EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling garage in the suburbs of Hanoi, Vietnam, on June 4,2013. The image showcases an impressive collection of refurbished Russian-made Soviet-era "Ural" motorbikes and side-cars. Once utilized by Vietnamese police and military forces, these vintage vehicles have found new life as sought-after treasures for fans and collectors of classic bikes. The meticulous restoration process has transformed each Ural motorbike into a magnificent piece of history. These iconic machines are now available for purchase at approximately $5,000 USD per unit. With their distinctive design and rich heritage, they serve as a testament to Vietnam's past while also appealing to those with an appreciation for nostalgia. The photograph beautifully captures the organized chaos within the garage space. Rows upon rows of gleaming motorcycles stand proudly alongside their accompanying side-cars, creating a visually stunning scene that transports viewers back in time. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect - from the polished chrome accents to the carefully preserved insignias adorning each vehicle. Photographer Hoang Dinh Nam skillfully encapsulates this unique intersection between culture and machinery through his lens. This snapshot serves as both a visual tribute to Vietnam's enduring connection with Soviet-era technology and an invitation for enthusiasts worldwide to marvel at these remarkable pieces of automotive history.
