G'Day, My name's Roy Hornsby and this is my site. I created it way back in 2002 and have continued to play around developing and updating it since then. Currently it contains 2 blogs, "royby.com" and "a weblog about weblogging" plus some projects and images and other stuff that I experiment with from time to time.

Olli Erkkila and the forkless cruiser
Posted 24/12/2009 in - royby.comThis forkless bicycle was a graduation project from 28 year old Finnish designer Olli Erkkila. It looks a bit odd but the video footage on the article page shows that it rides like a normal cycle.
Way cool, but could you dink someone on the handlebars I wonder!

(0) CommentsChicara liquid chrome art motorcycles
Posted 14/11/2008 in - royby.com
Japanese artist Chicara Nagata spent approximately 7,550 hours hand crafting each of these motorcycles which are on display at the ippodo gallery in New York City until January 31, 2009. Using ancient Harley Davidson and Honda moped engines Chicara has integrated contemporary craftsmanship and first-class engineering to create functional motorcycles that transcend into the world of art.
I know that I want one of these machines, but I believe that the price tag is around US$1 million each. A bit out of my price range. However, as i will be in NY next month I’ll try to get to the gallery and do a little bit of drooling.
