_ Welcome to
the website. My name's Keith Fryer and I work as a
photographer and writer specialising in classic motorcycles. For eight years I supplied
illustrated features to various magazines and
have built up an archive that I'd like to share with
you.
They take a detailed look at British motorcycles made from the 1940's to the 1980's, with some additions from other makes and years. I'll add to the mix by including some events, classic scooters and occasional life stories from all corners of the classic world, plus some new features as time allows.
Previously published articles have featured in either 'Classic Bike Guide' 'The Classic Motorcycle' or 'Classic Scooterist Scene' magazines, the articles describe how owners rebuilt or modified their motorcycle. There's also useful information on why they made the changes and what worked for them, including the answers to specific problems. We'll learn a bit about the owner, what they've ridden and why they chose the featured bike. At the end of each article there'll be a detailed specification, plus links to parts and services suppliers who can help with essential spares or in doing something you can't manage yourself.
I hope you enjoy reading about the bikes again; the difference this time is you're seeing the original text plus more pictures than were first published.
The Legal Stuff: I own the copyright in all the words and images on my websites and in the PDF articles. (© All Rights Reserved Keith Fryer / Phoenix Photo). The articles must not be copied, altered, published or distributed in any way without my prior agreement on terms and conditions, thank you.
For the record, I'm based near Brighton on the south coast of England; my regular patch includes the coastal stretch, the counties of Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Hampshire, with the occasional longer run thrown in for good measure.
I've been riding for over forty years, owning a variety of British, German and Japanese motorcycles. My current motorcycle is a rebuilt 1971 Norton 750 Commando, which I'm adapting to after 21 years of riding a 1979 RS BMW.
I also cover a wide range of motorcycle events and offer a 'feature article' style photography service for your motorcycle. Please click on Phoenix Photo to go to my main site where you'll find event reports and details of my other services.
Hope you enjoy the stories.
