Cavendish outgunned by Wingman Renshaw

Fuel Up: 21 Sept 2011
We love anything Wingman related, spotted this article on Cavendish by ESPN.

“Mark Cavendish was forced to play second fiddle to wingman Mark Renshaw after being beaten by his team-mate on Stage Five of the Tour of Britain.

Renshaw, best known as Cavendish’s lead-out man, outpaced his team-mate to win the sprint at the end of the 111.8mile route from Exeter to Exmouth.

Cavendish, who won the sprinter’s green jersey on this year’s Tour de France, was forced to settle for second ahead of Robert Forster, while Geraint Thomas was fourth as Team Sky maintained their place at the top of the team standings.

Lars Boom retained the overall race lead after finishing in the same time as Renshaw. Cavendish is 34 seconds off the pace with three stages remaining – the sixth stage takes place on Friday between Taunton and Wells”

Check out this lush Benrus watch!

‘Somehow the move to digital watches and colourful plastic timepieces took the seriousness out of watches. Is this good or bad? You decide for yourself but we are currently rocking out with this 1940 Benrus Sky Chief. Real numbers, real hands, serious black or silver face, a real crown to wind it. Known at its peak as the “Official Watch of Famous Airlines,” it was the official time piece of airline pilots at Delta, KLM, NWA and TWA. You can still find some of the authentic Sky Chiefs, and by forking out a grand or so, you may even be able to own one.’ #NeverFlySolo

Rad Custom Motorbikes

Cool random finds from across the globe #NeverFlySolo

The era of chrome-and-billet choppers is drawing to a close. Even Harley-Davidson dealers are swapping the leather tassels for carbon fiber and murder-black paintjobs. In the UK, a south coast dealer called Shaw Speed and Custom is setting the pace, creating show bikes that win at the world’s top custom motorcycle shows—and beating the Americans at their own game.

In the build-up to the AMD World Championship held at Sturgis, the latest two bikes from SS&C are creating a stir. The ‘Nascafe’ is a low-slung, dragster-influenced machine created in association with the American watch manufacturer Bell & Ross. Embedded in the tank is a $4,000 BR 01 Carbon timepiece, a further touch of originality.

The XLST3 is another radical departure from the norm. Dirt-track tires and race plates give the bike a sporty look rarely seen on Harleys, and the stock suspension has been replaced by high-performance items more commonly seen on superbikes.

Harley-Davidson is taking note too, with a new ‘Dark Custom’ range designed to attract younger, more style-conscious bikers.
