Title: Custom Ducati Post by ToesNose on 05/02/13 at 08:36:16 I was over at my buddy Ricky's shop this morning check out this crazy custom bike he made, 944cc Ducati engine the rest is all custom made. I don't go for modern looking show bikes, but it's really impessive in person. http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy206/bcrx2/Ricky2_zps401af67d.jpg |

Title: Re: Custom Ducati Post by Face on 05/03/13 at 17:55:28 As a Ducati owner, I have to chime in here. A) hideous B) no disrespect to your buddy, but it's not that custom. Primarily, bolt on stuff + a raked steering head. Underneath all the tacky, it's pretty well all Ducati. An ST2 with a Monster SS swingarm if I'm not mistaken. Even the tank looks stock. C) to each his own, I don't like it, but others might. And that's OK, it's what makes custom bikes so much fun. Even if someone doesn't like what you've done, if you get a reaction (good or bad) you've done something right. |

Title: Re: Custom Ducati Post by Jiggyfly on 05/03/13 at 22:24:51 I've owned 4........& have to admit, the only part of this I like is where I can still see stock Ducati. I've owned 125ish motorcycles. Those 4 Ducati's represent 4 out of my top 5. It's very, very, very difficult to being the soul that a 90degree, 2 valve, air-cooled Ducati engine has, to the game, in another configuration. My Aprilia SXV450 was pretty nasty. |

[/quote] Just back from a 10 day offroad tour of Sicily (including climbing up, then skeeting down Mt.Etna as it was erupting) and what do I see ? THIS ? :o It's OK, I've seen worse... MotoGuzzis with tractor tires and plows, and Harleys rebuilt into café racers... ;D ;D ;D |

Title: Re: Custom Ducati Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/05/13 at 09:27:07 I cringe when I see a pickup truck with flashy wheels & low profile tires. Hurts even worse when its lowered. Wanna go for absolute disgust? Throw a custom paint job on it so that not only has its use as a pickup been ruined by the "Modifications", its now become too valuable to touch, for fear of scratching it. Why buy a pickup if you want butt jewelery? That Duc isnt "modified", its been vandalized. |

To each his own. I've heard that argument about trucks many times, but hey, it's custom/personalized and I respect that. I have a 2+ body trunk that's filled with hydraulic pumps and batteries. People say "you can't fit a lot of luggage in there now." Well I'm not exactly driving this car to the airport! ::) ;D |

Title: Re: Custom Ducati Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/06/13 at 10:29:55 Yea,, IM just an old fuddy duddy. I know that about me. I like stuff that works & Im just not very artsy fartsy. If I raise a flower, its to be a companion to a garden plant & its gonna DO something for me, not just be pretty. Im trying so hard to remember a word. Its so succinct in describing me. My truck just makes my blood boil. Its an 87 F150/XLT, 2 tone gold on green, running boards, bug deflector, tie downs on the bedsides & a chrome tailgate cap. 300 CID 6 banger, 4 speed. It pulls a trailer with 32 cubic feet of mulch & its like theres nothing back there. Its no sweat pulling away from a stop. Its a little slower, but gee, its not straining,, Its Perfect for ME. I LIKe that truck,, There are newer & prettier that I dont want. Even a straight swap.. |

Title: Re: Custom Ducati Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/06/13 at 11:21:36 Yes, I really was hoping someone would think of the word I am Still trying to drag up outta those files buried under the haze of antiquity. The words you offered werent quite what Im hunting, but Thank You for TRying,, The word IM looking for is one that describes someone who leans toward functionality, usefulness,, along those lines,, Im really thinking it starts with an A,, but, maybe not,, Ill thgink of it in a day or two.. & then wont remember where it was I wanted it.. Aaaaarrrggghhhh! |
