It’s Monday, you’re back at work and summer is almost over (although here on the west coast it seems like it might keep going forever). There’s a good chance your motorcycle trips for the season are behind you, and that’s a tough reality to accept, 6 months of grey, cold, snow and rain until we can do it again. So here’s 4 vids to keep you occupied while you remember the good times over the past few months and the adventures yet to come. Sourced from Bolts, 4Q, LLTK and Cycle Zombies.

Stunner of a lookbook from Rapha for f/w 2012 shot by Ben Ingham, who the brand has worked with on projects before. It’s become commonplace for the London cycling lifestyle/performance powerhouse label to present top media on a regular basis now, from short films documenting the beauty, pain and backstories of road riding through to these seasonal lookbooks showcasing much more than product. Cycling is a lifestyle that can consume all so quickly, so if you’re not afflicted with it you may not understand… but those who do, do. More selects from this series after the jump.

New York streetwear original SSUR has released this lookbook for their fall/winter 2012 collection. SSUR is a true OG in this game, the label was there from the start paving the way for all these ‘other’ street lines. The lookbook for f/w 12 was shot by 13th Witness, on location in NYC. Some solid looks, street as fvck, read through for the rest.

Here is a lookbook that I was really stoked to see, Odyn Vovk and his spring/summer 2013 collection. I am really feeling the progression of this brand, always having a dark undertone to the collections but over the last few seasons the collections have moved a bit more into the wearable category. This ss13 collection sees a heavy motorcycle influence as well as the usual black metal styling. Another reason the lookbook is so damn good is that it is shot by the talented Michael Schmidt.

Unis New York have released their new spring/summer 2012 collection, and they recently put together this nice little shoot featuring their Charlie jacket from their ss12 range. The shoot features model Adrianne Ho rocking the Charlie in all her its glory. With photography by Ryan Kibler and creative direction by Jake Davis, this is a great little shoot. I always like pretty girls in good mens basics and this reaffirms those thoughts.

Scott Pommier just finished shooting the latest ad campaign for classic Italian motorcycle manufacturer Moto Guzzi. To accompany the shoot there was a short video edit released as well, with some interesting insight into how Pommier got into motorcycle riding, namely getting arrested … well done as usual with Pommier, he turns out a quality shoot and the nice looking new range from Moto Guzzi don’t hurt at all, my standout being the V7 Racer… read through for a few more.

Short run of flics by the one and only Ricky Powell showcasing XLARGE‘s summer 2012 collection. Timely, as the Powell is perhaps best known for his work with the Beastie Boys, and XLARGE has a long history with the label… peep this vid for more on that, and a few more photos after the jump.

We haven’t been posting a lot lately, for simple reasons: the days are longer, the weather has been amazing on the west coast, and we have too many hobbies. We’ve both been snappin phone pix along the way, thought I would post some to give an insight as to what we’ve been up to. Gonna be an awesome summer, you can follow me via and Brendan as well, more after the jump.
