According to Jesse James’ Garage Magazine - Every Falcon Motorcycle will go down in history. This is because of their uniqueness, their effortless beauty and the resultant machine being much more than just a sum of the parts. Because of this, the only way you can get to own one, is to contact Falcon, initially just to discuss the possibility of a bike build and then see if there is a good fit, a good meeting of minds and a good vision of what it might be like if you were to be the next owner of a Falcon Motorcycle. The decision will be made based on whether you share a mutual vision. That’s not arrogance, it’s just the way that they do things round there, and it is reflected in the integrity of the final result.
This begins to make more sense when you realize that Ian Barry has a vision for just TEN Falcon motorcycles, built from ten classic british motorcycle bodies, which can take three months or more to build. That should give you an indication of just how sought after these ten bikes are.
This, in part, has seen to it that Falcon has become one of the most talked about motorcycle companies in the world this year. Falcon are simply making motorcycles with a true vision of what the legendary British bikes of the past (Triumphs, Nortons, Vincents etc.) should be in the modern world of bespoke design, and this (relative) simplicity of approach has created a connection between the world of motorcycles and the creative worlds of the arts.
This is why Ralph Lauren has asked Falcon to lend their ‘Bullet’ Falcon Motorcycle (the winner of the motorcycle world’s ‘Oscar’ - The Best Custom at the last ‘Legends Of The Motorcycle’ Concours d’elegance’) to him for six weeks to compliment his store window on Rodeo Drive, Los Angeles. That’s why Jason Lee (owner of The Bullet) Josh Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age, Alan Aldridge, Sage Vaughn and so many others have become fans. It seems that these motorcycles that have such design integrity and vision, have transcended the normal world of ‘custom’ culture and become object d’art’s themselves.
This is something that sometimes perplexes Ian Barry - the motorcycle builder behind Falcon. He builds bikes to be ridden, not to sit in museums and galleries. He builds them for lovers of motorcycles, not for celebrities even though sometimes they are one and the same.
Bottom line, for all their functionality and performance characteristics, they are breathtakingly beautiful machines.
So now, against this backdrop and the kind of underground hysteria revolving around Falcon normally reserved for rock & roll bands, we are left scratching our heads thinking… ‘How can we have a piece of this?’
Well we might not be able to say ‘Been there, done that.’ but now we can say ‘Bought the T-shirt’.
By popular demand, Falcon have released a series of limited edition T-shirts. Only a total of 500 of these first limited editions have been produced and are available exclusively on their web-site for only $32.00 each.
These are going to be INSTANT collectors items, just like the bikes. Well, not just like the bikes, but you get the idea.
They are superb quality and beautifully printed using ecologically minded printing techniques. Not your run of the mill t-shirt - the softnessof the cotton, cut, stitching and all over design matches the thought and care that they put into the bikes.
