DAILY INSPIRATION: Classified Moto 1992 Honda CB750 Nighthawk - The Walking Dead

1992 Honda CB750 Nighthawk
built for The Walking Dead (TV Show)


"The year 2014 is one we won’t soon forget here at Classified Moto. First we built a custom XV920R for the amazing Norman Reedus. Then he introduced us to creative powerhouse Scott M. Gimple who was looking for a custom bike for the show he runs — maybe you’ve heard of it — AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” We’ve got love for all things post-apocalyptic and have been avid fans of the show from the get-go. So when Scott said he wanted us to build a bike to replace Daryl Dixon’s lost chopper, we thought we had died, then turned, then died again, then gone to heaven. The project entailed creating two identical bikes to accommodate production needs. Pictured is one of them. Or maybe both. Hard to say. They’re identical. The project required all hands on deck for a short, frantic time. And we have our vendors (below) — and very patient current customers — to thank for being exceptionally fantastic and understanding."

MERCH: Cloud Of Foxes

/
Portland, OR

Cloud of Foxes, the three person team out of Portland, OR, has been in the works for years now and I'm excited to see them putting such a well tailored foot forward. Their line promotes the value of process reduction with minimalistic design that relies on every minor detail of material, fit and finish. I've been putting their belt through the ringer for the past couple years now and it's been serving me quite well. It even made it through a low side slide where I used it's ball post rivets as a torso skid plate (see photos). Check out their site above to see the rest of the fine products in their line, from bags to dining chairs.
