Ray Gordon

Most notable photographers can point to one iconic shot that catapulted them into the public eye. In Ray Gordon’s case, it’s his image of Thor Drake’s SR500 ‘Dirt Rod’ flying through the air. Here are three more shots from Gordon’s portfolio; they’re all Thor Drake bikes, and they all have Gordon’s dynamic signature style. The bike bottom left is Dirt Rod from a different angle. The white machine top right is ‘Grandpa’, a Honda XR400 with a Yamaha R6 front end and a beat up Honda CB400F tank. And at bottom right we have the ‘Travis Push Powered Chopper’. According to Drake, it “now sits at the back of the shop awaiting a CB350 motor that runs on gas, and someone who is mad enough to spend the time to do it.” See more of Ray Gordon’s work here.
