One of our most challenging (and exciting) projects of late is not a lamp or a motorcycle. It's our new website. Up til now our existence in Cyberspace has been scattered around between this blog (johnryland.posterous.com) our Facebook page and my Twitter. And frankly, even though it's been a mixed bag of random efforts, we can't complain about the response we've gotten. But our new website definitely ratchets up the quality in a big way.

Designed and built by a killer team at Big River Advertising here in Richmond, Virginia, the site gives you access to all the happenings at Classified Moto. Finally, we have a full gallery of Adam Ewing's incredible photographs so you don't have to backtrack through a year's worth of blog posts to see your favorite bikes.

The online store is also easily accessible should you decide to pick up a front end swap kit, lamp, poster, tee shirt — or of course, inquire about a moto build.

The new site will feature a blog that includes archived posts from this Posterous page as well as new entries on a regular basis. And speaking of Posterous, we'll be hanging out here with our 100+ subsribers as well.

Once again, we're stoked to be working with creative folks whose great talents have not gone to their heads. Everyone at Big River has been amazing, humble and down-to-earth with zero ego. And most of all, they get what we're trying to do with Classified Moto.

When you get a chance, visit the new site and see what we've been up to. It's a work in progress, so let us know what you think. Over the next few weeks, we'll be optimizing the site to make it better-stronger-faster, so a bug or two is to be expected.

Thanks again for all the support. It's been a blast so far. —JR
