Unveiling Our Dakar Adventure Mural at Machinehead Moto
Bringing The Desert To Life With @Roxyvelvet.art @Roxyvelvet
We’re so excited to finally share our stunning new mural with you! Over the past week, we’ve had the absolute pleasure of teaming up with the talented artist and muralist, Roxy Velvet to bring a little piece of Dakar-inspired magic to the walls of Machinehead Moto.
When Roxy first rode into our garage on her Harley, we all stood there staring at our big, blank white wall. It was our creative dilemma—but not for long! Roxy listened carefully to what was important to us—our passion for adventure, the spirit of riding, and the culture we wanted to celebrate. And she just got it. That’s when we knew we were in the hands of a truly brilliant artist.
Fast forward five days, and we watched her turn that blank wall into an absolute masterpiece! Riders emerged out of rugged rocky terrain, the colours of the desert danced across the wall, and even the finest grains of sand seemed to come alive. Honestly, every detail took us right back to the heart of the desert, reliving the thrill of those adventures.
Now, we get to live it every day. Coming into the workshop feels like stepping straight into an adventure—it’s even better with a coffee in hand as you take it all in! Roxy didn’t just transform our wall; she transformed the whole vibe of our workshop. As a biker, tattoo artist, and muralist, she captured the raw energy of the riding experience like no one else could. It’s bold, it’s creative, and it’s so Machinehead Moto.
But this mural isn’t just a work of art—it’s a celebration. It’s a tribute to the camaraderie, the thrill, and the shared passion that unite riders everywhere. Sure, it’s inspired by Dakar and our love for desert rides, but it’s more than that. It speaks to the universal spirit of adventure, no matter where the road (or trail!) takes you.
And Roxy—wow. Her dedication, talent, and endless energy over those five days blew us away. Watching her work was like seeing magic happen. She didn’t just leave behind a stunning mural; she left a piece of her creative spirit with us too.
This mural now feels like us. It’s a symbol of who we are as we grow—adventurous, boundary-pushing, and always about the ride. Machinehead Moto isn’t just a workshop; it’s a home for riders, and this mural makes that clear.
Oh, and did we mention we filmed the whole thing? Yep, we’ve got a time-lapse video watch. Watching Roxy create this over five days is something you don’t want to miss—it’s incredible!
To Roxy, we can’t thank you enough for your talent, vision, and for just being an all-around great human. You’ve left us inspired, and we’re so grateful.
So, what do you think of the mural? We’d love to hear your thoughts as we celebrate this vibrant new addition to the Machinehead Moto workshop. If you’re in the area, be sure to drop by and see it in person—it’s definitely worth the visit!
