Two weeks ago something special happened at @petersenmuseum@macchinissima brought together, cars, people, and a whole lot of passion – and it wouldn’t have been possible without our sponsors, friends collaborators and everyone who showed up just to enjoy the day.
This is our visual love letter to that day.
Grazie mille to everyone involved.
Special thanks to the content team :

CONTRA CONCEPT • Out//takes
There was so much to choose from so we wanted to share a few more from the collection.
We love the process so outtakes are always fun to share.
Hope you guys enjoyed this campaign. We absolutely had tons of fun doing it.

Thomas builds cocktails the way some people build their day — with intention, seasonality, and a deep respect for the classics.
His bar is a daily ritual of fresh produce, timeless techniques, and the quiet thrill of subtle reinvention.
Every drink has a reason. Every garnish, a story.
@thetikithomas doesn’t create cocktails. He assembles small edible philosophies disguised as happy hour.
If it grows, he’ll use it. If it’s classic, he’ll twist it. If it’s too trendy, he’ll politely decline.

The Curious Compendium
A slow dance of glances, gestures, and quiet genius.
Here, bartenders stir like conductors, musicians tune like philosophers, and painters lose time the way poets lose sleep.
They work in plain sight — yet somehow remain a mystery.
This is our attempt to pay attention. To document the delightful peculiarities of people who shape the atmosphere, one small act at a time.
Episodes begin soon.

We took a moment during the shoot to really study both bikes—listening to the way they sounded, tracing the lines, shapes, and details. What we found was a shared spirit in character and passion, but completely different executions. That’s the heart of Contra Concept—same base, two worlds.

The Curious Compendium
A semi-reliable field guide to fascinating humans and the beautiful things they do — sometimes in plain sight, often unnoticed.
Think of it as a cinematic bird watching journal — only the birds are bartenders, painters, musicians, and other delightful eccentrics.
No plot. No morals. Just character, craft, and a healthy respect for the ritual.
Coming soon to a screen very, very close to your face.

We’d been talking about shooting these two bikes together for a while—and it finally happened.
Though completely different in style, both @maxwellhazan and @kullyco approached their builds with the same spirit: pushing boundaries, just like Eric Buell originally set out to do. Introducing CONTRA CONCEPT—a project that brings two visions, one platform, and a whole lot of creative energy into one story.
Thank you @alpinestars for the drip support.

HF355 • Sound Check
Turn up your volume because you’re gonna want to hear this. Probably the most insane bike next to the Turbo Motus. Here is the first start-up session. Wild.
