your Favorite Five #015

.


Our passion for bikes can take several forms, but two main categories can be found.

The speed one with the stress on the performance of the machines.... and the design one with the stress on the look of the machines and what symbols it stands for.

The two can be mixed and many exemples of successful mechanic AND aesthetic concepts have allways existed. This can be a lifetime research for the biker.

Lennard Schurmanns, a young painter and designer from Holland, has made this his permanent quest. He is searching for every trends and drives us through his blog "Bubblevisor" pages, in a world, his world made of vintage and modern customs and cafe-racers.

The Magical Internet : We can access to wonderful bank of images; the world is ours, all you need is to know how to search.

Lennard is a good explorer.
