Lords of Alchemy
Forged in Fremantle, Western Australia in 2011, 66 Motorcycles has been a collaboration of wrenchers, designers, musicians, adventurers and artists with the spirit of Rock and Roll and a creative belief in the Alchemy of the Machine. We gravitate toward those beautiful, independent, artistic souls with a shared "fuck that" defiant attitude and a strong collective desire to chase authenticity in everything we do.
EMBRACE individuality
RESIST riding the populist highway of the masses
DEFIANT in the face of narcissism, ignorance and corporate greed
BE your own REVOLUTION
