Babes of Born Free 7

Born Free is an incredible and unique show. I don’t believe this show could exist anywhere other than Southern California: the birthplace of Kustom Kulture. With the weather this year being in the 90s and Oak Canyon Ranch being nestled right into a little windless zone: we were all stripping our unnecessary layers right quick. My Granddad had a wandering eye and must have passed it right on to me, cause I had a hard time focusing on the bikes after that. Here are a few of the standout babes, as well as a couple of other interesting personalities from the show.

This dude won best outfit, hands down. Really good grasp on what’s hip in the chopper scene these days.

Dainese’s 36060: Cooper Shoes

If Function and Form met in a bar, had a few too many, and decided to take the party upstairs, you’d have Dainese’s 36060 lineup of functional and stylish riding apparel. Not only are Dainese’s new Cooper Shoes ($199.99) easy on the eyes, but they’re made to take the brunt of the tarmac should you take a spill. Made from top-quality-constructed full-grain leather enhanced by special wax and hand-brushing treatments that provides a vintage look blended with safety features so you get the best of the function and form world. The Coopers were also designed with integrated rigid heel inserts and a leather gear shifter protector. Now that’s attention to detail!

Pretty Fly for a CityFly: Dream Wheels’ Honda CLR125

Pretty Fly for a CityFly: a cute Honda CLR125 scrambler from Portugal.
As far as we’re concerned, small capacity bikes don’t get enough love. They’re frugal, cheap to run and can go about anywhere (if you have the patience). So they’re usually relegated to commuter or courier duties.

Hélder Moura of Dream Wheels Heritage sees potential for more—especially in Portugal, where Dream Wheels is based. There, you can ride anything up to 125cc with just a car driver’s license.

“This is definitely a new market that could become quite interesting,” says Hélder, “and so far we have not seen many examples in the world of custom builds.”

Dream Wheels’ latest foray into the little bike scene is this 2001-model Honda CityFly CLR125. The CityFly shares the popular XLR125’s ultra-reliable 124cc power plant, but it has slightly more ‘urban’ styling.

This particular CityFly was acquired from a pizza delivery guy, before Dream Wheels set about transforming it. “The style we want to give this build was a scrambler for the city,” says Hélder. “We wanted functionality, and lines that are a mix of new and old.”

This meant a pretty radical transformation. For starters, Dream Wheels straightened out the CityFly’s awkward lines with a 1990 Yamaha FS1 tank, and a custom-made subframe and seat. The tank needed some restoration work, and its filler cap’s been customized further with an old fridge magnet.

Dream Wheels also fabricated a set of fenders and side covers, and a new battery box (there’s a small gel battery inside). The inverted forks are from RMX50; they’ve been rebuilt, re-sprung and lowered. And the rear shock’s been lowered to match.

A Yamaha XS400 donated its 18” front wheel and disc brake, while an 18” Rexfelgen rim (a brand made by Excel) was laced up at the rear. Both are wrapped in Heidenau K67 trials rubber.

On the maintenance side, the CLR’s engine needed a bit of a refresh and a new coat of paint. There’s a new transmission, new brake and spark plug lines and a K&N air filter. The chunky silencer is a rebuilt, second-hand FMF Mega Max II unit, fed by a hand-made header.

Scrambler-esque running gear includes a set of Renthal bars, and an enduro-style headlight, with a yellow lens and a number board. Dream Wheels also fitted a LED taillight, a smaller speedo and a set of mini-switches from Blitz Motorcycles.

Pitta Designs executed the skate-influenced paint job on the tank and side covers, offset by the brown saddle, and brown finishes on the engine, brakes and forks. As a finishing touch, Dream Wheels used red spoke nipples for the rear wheel, a red plug lead, and painted the rear shock spring.

As if this little CityFly wasn’t cool enough already, it also comes with a removable skateboard rack.

Perfect for lazy rides down to the beachfront.
