A couple of frame grabs from the video project with @chrisbottoms. Really looking forward to this.
Mega thanks to @willow_springs_raceway @rammingspeed_racing and @chrisbottoms for the rare opportunity to spend the day spinning laps for the camera on some of my favorite builds at “the fastest road in the west”. It was a fantastic day with perfect weather, a killer crew and @motrizzle and @comandante_parra. Looking forward to the finished piece!
Back on track! As the world begins to spin again I grabbed the Kramer @kramermotorcyclesusa to spin a few laps with friends @letsridetrackdays. Love this machine!
Here we go :: Ducati 748 Biposto soon to be a significantly upgraded track bike. But we’ll be following the rulebook to stay within racing regulations (just in case 😉) .
Prepping a few bikes for a test and tune track day this upcoming weekend, at last.
A welcome visit today with some good friends.
The Suzuki GSX-R750’s are getting restless. Fortunately, trackdays are around the corner. 🏁🏁
Standing by...
I don’t take on service work, but when a good friend needs a few issues sorted with his beautiful 900SS, exceptions are made.
Things are still pretty quiet around here, so it was nice to see that @basemwasef had a chance to take the Superstrada 1100 out for a spin and write about it for @motorcyclistonline.
Digging through a box of photos (ca. 2001) I found a picture of my Honda CB750 cafe racer in my old Redhook, Brooklyn shop. Such a cool space- check out that penny tile floor.
With each step of any build I always want to stop and not add another thing- not hide something beautiful- especially, on full fairing machines. But each subsequent layer has its own unique contribution to the function and the design. And the Tamburini Ducati bodywork in full carbon (thanks @corsa_garage) is undeniably sexy, so right now I’m just going to admire this bike as is.
Making brackets and small parts can be time consuming, but pay off when finished and on the bike.
Go. Stop - NOS throttle housing and cable with a quick action throttle cam installed. Brembo RCS 19 master cylinder and soon to be modified carbon air runners also fitted up.
Wired // Cleaning up the stock harness into a more compact arrangement is like herding squirrels.
A few more pieces before the modified sub harnesses get tied together. The little items always take the longest to get right.
Moving along :: Next round of parts get installed.
Slipper : Fitted.
Plug and play. The motor and cooling system are in. A few more pieces to go...
Assembly. With the frame back from powder coating it’s time to build the chassis. Error: API requests are being delayed for this account. New posts will not be retrieved. Log in as an administrator and view the Instagram Feed settings page for more details.

Don’t worry the Superstrada and the Desmosedici strictly adhered to the social distancing guidelines.

That building has to be an artisanal coffee/beard oil shop by now!

Keep an eye out for it at any of the SoCal tracks in the near future and Laguna Seca in July! Photos by @jlvienne .

Needed a kill switch mount and integrated a gear indicator into it while I was at it.
Also dug up a KLS quickshifter, so we’ll see how that works out compared to others I’ve tried.

Also happily ditched the massive stock battery (which weighs approximately as much as a Honda Grom) for a 4 cell featherweight alternative.

Yoyodyne 38 degree slipper clutch. Dropping one of these in is about as easy as it gets.

Period correct, freshly rebuilt Ohlins forks and a Penske shock for suspension.
30mm offset triple.
6 piston narrow band PFM brakes. Aluminum race stay and rear sub frame.
And a perfect set of Marchesini magnesium wheels complete the rolling chassis.
