Blitz Motorbikes – Unique Motorbikes, Vintage Machines & Edgy Fashion

Blitz Motorbikes

Riding on their vintage inspired motorbikes and showing the rest of the world their definition about the philosophy of life, is the talented duo Fred Jourden and Hugo Jezegabel. Their company is called Blitz Motorcycles and the boys decided to follow their passion and create a unique motorbike idea. What they do is make and transform  customise, hand finish motorcycles into unique, one-of-a-kind machines. They make it very clear that every project they undertake honours a legend while telling it’s own story.
For Men Style Fashion they are the new James Dean and Steve Mcqueen, motorbike fashionista’s for 2012. My mission is writing any article related to motorbike fashion and I don’t care how long it takes. I want to encourage, transform and re-vamp the man on the motorbike’s image. Hence why I am loving these two. More importantly I’m needing them to dictate the future motorbike fashion trends for 2013.
In there own words, Fred and Hugo state:

We’d rather have a little coverage in a fashion magazine, a design magazine or a women’s magazine than in a bike magazine. We’re trying to pull the bike out of its redneck world of bad taste, to bring it to something more edgy and beautiful. If we were to make a wish it would be exhibit a bike at MoMA.

These guys are exactly what the man on the motorbike for me should be all about. To show off their bikes in style by making sure what they wear matches the bike itself.  To show who ever is noticing that vintage is always unique and the clothes they wear state the man himself.

What is their Motorbike Style?

• Jackets – Depending on what day it is? Their unconventional motorbike jacket can be worn or not. Whether it’s vintage, Belstaff or blazer, they ride in style attitude.
• Male Grooming - Messrs Fred Jourden (who has a big beard) and Hugo Jezegabel (who has a smaller beard).
• Blitz Motorcycle Fashion Message - A jumper from Saint James, a T-shirt from Edwin, a pair of Edwin jeans and of course a vintage watch.
• Boots - Red Wing boots
• Helmet - They favour Davida helmets, which have the look of the 1960s.
• Sunglasses - Ray-bans, Aviators or whatever is needed to give that vintage flare while riding.

Their motorbike fashion and attitude inspirations

1. Italy’s Giacomo Agostini holds the all-time records for the greatest number of world championships and grand prix victories.
2. Bud Ekins, Steve McQueen’s friend. He was a stunt rider who made the jump on The Great Escape because the studio wouldn’t let McQueen do it.
3. Evel Knievel, because he made me dream as a kid.
4. Barry Sheene, who  married glamour model Stephanie McLean.They fell in instant motorbike lust while working together on a photo shoot for  Chrsyler.

Dream bike

Their dream bike would be a Vincent Black Lightning. An English brand which is very hard to get hold of.

Long hair and big beards. Not too many men can embrace this unkempt look and remain this cool

Notice the hair, notice the jacket, notice the t-shirt, notice it’s not the usual motorbike style
