Ian Barry : The White, The Black, The Kestrel

I met Ian in 2008 at the Legend of the Motorcycles in Half Moon Bay and he is for me, together with shinya Kimura and Matt "Machine" my  favourite bike builder/designer of our era.

" The artist Ian Barry’s newest sculpture could easily be mistaken for a mere motorcycle. It is an impressive piece of hand-built machinery, but that’s not how Ian sees the newest creation in his Falcon Ten series. To him, his custom motorcycles exist on a different plane than the two-wheel conveyances people drive on public roads. His bikes are the gasoline-powered embodiment of living, breathing, moving art. "
