Walt Siegl - Designer and Intellectual Provocateur For Two Wheeled Greatness


Watl Siegl - motorcycle designer and intellectual provocateur for two wheeled greatness
A few years back I happened across some of the builds from Walt Siegl and they struck me in a unique way. Many bikes are assembled from a menagerie of parts and reconfigured to have a unique stance and profile. The bikes that come from Walt's shop seem to breathe new life and in a way that begs the viewer to walk in circles around the machine. You begin to take in all the nuances which is visage of pure functionality, yet could double as a sculpture in any high end gallery. Viewing works by craftsmen like this make me realize there is still so much to learn.
