Ruined

Curated by John Ryland of Richmond-based Classified Moto, Ruined showcases the raw creativity and industrial edge that have made the shop a cult favorite around the world. In John’s view, being told he’s “ruined” a perfectly good bike is a badge of honor—it means he’s taken a run-of-the-mill machine and turned it into something unexpected, personal, and unforgettable.

The exhibition features some of Classified Moto’s most recognized builds, including the motorcycle designed in 2014 for AMC’s The Walking Dead, built for the character Daryl Dixon (played by Norman Reedus). This one-of-a-kind bike became an instant icon, appearing in AMC’s promotional campaigns and displayed at events like San Diego Comic-Con.

Visitors to Ruined will have the rare opportunity to sit on Daryl’s bike and take photos—a hands-on moment few fans have ever experienced.
