This restored example has been ridden in the Italian Moto Giro in 2010 plus four Australian Giros.

A Jero Wood/Canvas, Shelter for Chrismas
.
The Jero is built to bring adventure to your doorstep. Inspired by the yurt - a portable structure developed by the nomadic people of Central Asia - they’ve taken time-tested principles and refined them using cutting edge design and manufacturing techniques to bring this ancient dwelling into the 21st Century. Its compact pack-size liberates valuable storage space when the yurt is stowed away, while the lightweight construction allows it to be transported in a car with ease.

BMW R75/5 by TON-UP GARAGE
.
This bike represents the children memories of Ton-up Garage client. He contacted the Garage because he saw their BMW Dark Law and he was confortable with their previous experience customizing BMW motorcycles. The R75/5 belonged to his stepfather and he remembered this motorcycle since his childhood. This was a family bike but at some point his stepfather gave the bike to a friend, although his friend left it parked in a garage for years and the bike was really abandoned. He asked Ton-up Garage a vintage style, with refined lines and glamour. They took the R75/5 and completely dismounted it and then rebuild it to the bolt. Pictures were taken by Photographer Aloisio Brito and Ton-up Garage Crew. (http://www.aloisiobrito.com)
