Old School Shovel
There is a culture with thousands of loyal fans, where you come from, who are enamored with the retro style in their dress, the way in which they live, in her hair, in his music, his tattoos and of course, in their vehicles are motorcycles or cars. Some think, away from the nostalgia of older people, that there were other times where things were much simpler, less sophisticated. Where everything was simpler and everything in its place. Values that have now been lost, such as friendship, honor, word relations that have disappeared, such as courtship, the Affect savor, the elegance of party dresses, simple music and rhythm, without much progress bikes technicians, in order, otherwise.For some this culture does not cease to be a kitsch fashion, past and that is in the mind only four cranks.But fix it, not only in the fashion world.
In the end everything goes back to the purest sources. The clothes back to the golden 40, 50 and 60, girls are more brightly colored makeup, music is in permanent crisis because there is nothing new and with reference to our favorite topic, what bikes are all the rage? Indeed the Bobber and Chopper California again. Custom culture also reached four-wheeled vehicles and found large blockbusters such as the Volkswagen Beetle or the Mini, or the U.S. that I never remember his name, if that man looks like a Chevrolet The cultural icons retake the reins of our society. It even appears that we live in a post-war era, within four months of recent world events. It has become fashionable to put tattoos, sexy models (like the old pin ups), the skulls on our bikes and clothes sixties, such as sneakers.
Even looking for the ultimate in modern principles as old as the purity of lines, sober colors and few details that distract the viewer from what is really important, let’s talk about motorcycles, houses, offices or girls.If we talk about bikes, that’s why we’re in a biker forum, we see that the global trend is changing. The Super sport have shown no sense to use an ultra-modern racing car, dominated exclusively by information technology and services that are not stratospheric reach of any human being does not have the slightest sense.Wanted motorcycle new concepts. More human, more controllable, where the pilot I have more to decide apart from the bits and microcomputer chips.
Today a old school is similar to bomber motorcycle, of which we have spoken.Normally with the front wheel with larger diameter than the rear, narrower, and with rear wheel logic, not those megastars 300 or 400 with no more sense to appear at shows around the world bikes. Forks ancient logical degree slope, and if you are a daring suicide clutch motorcycles without front brake.The decorations on our bikes, apart from those who prefer one of the custom styles we have discussed, often quite stark, primary colors, preferably mates and of course, with the return of art as a sign pin stripping identification . Other icons widely used, but if anything too Americanized, the famous Red Devil lease, or Maltese crosses, very retro but underutilized in our country.
Returning to the old school bike, said that the primer is usually mate with red and white combination, typical of classic tires.Basically a 50′s style, which has its variants and can customize a variety of ways, but what I have said is more or less what characterizes it.
The meaning of Old School, if you tell your partner Rocker nauta, would make the design of bike you exit the cushion … but the way in which the old way, that is made by craftsmen to personalize your piece of iron. And if you know or can not, because you know, lay hold of the catalogs that are thousands, and better than Harley.If the pioneers of the custom world, (ie the first of the former) of which I refuse to talk because I have no time were Von Dutch and Ed Roth, has never ceased to be builders who followed his style, like a authentic religion. Remember the ill-fated Indian Larry, and numerous workshops and not so famous worldwide trend to continue this artistic fashion that does not know or annual changes.
Finally it all boils down to pure romance. In this image that we froze in the retina when buckaroos between the history of our bikes, or even searching for the origin of why our parents.
They are icons perpetual, carried in the blood and heart. It’s like a female fatal who always lets the other guy more formal, but always dreams with you.Today, thanks to many anonymous people, we enjoy more than the benefits of a sports bike, enjoy the fat and gasoline seeping from our custom bikes. Harley our lifetime.The antihero, a loser, the fallen, the young man who sits on the saddle of the bike smoking a cigarette between puffs of memory of this female fatal, that story always has a bad end, that black and white image.
Do not you remember to James Dean and his rebellion, his final fatal, their plight? Is there something more authentic than we remember the old school? Let him speak many, many try, many criticize him, that many will scoff, but this spirit is present in some of us. We are today, but rebels in our hearts and with a custom bike between his legs.
