Yamaha 500 SR Flying Tiger Custom by Blitz Motorcycles…. For those of you who are unaware of Blitz Motorcycles They are a Paris-based custom garage founded by Fred Jourden and Hugo Jezegabel in 2010. Together, They conceive, customised and hand finish motorcycles to create unique, one-of-a-kind machines. Some of you may know them form their work with Edwin, which for obvious reasons is how i became aware of there work.
I have only really ever had a loose interest in motorcycles but the guys at Blitz have created something that is inspiring in that easy rider sense, freedom and all that hippie jazz, which seems like a nice thing to aspire to when living in London. My Dad rolls around on a Harley Davidson so it’s something that has always been around in my life, and in my head i just assumed that i would end up on one, at some point in my life, I’m sure it will happen, just need a week or two off work to get going ha….
