In every pack of wolves there is an alpha male, in every tribe there is a chief, and in the world of BrenandSven there is the Godfather. Some say he had his heart replaced with a turbocharged 2.3 liter Triumph Rocket III engine and that light slows down to let him pass, all we know is that he is the reason Bren and Sven ride Motorcycles. With over 20 years of motoring experience, and knowledge gained from riding in two different countries, the U.S. and the U.K., he is our gold source of motorcycle knowledge and know-how. Now many of you may be wondering what the hell we are telling you this for, but as we further develop the world of BrenandSven, the Godfather will be a recurring character and act as our Motorcycle Guru.

The Godfather

Stats:

Age: Older than he looks and Younger than he admits.

Height: Tall Enough to Ride a Motorcycle

Weight: Never seen him with out riding leathers, No Clue

Bike History ( Chronological Order, and yes only the really cool ones get pictures):

1. 1935 100cc villiers excelsior- The god fathers first bike. Purchased at the age of 11, it was the beginning of a truly epic journey

The Begining of an Era

2. 1969 Garelli 50cc

3. 1971 Yamaha 125

4. 500 Ltd Kawasaki

5. 2007 Triumph Bonneville T100

She's a Bonnie Lass

6. 2008 Triumph Speed Triple

Affectionately Known as "Speedy"

7. 2009 Triumph Rocket III

His name is Horace. He exists because 1050cc just wasn't enough!

8. 2010.  Saturn 5 Rocket

If you noticed the trend, this would be the next logical step with regards to power.

So that is the Godfather; a powerhouse of motorcyle motivation and the lightning bolt that kickstarted the adventure that is Bren and Sven.

Live the Journey-Bren

So I know we put up a video giving a good poke at Harley riders, but the truth of it is, we don’t hate Harleys. We hate the stereotypical rider portrayed in the video. And that thick skulled imbecile of a motorcyclist doesn’t have to exclusively ride the belt driven V-twins. The leather vested (or denim… take your pick), shorty helmeted, lanyard dragging, “I’m an Amerrrrrcan dammit” ignoramuses are the ones we loathe. Oh and don’t think we forgot about the inconsiderate young guns on their improperly upgraded GSX-Rs, and their mohawk helmets.

What is wrong with this picture?

To put it plainly, it isn’t the motorcycles fault it has a dimwit of a rider.

and this one?

All too often you hear about the long lived spat between Harley cruisers and sport bike riders, or the argument over belt, chain, or shaft driven bikes. Sure its fun to have debates over the topics, but when it comes down to it all… who cares? If you eat sleep and breathe Harley or Honda, that’s your own prerogative but keep it to yourself. Don’t impose your close minded ideals on us other riders. Hopefully we all took up motorcycling for the same reasons, to find away to break away from the normalcy of life and to take risk for the sake of the rush. We are all supposed to be riding towards that endless horizon, that same goal, so why quarrel?

If Bren and Sven have to pick one group of riders to look down upon and scoff at, it would hands down be unsafe riders. They are the ones standing out and giving all of us a bad rap.

As Sven always says, keep the paint up and the rubber down. RIDE SAFE

So a good friend of the Bren and Sven team drew up a funny lil video for the site, only to be titled : Harley-Man Love.  This is a quick, rough sketch and we will definitely be perfecting this nifty little art as we do more. We thought we’d offer it for your viewing amusement. We hope you like it and you can certainly look forward to more in the future. If you think this is cool you should definitely check out the web site www.xtranormal.com were you can make your own videos.
