Ok I want to know more about this bike. all I could find was more of these pics but no info.   Anyone seen this bike or seen a thread on it somewhere?





looks an awful lot like a ducati paul smart to me.
That is the "New Blue" and it is a titanium Duc, neat article about Cook Neilson

some guy who looks like the ace cafe threw up on him  ;D



Sometimes it's easy to get carried away.  This guy went a little far with the checkered decals.  See if you can spot them all.  It's fun! 

But in the end it's a very nice looking bike.

The maximum temperature for a CPU is typically about 70ºC.  42ºC is a decent average temperature.

It is, I actually keep watching the video so I can hear the song.

i never get sick of this video. i think that is Clint Eastwood's rendition from Clint Eastwood sings cowboy favorites.

I wish my 750 could do this.

One of my wife's co-workers builds all sorts of custom vehicles.  He just finished his latest bobber.  I think it looks pretty good.  The tank, headlight bucket/speedo holder and several other bits were fabricated from scratch.

He says you've got to get used to cornering it.  It's like 3 inches off the ground.

3 inches off the ground? Does it even need a kickstand..?
