Beautiful bike, The Bronze Cylinders are a bit too far away from the functional path for me but that has to be the only functional yet attractive seat I've ever seen on a vincent!!!!!!! So when do you start on a (my) Commando?

Beautiful bike as ...
Beautiful bike as they all have been. The Vincent was a tricky one as it is so good before you start the work, so a very well done indeed. Art? for me all beautiful bikes with a story on how they got to be what they are Art and Science as one. As for the ''engineering chat'; if it works well, does what its meant to do, it is ergonomic or engineered - i.e. it sits well with itself and fits its purpose. Everything else it just a failed bit of fabrication no matter how well undertaken.

Falcon will shortly ...
Falcon will shortly bust open the doors of the Academy, as the question 'When does a motorcycle become Art?' is alarm-bell loud with the Black. Super-expensive utilitarian objects typically rely on rare metal or gems to heap on 'value', but with the Black, the investment is more precious still: one year of 9 very talented people's lives, focused on a single motorcycle. This machine glows with the Life invested, and poring over the details is like falling in love - your eyes go 'ooh'.

Every time a new ...
Every time a new Falcon comes out I think, "Wow, Barry's hit his peak - what in blazes is he gonna do to follow this one up???" Then, another bike comes out and I'm left scratching my head, picking up all the details, bolts, lines, trying to wrap my mind around what I'm seeing. And then it hits me - and I see it not for all its litany of gorgeous touches and machinery, but as 1 singular machine... and I go "Wow, Barry's hit his peak - what in blazes is he gonna do to follow this one up???"

Ian is one of the most brilliant and talented people I've ever come across in my life. The bikes are pieces of art as well as motorcycles, and the care, consideration, and respect put into them, along with the hand form beauty is astounding. I've never seen anything like it.

ourcityofangels stated, ".....the engineering visible on his machine in clearly visible....." [sic] JzoJames stated, ".....2. a person who carries through an enterprise by skillful or artful contrivance.....". By that definition, I am in agreement. Nuf said? JzoJames, you sent me definitions of "engineer", 1 to 4, but #3 was missing. ? I believe we are all in agreement that these are works of a skilled individual. BTW, I received my PhD in Physics before dirt was discovered. =!8^) Ciao, GEO

maybe mention of tolerances was response to your talk of tools that most "modifiers" don't use? Falcon clearly go beyond "modifiers". Engineer: --noun 1. a person trained and skilled in the design, construction and use of engines or machines or in various branches of engineering 2. a person who carries through an enterprise by skillful or artful contrivance 4. the art or science of making practical application of the knowledge of sciences in construction of engines, structures etc.
