This exhibition of custom bikes at San Francisco' s Museum of Craft and Design looks superb. There are a few bikes that have been in Sideburn over the years and plenty of others from builders we admire. The exhibition was curated by ex-pat Brit, Hugo Eccles of Untitled Motorcycles.
It's cruel that the run, like so many things, has been derailed by Covid. The museum has put a 3D 'interactive' tour option on their website. I didn't get on with it too well, it was too fisheye distorted for me to spend much time with it, but perhaps you'll like it.
The blurb says... 'MOTO MMXX will challenge the audience’s perception of the traditional motorcycle and highlight possible directions that the industry is going, can go or should go. It will showcase the actors and supporting characters, who design and build contemporary custom motorcycles using both traditional crafts and state-of-the-art technologies.'
The exhibition runs until 3 January 2021. Check opening times before travelling, of course. Visit sfmcd.org for details
