I have been a fan of John Ryland's work ( http://www.classifiedmoto.com/ Twitter @JohnRyland ) for the last few years now. I admire how he takes very plain and (almost) boring bikes, rip them to bits and re-invents them into stylish, attractive and simply beautiful machines.
I was introduced to John by Chris Hunter of http://www.bikeexif.com/ ( Twitter @BikeEXIF ) and have since been a fan not only of John & his team's work on two wheels but also there work on taking old, broken, unloved old bike parts & turning them into feature items for the home:
From disc's & shocks that were left to rust and scrap to this :
If you think the quality of the lamp his good take a look at the bikes .
Even though my main 2 wheeled passion (as I'm sure you all know) is MotoGP, I do like to see people making a difference to the way people see motorcycle's & people like John & Chris are doing this.
By showing not the normal plastic fantastic or yet another Harley based cruiser, but a whole spectrum of different styles & even types of motorcycle.
We need people like this.
Well, after bouncing many tweets back and forth with John & doing the pleasure of introducing people to his site & his products, John said he was very great full. I said not to mention it.
Today, Mr Postie knocked on the door ......
