This Coffee Table-Worthy New Motorcycle Photo Book Is a Glorious Ode to the Biker Life

Born to be wild.

Photo books have allowed us to fully explore a number of esoteric interests—from the stunning milk maidens of Bavaria to the breathtaking beauty of black cars.

German publishing house teNeues is now offering a look into the biker life. Its new photo book, Custom Bike Life, is a glorious ode to customized motorcycles and the men behind them.

In all, the photo book offers “a visual tour of a tradition that traces its roots back to the 1960s, when people yearning for freedom felt the need to take things into their own hands.” 

It likewise boasts “photo-packed stories about individual bikes and the people who made them” as well as “opulent visuals and special reports that dive right into the current custom bike scene and motorcycle culture.”

At 224 pages and boasting 180 color and 20 black-and-white photos, Custom Bike Life is now available for pre-order through teNeues.
