My competitive “pit crew” showing their support.
Flashback to the photo shoot with @themightymotor and the recently completed Ducati SuperStrada 1100.
Piece by Piece. Yamaha RZV500R.
I’ve always said that pure luck doesn’t exist. Rather it’s a combination of opportunity and preparedness meeting.
It’s taken awhile to get each of these components with everything going on in the world, but wow, it’s worth it.
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.

Dymag wheels and Nitron forks fitted up with the custom triple and brakes. It’s not a roller yet...more of a wheelbarrow, but more good stuff is in the works.

However, when @motrizzle and @motorcycle_com asked me to stand in for a day of shooting with the new Ducati Superleggera that was just straight up pure luck!
Huge thanks to those guys and @phil_readjr for the opportunity to ride as close to a MotoGP bike as possible. 234hp/330lbs.

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.
