Hammarhead Industries

We’re huge fans of James Hammarhead’s creations. He chooses donor bikes with charm and ability—such as Triumph Bonnevilles and Urals—and injects a major dash of style and functionality. Grant Ray, then creative director of Hell For Leather (now RideApart), captured the spirit of these machines with a photo essay recording a day of hardcore offroad riding.

Hammarhead himself sums it up perfectly: “For me, this mixture of queasy empowerment is the primal state that motorcycles can induce, shattering the lethargy of an anxiety prone post-modern life. In fact, everything Hammarhead creates is an exploration of the uncomfortable, electric affirmation that happens when a motorcycle reminds us that we are alive.”

If that strikes a chord with you, pick a wallpaper and hold the thought.

Pierrick Jégou

One of the most charming European motorcycle events is the Montée Historique du Montaigu, an informal race meeting open to both motorcycles and sidecars. It’s held in a small town 450 kilometers south-west of Paris, and this year, it’s the 40th anniversary. To celebrate, the Parisian designer Pierrick Jégou has created a set of stylish, vintage-themed posters—and a range of wallpapers exclusively for Bike EXIF readers. Pop them on your desktop for an instant dash of retro moto style.
