Last weekend saw the 5th Wheels and Waves event in the town of Biarritz on the French south west coast, the town is only but a stones throw from the Spanish border. Its a great place, all sort of 1920's Agatha Christie French Riviera. Add a healthy surf culture to the mix and you have a unique and interesting town. The show takes place over 4 days, there is an art and motorcycle exhibition in an amazing building that saw some late night parties too. Some very rare, exotic machinery was loaned out by the BMW museum too. Over on the other side of Biarritz is a lighthouse, this was the main meeting place for the two big rides of the weekend. It was also where the vendors were located along with late night music and again, more partying. Both places were open to public over the 4 days. Thursday was the informal surf contest, boards were loaned out and a lot of people got involved. Friday was a 50km ride out to the nearest mountain over the Spanish border. The organisers, Vincent and his bike club, The Southsiders, managed to get permission to close down a half mile section of mountain road for 5 hours next to some old ruins. That's where the racing took place, it was a great spectacle. 2 bikes at a time raced the far from straight road in a sort of drag/street competition. They managed to get a dj up there too with a PA who played records out of his modified VW bus. Throw in free beers and a BBQ and you had the perfect afternoon. Saturday was the 250km ride out over yet more stunning mountain roads in France and again Spain. A very relaxed day if you don't count some sections of road that where pretty challenging, I was very kindly loaned a Guzzi Eldorado for the time I was there, a great machine for sure but it didn't like to be pushed around the twistys too much. So much fun it was. One or two gits on Cafe racers cutting you off on tight bends too was not cool either, dicks, However, apart from that it was yet another perfect day with no particular time to be anywhere. The final icing on the cake on the Sunday was a free brunch in a bar/cafe around a pool in the sunshine. Man, what a fantastic time it was. More pics coming soon.

DicE X Cycle Zombies X Electric
We have had a lot of people asking us what will come with the 50 special 'Cycle Zombies' Issue / Issue 56! We don't want to give too much away but one thing we can tell you is that a few weeks back the Cycle Zombies crew got together for a day of backyard watch making in their California home. Teaming up with Electric, they hand died 50 watch bands which then had the Electric FW01 face attached. The result is 50 high quality, one of a kind pieces...and this is only one of the things that come with it. Stay tuned people!

Dice and Show Class Issue Release Party and Bike Show, August 31st.
This one is going be amazing. Bike show in the daytime, party in the evening. All taking place at Rays Evergreen Tavern in Saint Charles, IL. Right after the Davenport Swap Meet too, which is only up the road. Just saying.
Paris. 9am.
Here I am lucky enough to be spending some time in one of the worlds great cities. Tonight is the European Dice issue 56 release party but before that we are having a 50 km ride around Paris. It was raining cats and dogs at 8am this morning but by the time everyone took off at about 10 the skies had cleared. A great turn out despite the weather. Good coffee and very nice people too. It doesn't get much better that this. In France if you are going on a ride with more than 7 bikes you have to inform the police, they will then either allow the ride or not. If they do indeed agree they supply a couple of outriders. Today was just that with the exception of two plain clothes cops in cars thrown in for good measure. What a complete waste of the taxpayers money. Politicians, no matter what country, are a collection of overpaid, ignorant, underachieving arseholes!
It must be said that most people here don't bother to inform the cops if they are going on a ride with a group of people, the basic attitude being 'fuck that!' which I applaud wholeheartedly. However because of the large numbers today and the fact that the cops have nothing better to do, being a national holiday today, than arresting bikers in groups of over 7, Filo thought it prudent to do the right thing. By the way, all of this is thanks to that man. Filo, you are a star!
