OSS Party pics Posted Sunday, July 23, 2006 by Mr.7/11
2006 is marked by the huge turn-out from OSS members at organised events, showing the popularity of the website these days. At Santa Pod there were more than 30 bikes at the OSS stand and there were twice that much at the party. Thanks to all who were present, especially those involved into organising the party.

Artkore TL stolen Posted Sunday, July 23, 2006 by Mr.7/11
Both the naive and rational part of me say there's no market for a one-off bike and therefore little reason to steal it. But still it happens to often. Keep your eyes open for satin-black TL1000 parts!

Nasty Paint Competition - RESULT! Posted Sunday, July 23, 2006 by Mr.7/11
About one year ago, top man and long time OSS supporter/sponsor Keith from Nasty Paint offered a helmet paint job to raffle here on OSS. MadKirks was still a "newbie" at the time, but in his short career still managed to bag tickets to the SF show and the Nasty Paint raffle. It took about 200 hours to create the piece of artwork shown below. Give Keith a bell at +44(0)7952-310169 if you want something similar done to your lid.

New French magazine - Extreme Machines Posted Tuesday, July 18, 2006 by Mr.7/11
Our friend Artkore has published the first issue of his new french magazine Extreme Machines. Think of it as the Streetfighters Magazine for the french market, though most bikes and events covered are international. It also has a feature on the Santa Pod show, but makes the same mistake as SFmag not mentioning the OSS stand at all, just a few small pictures of some oldskool suzukis including PP's 7/11.
A missed chance there Antoine :-( ;-)



However even though I don't understand one word of French there's plenty nice pictures to look at, like a very good feature on Butze's Spondon which is July's Bike of the Month.
