A lot of guys get all bent when a Buell becomes a donor to a chopper...can you imagine what the Ducatisti are screamin' when they see this??

That was featured in a recent Cycle World "american flyers" section. Unique and dare I say cool?

They are NOT KIT bikes, lots of thought in the "red" one, I have to laugh at the add on the link, will "supprise" novice sport bikers, in the twisties, I guess that they will fall off laughing?

cut up a ridable scooter waste, sad waste of beautiful Italian craft work, but nice workmanship on both.
what ever.....

It looks like it would feel weird sitting on it with a rake like that..

only H-Ds being considered "real choppers" is a relatively new thing. There used
to be loads of triumph, Honda, Norton, even bsa choppers.

The lifestyle thing has corrupted peoples ideas, and creativity. glad to see there
are still original thinkers in the chopper game. Not like the typical "I have a
Custom Chrome catalog, So I'm now a custom bike builder" mentality that seems
so pervasive these days.

Ok, rant off.

I have been to Mike's shop in Encinitas. His bikes are beautiful.

Sound good too!

I never said it wasn't creative...just that a "Ducatisti" would probably blow a head gasket. The execution of both Ducs is flawless. A ton of fabrication and craftmanship are easily seen.

Speaking of Triumph choppers, here's an example of new school meets old school:

" We started with a brand new Thruxton and then threw away all the BS that was on it."
Ouch...that's a little harsh.

sweet sweet trumpets! My brother, diablomichael has one. No pics yet, it is in final assembly now. He just got the tins back
from paint. I hate to tell Him this, but I dig the style, if not the performance. Hey Michael, don't read this post.
