Ride bikes and raise hell . Here's to the hellraisers. The renegades. The rebels who aren't afraid to toss a lit match into the abyss and burn down a new path before them. Here's to those who have courage enough to walk forward into this unknown, blindly and bravely, reaching out into the fire-lit void for something more. To those who put one foot in front of the other upon this scorched and smouldering earth . Here's to the hellbent, the set in their ways, the tough as nail...s, the stubborn, and the steadfast. To those who take no shit, give no quarter, and never give up in their quest for freedom. You know who you are. You know the only way through the madness of life is forward, onward, upward. Stay with the fight. Stay your course. Stay true to yourself. And stay hungry . #RaiseHell . @bnchvr shot by @withsavage . #Steeltown #stayhungry #raisehell #findyourpath #motovation #ridemotorcycleshavefun #steeltowngarageco #freespirits #freespiritsneverdie #thehouseoffreespirits #hamont #leatherjacket #bikerjacket #hellbabes #thelitas #caferacer #caferacers #grifter #scoundrels #sportster #leathergloves #motorcycle #motorcycles #hellraiser #hellraisers #staytrue See more

The Lumineers frontman on riding motorcycles, escaping for the sake of inspiration, and crafting honest music. Worth a read... or a watch.

It's easy to focus on the bad stuff. It's easy to wallow. After almost an entire year of seemingly endless struggle and strife, one could be forgiven for making despair their default setting. Seriously. But with a little hope and a whole lotta will power, the good stuff rises to the surface, the good stuff snaps into focus . Looking at our Top 9, cheesy though it may be, reminds us that great memories are never that far outta reach. A hot coffee on a cold snowy day. The sweet... gassy smell of an old truck. Working with yer hands. Finishing a project you've been thinking about for years but just never had the time. Doodling. Kicking a longboard through the deserted underground of a normally busy commuter train station. Ripping up some mud on a vintage dirt bike. Or driving too fast down empty streets with nothing on yer mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . These mental souvenirs, scattered and random, remind us that nothing is ever all bad, nothing is beyond saving. "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." So as we collectively lurch forward into a new year, sputtering, exhausted and over it all, we'd like to thank you for helping us make these memories, thank you for staying by our side as we learn to navigate a brave new world, thank you for being a part of something true . It's not possible for everyone to simply 'focus on the good stuff'. And it's ok if you can't or don't want to.

Tetsu Ikuzawa The King of Speed & Style Read Now: https://steeltowngarage.com//tetsu-ikuzawa-king-of-speed-s Born in 1942 to renowned Japanese painter Rou Ikuzawa, Tetsu Ikuzawa has carved out a name for himself across the worlds of international motor racing, fashion and design with his wildly rebellious spirit and larger-than-life style and personality.... In our Free Spirits Journal today, we dive deep into his impressive racing career (Tetsu was the first Japanese racer to enter the British racing world), his undeniably cool sense of fashion (a canary yellow 72 Porsche Targa and an ankle-length fur coat), and his current collection of 72 Porsches and a room full of 80's Nikes (yes, they're still in the box) #TetsuIkuzawa #Japan #freespirits #freespirit #freespiritsneverdie #japanese #racing #motorracing #history #style #fashion #fashionsense #cowboy #cowboyhat #porsche #porsche911 #porschemoment #porschelife #racinglife #racingislife #grandprix #tokyo #collector #steeltown #steeltowngarageco #freespiritsjournal

