CB350 on e-bay for the equivalent of 1,200 euro, but the work is quantified 10,000. A big deal, if you consider the Italian prices. Side column Enjoy the little things (il piacere sta nelle piccole cose) is what Rex Havoc made to engrave on the Morad aluminium wheels. Even it doesn’t seem so, the tank is original. The pinstriping is a tribute to Rex’s favourite Japanese artist, Nanami Cowdroy. Also the lightening work performed on the front brake is an intelligent, creative and aesthetically dazzling way to find solutions where they are: under your eyes. A big thank you to Paulo Somani of Riders Magazine for the article and Luke from Inazuma Cafe Racer for the translation.
