I looked at it when I was looking for an extra Ducati for the garage. If that guy can get that, I should have bought it!

[moto] (http://www.ducatimonster.org/gallery/data/1845/bobber.jpg) Let me tells ya straight... The vertical head between your thighs is really damn cool. There's NOTHING between you and the mechanical contraption propelling your ass down the road too damned fast for both the suspension and the brakes. Nothing. It *did* get hot while sitting in traffic on hot CA days over 100'F, but what bike doesn't feel like a blast-furnace on wheels on those days! I do distinctly remember putting the side-stand down and just standing next to it a few times. You get the damned-est looks I tell ya... Although....try this one on for size. On cold mornings, you could sit ON the engine to warm your arse. Yes...you could and yes I did. It was so laughable at times it was hard to ride straight...or even see straight. The bike was a complete riot. And I miss it. A lot. And yes...if you're interested...she pops up for sale about every 2-3 months.

Stu is building a rigid chopper. With a Ducati engine. Let the purists begin poking their eyes out w/forks. That is all.

Title: Re: That didn't last long - Stu's old choppah Post by: red baron on May 19, 2010, 07:03:30 PM Nice to see that the owner saw fit to add a sticker to the bike. [roll]
Having Loris sign it means ???????? Did Loris help build, design, or fund it? make the beast with two backs off then and don't sign a piece of art ya douche. >:( Title: Re: That didn't last long - Stu's old choppah Post by: Duck-Stew on May 19, 2010, 07:21:52 PM I actually passed the Sharpie to Loris and had him sign the bike... While the flash bulbs of the press lit off like fireworks.
I guess the editors didn't see fit to print any of the photos, so that's why I never had the signature clear coated over. I was going to erase it eventually... Sold it before I got the chance.
