the OFFICIAL Bikes of the DMF

[Raux]

The seat is a Saddle Box seat made by a guy in France. It has a lockable "boot" in the rear where you can store quite a bit of stuff. He hand makes them and they are all molded and really well made. The seat is very very comfortable as well. 600km ride and the butt is fine. I can carry my tool kit, puncture repair kit, my Canon G9 camera and a my glasses in the boot on a day ride. So no more back pack...... 

and you are going to tell everyone how to find this guy???

My Italian.

Things I've done.
Removed the Charcoal canister, replaced shroud with Euro from MotoWheels (yeah sponsors!) and rerouted tubing
Painted 'Brembo' (better than the whole caliper red)
Painted the front exhaust shield black to flow into the frame lines better
Painted the headlight bracket (why it was ever not black makes me wonder)
Painted the exhaust hangers black (again to flow into the frame lines)
Replace all headlights with bright whites (4000K for main and high beam, 3300K for midlight)
Replace long tail with Tidy Tail from RG Racing
Put on reflective pearl white stripes on the rims
Removed front fork reflectors
Removed frame stickers
Replaced stock seat with a DP seat (purchased at the time of the bike from AMS in Dallas)
oh almost forgot, 14T front sprocket

Nice action shot! I don't think I have the balls to do that! I think I'm gonna start pulling the talent out of my S4 (and me)!

The Bike is the DMF (and a lil tob )

The bikes frame, and most of the parts are from a 900, the engine is a carbed 750.

Steve Baron aka Trouble painted the bike. John Ryti aka ducman851 assembled the bike, using parts donated by DMF/DML family members.
Some parts were donated, and some parts were paid for using monetary donations, sent in from all over the world. I think, if I remember correctly, the chain was off one of the Bostrom boys bikes.
Not that I want to send people back to TOB, but there is an entire section explaining the whole story. Someday, I'll write down a lil history of the bike, and submit it as a bike of the moment.
The exhaust is a polished set of Ducati Performance megaphones (they be loud  )

Long story short.... the kind and generous people here, gave her to me as a wedding gift (along with a veeeeeery nice honeymoon)

If I live a thousand lifetimes, I'll never be able to repay the kindness you all have give me and Michelle (das wifey)

This coming weekend, she travels north to be at La Ducati Days
