Ton-Up magazine

School assignment
 
"The ‘Ton-Up Boys’ of the café racer culture became devoted to early American rock n’ roll music as much as they were to their own motorcycles. Outfitted in British Military surplus leathers, Brylcreem hair styles, and a deep fascination with those illustrious American tunes they heard at the Ace Café earned them the nickname, the “Rockers” and they started making front page headlines by the late 1950s. So named due to their penchant for tuning motorcycles to achieve 100 MPH — or “the Ton” in British slang — the name became a badge of honour for those capable of achieving this extraordinary, and dangerous, feat."  Statement from the Cafe Racer TV- series
 
This magazine is dedicated to the fans of the beautiful engineering of café racers.
 
The concept was to make a magazine, that was stripped down to the teeth and showing speed and movement, just like the spirit of the cafe racer is.
