Featured Ducati 800ss “classic”

Nerver ever

 

This was the final result, The low registration plate and brown seat didn't convince me so I made a more classic style

If this was my bike a would invested a little bit more money making it better but as cheap compromise I believe it looks ok

 

Hair dresser?

 

Done is done, Now I’m in a deep meditation thinking what to do with my old T140d

 

I begun as young child doing the mantinence on my small wheel Suzuki Rm 50cc mini cross and haven’t stopped with bikes since.
I have had a company also involved in racing building composite body’s for GT cars, specially involved with Porsche.

 

England is full of marvelous craftsmanship and that is a fact!
I’m a big fan of everything on wheels from kit cars, track cars, superbikes to classics motorcycles, and what I do isn't nothing special, My stuff is just what a amateur can make with basic tool at home.
As an example
Just to have fun at the local track I converted VW FunCup car swapping the old golf 1,8L engine for a Audi S4 4.2L V8 and Porsche hubes and wheels.
It didn’t cost much to do and I Gad the money back ones it was sold after a couple of years of fun, Did I discover something new, No I just put old parts together

And you better come over here northern Europe is to cold for old tropical vikings
Cheers

I was born in Sweden but at 15 me and my parents moved to the Canary island, I went around living in other places but as time past I had the feeling I belong to this small islands in the middle of nothing.
The clime is good, people nice (mostly) and you can still leave children playing alone in the park with out worry about them, Sad to say but safety is luxury in this world,

 

That’s very flattering, I have never seen myself as more then a handy person who has the opportunity to make what I most like to do at my spare time.

The first stages on a new project is very intensive, I lay in bed during the night just “day dreaming”.
Second step is when I beguine poring the bike to parts having a more close look.
Third, I have a small blue plastic stool who my daughter used when she was a small child, I use to sit on it and look at the bike just fantasying very often during the process.
4., I cut off parts I don’t like, bleed and swears...

Normaly I don’t know how the bike will be until it’s finished, as I use to change mind frequently as things goes on....
Many times I choose colours in the same paint shop..

So I’m decently not a professional!
And it’s exactly that I enjoy most.

At work I’m professional (Today I have been doing a helideck certification at a oil rig).
Doing my hobby it’s just a matter of passion and improvisation, nothing serious at all!
Just a game

 

Just do it, and if it’s not good just do it again and again again again until you feel satisfied.

But one very important thing is having a small blue children plastic stool..
