Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Awesome Ducati 916

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

I finally have some pictures of a Ducati 916 that I painted last winter. The owner had crashed the bike pretty good and it needed a whole set of bodywork. I recommended that he order a set of carbon fiber panels from QB Carbon in England. They make some very nice parts.

This is a good video that shows the first steps in learning to do wheelies. Good to see these guys are off-road and wearing good protective gear. The road in front of your house is not a good place to try this stuff even if your girlfriend is watching. Find an old warehouse complex with [...]

Monday, August 13th, 2007

You might want to check out the new online magazine www.motivemag.com if you are like me and just love stuff with motors. Granted, it is a mostly auto oriented site so far, but they do have a good article on Harley’s V-Rod- the good the bad and the marketing behind it. It is actually one [...]
