It all started with a hallucinatory Galician Queimada brew spiked with peyote. Spirits were invoked, Steve McQueen and Hunter S Thompson were having burn-out competitions through the valleys of our amped-up brains, the last thing we heard them shout at dawn was ‘Fuck it man, life’s too short.’

This company is a natural extension to our passions: riding motorbikes hard and living each day like it’s our last. What we do will always reflect our punk spirit, mediocrity will not be tolerated. We know what we like and if it ain’t out there or it isn’t being made anymore we’ll make it ourselves our way. Like our native Galicia, what we forge will be rugged, thrilling, often beautiful and always uncompromising.

The garage is our spiritual home where the constraints of traditional engineering inspire us and are regularly pushed by our imaginations. Bikes come in and are stripped to become a kind of blank canvas. Engines are always fully rebuilt and refined before mating with the frame. At this point they are not truly ‘blank’ canvasses, they invite any number of re-interpretations.
Our desire is to create machines that have so much character, they feel alive, needing to be tamed. Anthropomorphic machines you must develop visceral relationships with in order not to kill you.
Each bike is naturally a one-off, as to ride a unique bike is the only way we’d have it, particularly in these times of homogenous, mass-produced ubiquity.

In ESMC, we are also determined to develop high end gear collections season over season. Our goal is to revive and re-interpret those somehow ‘lost’ garments and accessories from past eras, whilst creating new gear fit for purpose for today’s road life, a life we know well. Forms that can take the punishment of a spill when you’ve overcooked a corner, as we’ve been there and tasted how it feels. Quality wools, cottons and skins are our main materials alongside silver jewellery and handmade leather accessories. The same focus on quality and originality imposed on our rideable iron, is what will define our creations outside the garage.
