Chopper Live 2

Normally, I take this thing for what it is. Made for TV motorcycles. A season end side show of the big names in prime time television. A ratings ploy to see off the decades long soap opera and usher in the new guys that will replace it. But I was impressed and surprised to see the finished product of what I was suspecting to be another circus act of cobbled up theme bikes. In fact, there's only 1 this time. And I normaly wouldn't give this thing a mention, but I was so surprised with the switch in thought and execution that it got me thinking. Has real motorcycling finally made it back around?

Saturday Night Specials

The Cafe edition.

First up. The latest from RAD Ducati. Absolutely love their bikes, and really dig'n the styling on this one.




Unsure of the builder, but it's based on a Suzuki Goose 250. Gorgeous work. 





Kraus Motor Co. newest build. Another stunning example of thinking outside the box, while mixing old and new design. Shovelhead motor, Fox Air adjust shocks all around. Aluminum bodywork, Brass plated frame!?, and stainless steel accents. Beautiful.
