If you follow my blog, you’ll know all about Falcon. If you don’t then get ready.I was on a shoot in Big Sur and I mentioned Falcon to Jason O’Dell (a superb photographer by the way). He and his assistant dropped their sandwiches when I told them that these guys were our friends and that we worked with them in various capacities (I must add that thankfully none of those capacities involved the actual building of bikes!). They then proceeded to tell me what they knew about how Ian built this, the latest Falcon - The Kestrel. And it was a lot (none of which made much sense to me as they were talking about overhead manifold sprockets and diagnostic bearing attaches, or something like that).
Now, the Bullet, being the first Falcon Motorcycle (that belongs to actor Jason Lee) has a place in history that can never be taken away, so it was a tall order for Ian Barry and Amarylis Knight to create something that could even compete with the Bullet, let alone surpass it.
Well in many people’s eyes, they did just that.
So bike lovers, wait until you’re alone, then get your tissues at the ready. You’re gonna need them.
BTW… this video is in HD so go to full screen baby.
