Who complains that the Royal Enfield is not made like it used to? In India, this motorcycle manufacturer is still producing machines the way it always has. They respect hand craft right down to their fuel tank design. It`s very difficult to comprehend that not so long ago, every kind of vehicle was made available with hand painted details.
But over time, industrialization and technology have been drastically improved. And with the introduction of vinyl and vinyl cutters this art is nearly forgotten. So people like this one in the video are definitely the keepers of a dying art.
Workers at this Indian motorcycle manufacturer are really keeping it old school! And the workers have been kind enough to show us how this is still done today. We can see the company`s beautiful fuel tank design. You can`t but admire the passion these workers are investing into their work. And they must be prideful of their work because rarely who does this today.
The fuel tank design is just astonishing. It`s decorated with two identical golden stripes which are of course, painted by hand. In this next video we can see two artists doing a marvelous artistry! In the video description it says that the artist here is an artist just like his father before him was. So, is this being passed from generation to generation in India? That is very fascinating. They are truly the keepers of this lost art. And in times like these, that truly matters!
You can see the astonishing technique this guy uses in order to make such a fuel tank design. This type of art requires special hands and lots and lots of training. His technique is so precise that we can`t stop but wonder, who needs machines when you got people like this, right?!
