HUH???!!!

I just had a flashback to our "Rev-Off" at 2009 MotoGP @ Laguna...

With all the people on the hill behind us cheering... And Rich giving up...




That was fun!

Oh yeah! I had forgotten about that...  I was more thinking about La Ducati Day '07 and the Ducati music challenge.  I didn't win (lack of tone), but the SS2R & the Coup D'état were the two loudest bikes by a fair margin!!!

Hey Stu, what rearsets are those that you are using on the bike? They look great! Really cleans up the back end.

[Duck-Stew]

They're old Pro-Italia units which are no longer available.

I'm obviously not spending enough time on this forum! I havn't seen this thread before!!

Stu, you certainly are a man of vision!  nice work!

how do you do that? do you do a drawing first, or does it all come together in your head before (or during) the build?

[Duck-Stew]

My design process is usually this (sometimes though; it just 'comes to me')...

1) Assess where the customer's bike is right now.
2) GRILL the crap out of the customer as to what they want out of the build.
3) Ask what the customer dislikes about their bike and why.

Using those three points, I try to mentally create a line and then extrapolate further than what they want to something they didn't even know they wanted...  So far, I'm 100% successful.
