CUSTOM REVOLUTION: Paul d’Orléans? Petersen Museum Moto Masterpiece
Max Hazan’s ?Musket 2?
Written by Andrew Jones
We’d call Paul d’Orléans a Renaissance man, but 14th Century Italy wouldn’t have enough vintage motorcycles, loafers and Hawaiian shirts to keep him happy. Instead, we’ll just call him a modern-day moto legend; there’s simply no one alive that has done more to promote classic and custom motorcycles than this writer, publisher, curator, judge, auctioneer and all-round moto fanatic. In his latest endeavour, he’s assembled what could arguably be the greatest collection of custom motorcycles ever. Think we’re being bombastic" Then you’re in for a large and rather pleasant surprise; check out Paul’s ?Custom Revolution? show at Los Angeles? Petersen Museum. Kingston’s ?White Phantom?
Hello again Paul! Can you tell us about the show"
?The Custom Revolution exhibit presents the revolution that?s happened in custom motorcycles in the past 10 years. It?s the first museum show dedicated to this movement, and includes 23 of the best bikes from seven countries, with incredible variety. The builds are based on 17 different brands, and modified in every style ? café racer, chopper, land speed racer, dragster, bob-job, sportbike, scrambler, art bike, retro-future, etc. They?re all dramatically different, and the display is amazing; Ian Barry laid it out, and Ornamental Conifer did the wall graphics ? I guarantee you?ve never seen a bike or museum show like it.?
