Chris Hornbecker photography work

"When you’re a self-taught person, there’s no one standing over your shoulder telling you what you can or can’t do. The impossible becomes possible. Spurred by my curiosity to see what can happen, I take on challenges like shooting 368 people in 6 days.
Looking back, I see that my photography has evolved through a series of challenging practices, one driving the other. From skateboarding, snowboarding and dj’ing, where I learned about timing, flexibility, and trusting my instincts, to sewing where I used my design and visual skills, all have influenced one another and, ultimately, affected the way I shoot.
One day, when a friend asked me to assist him, my focus became clear: I started photo assisting fulltime. I worked hard for seven years to help other photographers look good. Then I struck out on my own.
Now I’m driven by the challenge of capturing my imagination in the frame, pulling out the honesty in every subject, bringing what I can see in my own head into a moment in real time."

Currently, he don't have finished custom gallery website yet, but he is working on it if you want you can take a look at their personal work on his website: Chris Hornbecker Photographer

2012-01-21T13:04:00.001+01:00

Had already spoken of Lars Gustavsson of Sweden, in another entry, in it, presented his SR 400, you can refresh your memory, HERE. Lars, for this 2012, had introduced changes in it, as a two front dorsal, covering part of the engine, made of fiberglass, new handlebar lower, more Caferacer, new front headlight in black, a Handmade gas cap, etc ... and part of it, just launched a new brand, Farmer's racer, and a new website, which oddly enough, you can buy farmer clogs, typical of Sweden, a sickle, matter of tradition and personality, and tarpaulins, rubber does not get dirty while working on your bike, made of car recycling tires. curious?

Yearning Riding September.....

2012-01-19T09:40:00.002+01:00

I don't know you, but I need to play this video from time to time, is the video of good cheer, of good friends, coming together to make a motorbike trip, good weather, fair weather to enjoy warmth and air in your arms, feel master of the road, the inevitable stories of travel and so grateful when you get to destination beers .... and especially the naive feeling that maybe we can be free if only for a moment ... you dream with me?
........................................................................................................................................................
No se vosotros, pero yo necesito ponerme este vídeo de vez en cuando, es el vídeo del buen rollo, de los buenos amigos que se reúnen para hacer la salidita en moto, buen tiempo, el clima justo de calorcito como para poder disfrutar del aire en tus brazos, el sentirte dueño y señor de la carretera, las anécdotas inevitables del viaje y las tan agradecidas birras cuando llegas a destino.... y sobretodo la sensación ingenua de que tal vez podamos ser libres aunque solo sea por unos instantes...soñáis conmigo?

Levis and Wrenchmonees, Locals Only Copenhagen

2012-01-17T09:10:00.000+01:00

Asked about the essence of motorcycling, Copenhagen local Per Nielsen will keep his answer fittingly short and clean; in fact, he will say no more than a single word at first: “Presence.”

His crew The Wrenchmonkees has long established itself as a commanding force and seminal presence in the world of stainless steel and powerful engines. Internationally known for their matchless custom motorcycle creations, Per explains his search for the ultimate road beast and presents his very own thoughts and feelings about “Motorcycle Maintenance”.

Linking their shared love for skateboarding, DIY culture, rock & roll, the sound of engines going, and clean shapes, the Copenhagen-based crew never cared so much about extreme performance, loud colors or the latest designs; instead, they are interested in “the basic expression of life on a motorbike”.

In short: these guys focus on unique machines, a clean, raw and no-frills aesthetic, and ultimately a timeless experience on two wheels.

"Magnus" The new Chang Jiang 750 by Bandit9

2011-12-05T19:13:00.002+01:00

I already had mentioned Bandit 9 in another post, the builder of China showed us his new Chang Jiang 750 "Loki", you can see it here, and now we are very proud to Exclusively reveal His second build, the stunning "Magnus". Daryl Villanueva, has sent me some pics of Magnus, and a description of the new project. We can expect to see more great custom motorcycles rolling out of the Bandit9 workshop, Daryl! I'm sure! ;) Enjoy!

"A lot of people have taken notice of our first project, Loki. We received very positive and constructive feedback. Now with more experience here in China, we wanted to reinvent the Chang Jiang. We’re happy to present our second bike, Magnus, the second bike to roll out of Bandit9.

One of the coolest things about Magnus is it's colour. We couldn't go with a regular paint job since the bike's personality needed something special. I wanted to get an appearance no other shop could replicate, which is especially important in China. I took a blowtorch and lit the tank, frame and fork on fire. After clearing the burnt outer layer, what was left was this organic pattern on the metal. The tank has a really unusual stone-like look.

The form of the bike is very different from the usual Chang Jiang. I wanted Magnus to look and to feel much lighter than the bulky style the CJ750's often have. By taking off the back fender the bike is more sleek and agile. The seat position flows with the lines of the bike, so you can't even see it when you're riding it".

"I'm always looking for ways to simplify and my bikes. Most CJ750's have so many extra pieces that really don't need to be there. I want to keep only the essentials and throw out the rest".

"The smaller custom air filter gives the bike’s profile a nice void. I used the same short style exhausts from Loki, this time with a chrome finish. The exposed chrome suspension gives the bike a nice finish. I've never seen twin headlights on a CJ, so its definitely a new touch for the bike. I took the speedometer from the original CJ headlight and used the dial by itself. The rough edges of it add to the rawness of the bike.

I had to get creative to make every inch of Magnus special, since resources are very limited here in China. I used an old crank shaft to redesign the gas cap. It’s really unique and gives it a steampunk look. It’s probably my favorite aspect of Magnus.
We hope Magnus will bring Bandit9 beyond the motorcycle world and into the realm of art. Our new site is up - www.banditnine.com - a special thanks to Niamh Daly for taking care of the site. Loki and Magnus are now officially for sale; details on the site. Bandit #3 is on the way".

Black Falcon by Falcon Motorcycles

2011-12-05T00:24:00.000+01:00

Built off the 1,000 cc V-twin engine of a 1952 Vincent Black Shadow, the Black Falcon took a year to build. Almost everything, except the engine, is handmade. When does a motorcycle become Art? Enjoy!

1978 Honda CM 185T by John Ryland of Classified Moto

2011-12-03T12:12:00.003+01:00

Once again, John Ryland of Classified Moto, we surprise with his new creation, this beautiful honda CM 185T of 1978, was built it specially for Ad agency producer Christina Cairo. Aparently she had never ridden a motorcycle before, but loved what Classified Moto were doing and wanted one for herself, like most mortals, I suppose.
There are lots of little bits of personality on this motorcycle, including a quick release nickel-plated basket that incorporates an old Cypress Gardens water ski. The taillight is made from a stainless steel fishing rod holder, the tank was take it from a 1970s Suzuki trail bike and created a stripe out of copper, i love the result! I think it's definitely a bike that you may like or not , but it's clear, that reflects creativity on all sides, and this certainly, can not come from another person, the magician of recycling, John Ryland.

Adam Ewing has again captured some amazing shots of the bike. Enjoy!
