Caden floating 2-piece rotors for the SL8. The 160mm came in at a super light 96g, and the rear 140mm came in at 80g. Literally as light as the one-piece Galfer rotors they’re replacing.

Dropped in to Ben Caden’s workshop to pick up some of his new super light floating disc rotors. The guy is a legit OG. Thought I’d rattle off a few shots whilst I was there!

ZEN EOMM

Happy dogo is happy!

What an awesome day (that ended at 2AM for me lol). So many faces I’ve not seen in 10+ years.

Thanks to all that came along. Seeing you guys wearing ZEN again blows my mind! Special thanks to Reggie for feeding us and Gi for running the ZEN shop.

I brought my camera, but as usual I failed to get any shots as I was talking too much!

Final inspection on new investment apartment

Posted on 20 February, 2025 by Justin Fox

Olive trees.

Had the final inspection yesterday. Buying off the plan is whack as it’s nothing like I thought it would be, nothing bad, it’s great! Just totally different. The idea was for me to go over the apartment with an eagle eye and look for any imperfections which I’d like fixed before final settlement. Found a fair few issues, nothing major!

They started construction on this apartment right when I moved into mine (which is next door) 2 years ago, so it’s somewhat satisfying that all that construction noise I’ve been hearing over the last 2 years has paid off. Next step is to pay up, then look for an agent to get renters in.

Love it raw: unfinished UniDirectional fibre, raw out of its mould, no paint or varnish to hide any imperfections.

Hangs with ATOME

I got an inbox from ATOME last week on Instagram and my day was instantly made. I’ve been a fan of his work since the Australian INfront days (a design community I used to run in the early 2000’s). He’s an OG who’s been writing since the 80’s. A true living legend and legit one of the most famous Australian Graffiti Writers of all time.

We talked cars, bikes and art and the opportunity to do a “Find Your ZEN” feature on him was too good to pass up. Turns out ATOME (AKA Minky) was finishing up an 11-piece series in Fairfield. He invited me out for an early 6AM start to finally meet face to face as well as grab some shots. What a champ, super chill, crazy talented, humble and no doubt about it the dude has found his ZEN.

Look out for his full feature on ZEN Blog soon!