A few weeks ago we were mining the depths of @Spotify for something fresh to play in the shop, something with high enough energy and a slick enough beat to keep the vibe alive, something that would unexpectedly match the roars and rumbles of motorcycles and old trucks coming and going, something that in all likelihood wasn't playing over the loud-speakers at any other shop in town. We landed on 'Black on Both Sides', the 1999 debut studio album by Brooklyn's prodigal son Mos ...Def As soon as @DJ.Waves heard what was going down, the basis for the next SOUNDWAVES was born. But Waves didn't just create another playlist jammed with all the old-school hip hop bangers and MC classics. That would've been too easy. And plus, there's already a thousand of those playlists on Spotify already LISTEN NOW https://steeltowngarage.com/b/soundwaves/sound-waves-vol-19 Here, in Volume 19 of SOUNDWAVES, @DJ.Waves has woven together almost three hours of classic breakbeats, addictive pop-rap, old-school hip hop, trippy jazz-rap, alternative funk, and gritty rhythm and blues. From Young MC to Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5 to MIA, Fantastic Negro to Chakha Khan, Outkast to Lizzo, Digable Planets to Marlena Shaw, The Bongolians to Mos Def and more Listen Free on @Spotify Curated by @DJ.Waves Presented by @SteeltownGarage . #Spotify #playlistspotify #builttoblast #soundwaves #spotifyplaylist #steeltown #steeltowngarageco #freespirits #sunday #sundayvibes #djwaves #markronson #tribecalledquest #mosdef #beastieboys #music #steeltownrecords #hamont #spotifycanada #motorcycles #hiphop #rap #oldschool #funk #blackonbothsides #freemusic #playlists #hamiltonontario

Morning doodlesWe've been pretty quiet on IG lately. We always slow it down a bit between Christmas and New Years Eve. By this time, the holiday shopping rush has subsided and the mad dash for spring hasn't quite begun yet. It's a purgatory. And like all purgatories, it's what you make of it . We go back to the basics. We get creative. We draw. We doodle. We look for inspiration in the most random places. We think about Steeltown in big, wide, abstract ways. We try to forge...t, at least for a few fleeting moments, the granularity of owning and operating a scrappy little brand. Taxes. Long hours. Payroll. Screen fees. Ad spend. Espresso machine repairs. Rent hikes. Meetings with lawyers. Financial instability et cetera . We take this time to decompress, defragment and detangle. Even if it's only a week or so. It was Jackie Stewart, one of history's greatest race car drivers, who famously said "Sometimes you need to ease off in order to go faster." So excuse us while we ease off. Excuse the slow email replies, the shipping delays, the Instagram silence, and what may appear to be a general lack of enthusiasm. We're still working, we're just working differently .

We've used a skull and crossbones a lot over the years. Sometimes it's a cartoony skull. Sometimes it's an anatomical one. And sometimes the bones are wrenches. Every once in a while the skulls have been missing teeth, eyeballs and, in this case, an entire mandible. The presentation changes, but the reason stays the same: rebellion . To us, the skull and crossbones will forever be a Jolly Roger; a flag raised way up high to let the world know you mean business, a warning shot... to caution those around you to tread lightly, a trumpeter to announce that you'll take no shit. It's a simple scribble of lines but it represents an entire way of life. It symbolizes a style; a way of doing things, and a way of being done . It may be a cliché of childish pirate fiction. It may conjure images of Johnny Depp hamming it up for $35 million a film. Or remind you of that time you read Robert Louis Stevenson in grade school. But that doesn't render its meaning any less significant. At least to us. 'Cause that's the power of a skull and crossbones. It transcends kitsch. It's invincibly cool. It embodies the fundamentally rebellious way in which we choose to navigate the waters of modern life . #Spring2021 . #Steeltown #SteeltownGarageCo #skull #skulls #skullart #skullandcrossbones #skullandbones #pirate #pirates #rebel #rebels #rebellion #art #illustration #linedrawing #freespirits #freespiritsneverdie #thehouseoffreespirits #steeltowngarage #hamont #pgh #steelcity #skulldrawing #brand #lifestylebrand #symbolism See more

You read that right, kids. Steeltown is now open for in-store shopping! . The curb-side / street-side thing worked well for the summer. The vibe was alive and everyone was kept safe. But now, as the temperature plummets, and frost encrusts yer cars overnight, and trees stand naked and embarrassed throughout the city, selling premium goods through a garage door has become less of a viable option for commerce . So.... starting this week, we're shifting to an in-store shopping ...model. Like the old days. Kinda. Our capacity is severely limited so you may hear @Toasty.Tris scream at you as you walk in to go back outside and wait until another customer exits. It's 100% a mask-mandatory environment. And we've got hand sanitizer throughout the shop for ya to use . Wednesday to Sunday 11-5pm . Come get yer Christmas shopping done all in one place. And as always, you can shop online and choose pick-up in-store during checkout if you'd rather not browse through the shop in person .

Dining room tables are overrated anyway . Seriously though. If this is what we woke up to every morning, we'd never leave the house.
