The Story Behind 601.

There were no warning shots.

Just a small piece of paper with three numbers.

601.

In 1870s Virginia City, that was all it took.

If you found those numbers on your door, the message was clear:

You had 24 hours to disappear.

The 601 Vigilance Committee was a secret society of businessmen, miners, and merchants who believed the law couldn’t keep up with the violence pouring into one of the richest mining towns in America.

Whether they were heroes or vigilantes depends on who’s telling the story.

But one thing is certain…

Everyone in Virginia City knew what 601 meant.

Some stories are too wild to forget.

I wear this as a tribute — a way to carry his legacy forward.
While cleaning out my wife’s grandfather’s garage, I found a box of his original 1970s bronze belt buckles.
His name was Jean Marie Spilborghs — a Belgian WWII veteran who came to the U.S. in 1965 and built a reputation as a nationally renowned gunsmith.

I turned one of his buckles into the belt I wear every day.
Now I’m bringing his work — and his story — back through Moto Fabrica.

Built from the wreckage.

Cooler weather will be back before you know it. Ride comfortably and in style with our Eddie Jacket. Named after my Uncle Eddie, Army lifer who was like a father to me and took me on rides in the sidecar around base. The Eddie follows the lines and style.of a 1950's coach jacket,.similar to one my Uncle.used to.wear. I wanted our debut piece to come from.the heart, and everything that went in to making this jacket, hell, everything we make fueled by raw passion. No compromise on quality. The best materials, incredible craftsmanship by some of LA's finest clothiers, and not a detail spared, down to the triple stitched seams and LA custom metal blacked out snaps. A classic, refined. You can pick one up now for 20% off while we still have them.

When we decided to put out a crop tee, we had two requirements - it had to be the softest crop tee anyone's ever worn and it had to "flow" right. Not too tight, not too short, just right. It's comfortably flattering. And bad ass. Get yours now before they're gone for good!

Yahama introduced the XT500 in the 70's as the first Adventure bikes available in the US. Frenchman Cyril Neveu won the first two Paris-Dakar motorcycle Rallies in 1979 & 1980 on a modified XT500. I found this 1978 in good shape considering it's age. Mostly original parts. Runs strong. I'll be refurbishing this beauty over the summer. Follow us for updates, photos and videos of the progress.
