The comments are well regulated too. I had a fun time writing my own impression of a number of models over en extended time. Here are my words! Dale even kicked a couple of the racers into life, noisy joy! What museum does that! Now this racer… A great story of a moto found, revived and purposed for speed in fairly simple and short order! What more could ya want? Sehr Gut! A nice balance of geometry as expected for the clip-on, rearset, big-tank needs for an A-Road burner. This brings us to another aspect of the historical bikes Exif conjures up every now and anon: the people that went with them.

Green CFF9B8, bikeexif. Evocative of halcyon race days, a far cry from a McGuiness mph lap but still with guts aplenty!

I have a serious soft spot for well-crafted custom motorcycles. Generally, though, the bones of custom bikes you see were born in the 70s or 80s all low-tech and metal , carburetors and steel frames. A custom electric is a bit of a shock, if you will, but the more I think about it the more I should not be surprised. Motorcycle customization as an art form has been around since motorcycles have been around, so creating unique artwork out of an electric bike is just the natural progression of the craft. Instead of the boxy visual stumbling blocks and wide blank expanses that grace so many current electric motorcycle designs, this one manages to be swoopy with clean, continuous, beautiful lines while keeping its minimalist roots.

But as riders around the world began focussing on other types of machines to customize — cheap CB Hondas, Yamaha Viragos, etc — the idea that anyone could customize anything to make a cool daily ride caught fire. Small shops cropped up, built bikes, and disappeared, or went professional and rode a wave of popularity not seen since the s. The people wanted something different than what factories were offering, and so began making what they wanted themselves. In a press release last week, they stated:. Tell our readers how you came to start a custom motorcycle blog: what were you doing before that? Was there any competition in ? It started as a lunchtime experiment when I was a creative director working at an ad agency in Sydney, Australia. I was scouting around for a bike to buy, and absorbing information on motorcycles in general, and was feeling uninspired by the quality of moto sites at the time. I knew of Deus, which was starting to take off, and I found the Japanese and European custom scenes fascinating. The idea was to focus on a sweet spot: the best photography of the best custom bikes.

Huge Moto machined the pieces of this build not out of steel and aluminum but ABS plastic, keeping its weight down, its materials modern, and the entire thing beautiful and interesting. Since Zero commissioned the build, it did not want the frame or the motor altered at all. That meant a chopper was out of the question, but a modern custom build often means more functionality not less. The San Francisco shop upgraded the rear end with a Fox racing shock, and pulled both wheels in favor of custom-laced Sun rims. No word on fork internals but dollars to doughnuts those were gutted too, in favor of upgrades or emulators.

Red F9B8B8. JavaScript is disabled. It had a controls that needed a certain patience to get the most out of; from its gravelly kick-starter, long-thumbed turn signal controls, and a seating stance that was just not quite right. Muy, muy bueno! Crumby traffic? Already have a WordPress. Building it around a sweetened Milwaukee lump is priceless though. Red EF3E3E. I think his name was Luke, yes Lucas Black. Topo potenti! La vie est courte! Red F47B7B. Please consider creating a new thread. The superb mountainbike frame and suspension technology finds its way to the custom shops of the sultry Indonesian garages.

Customization leaves you free to change whatever you want, but a restomod demands good judgement and even better taste. You need to know when to zig and when to zag—treating the original bike with respect while making….

My Norman Hydes have a hinged peg that has to be lifted to allow the kick-start to depress. A definite post-wehrmacht farmyard practicality to the design is achieved to great sucess. What a gorgeous little package of hope for the future! Jawadul Hafiz. Deals Forum. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. That canary yellow fairing complete with whiskers took a man with a small dream and big heart, a healthy dose of mechanical skill as well as craftsmanship, across the old Spitfire runways of Duxford. Bike, Concept Bike Darshik Vadhiya. Adobe InDesign. Great bike mate! The engine look suitably hefty and hints at the Guzzi grunt when lit. O life! Purple 2AE. Just need a pair of clear-glass welding goggles, an oilcloth duster swirling behind you and the heady nighscape around Montmarte…. Tappety-tap, tappety-tap.
