Back in 2010, a new custom motorcycles scene was born in Europe. Hugo Jezegabel and Fred Jourden both decided to quit their salaried lives, Hugo as a landscape designer and Fred as head of marketing for an online company by day and a mechanic by night.
Together they created the Paris-based garage 'Blitz Motorcycles', dreaming of building beautiful and unique custom motorcycles only upon commission. This book charts their journey and incarnates their global philosophy. Featuring the most iconic pictures of their adventure, it reveals both the motorcycles they've built and the road trips they've undertaken, amid the backdrop of the most incredible scenery Europe has to offer. AUTHORS: Before co-founding Blitz Motorcycle, Hugo Jezegabel was a landscape designer and a vintage scooter enthusiast. In 2004-2005, Fred Jourden took mechanics maintenance night classes, with plans to service his own daily ride (a '61 R50/2 BMW), while he was head of European Marketing for an online based company. Along the way, they met and realised a shared philosophy, quitting their day jobs and creating 'Blitz Motorcycles'. 130 colour illustrations
