Latest revision as of 19:16, 11 March 2025
One of the things I do is make insane cycles (at least I think they are insane, others may disagree). Usually these are based on different models of Ducati. Whether it be a frame from one era, a tank from another, wheels from now and an engine from the future, I try to bring it all home in a clean, simple setup. Additionally I have rebuilt a few machines as well, making them lighter, faster, more agile and mo-betta looking. Below you will find a few of my past builds. They really never end, so even what you see here might be out of date from the bike's current state.

A 2001 S4 that I owned long long ago. After modifying it quiet a lot, the bike disappeared one day and after 16 years has come back to me. Its quite a story but the real fun begins now tearing the bike apart and really making it one of my bikes.
