Our good friend, Luke Ray, along with the team from Fuel Tank TV have just dropped this – Modern Motorcycle Company – It is their last film produced during 2011 and will of course be featured on the Fuel Tank Annual DVD, due to be released in January 2012.
To explain more about MMC, and it’s founder Christian, here’s an excerpt from the article ‘Much to Learn’ published in Head Full of Snakes magazine:
“The Modern Motorcycle Company is quite straightforward as an idea. It’s a workshop and a shopfront where Christian can sell some parts and some posters while making bikes of his own initiation as well as bikes for customers and friends. Christian trained as a car mechanic, and then as an industrial designer. Having found himself then designing shitty kitchenware for a couple of years in CAD, and feeling a disconnection from the realness of mechanical work, he started MMCC to make bikes and hopefully combine his design and mechanical training. At times he’s felt the frustration of having too much mechanical work and not enough time making bikes from the ground up, but on the whole he’s doing pretty well. I think he is satisfied.”
Head over to Fuel Tank TV to emerse yourself in all their goodness and don’t forget to check out FUEL and get those magazine orders in.
