Kawasaki KZ750 by Valtoron
Valdetorres is a small town in western Spain, near the Portuguese border. The area is known for its extremes of heat and cold, with fierce winds blowing across desolate plains. An appropriate setting, then, for a traditional sculptor’s forge. Valtoron is one such forge, run… Read more »
