V50 Street Tracker by Dova Motorcycles










Dova Motorcycles is born one year and a half ago near Seville, when Alex and Janderski Dova left  Carpe Diem Racer,  a workshop they had helped to found. They are specialists in Moto Guzzi and  guarantee to rebuild these bikes reliable and durable. The V50C under discussion has been commissioned by a client of Barcelona who, despite 900 miles away, decided that Alex and company were the right people to make his dream come true. The basic idea was to build a compact street-tracker. The V50C received a new subframe and rear fender that clean its line, the tank of a '76 Kawasaki KZ 750, an off-road handlebar from the USA, a Texas-style saddle and Avon tires mkII 4"x18" ee 5"x16". Several custom components complete the project, such as the wrapped custom exhaust. Simple, clean, elegant!

Sono specialisti in Moto Guzzi e garantiscono di restaurare queste moto in modo affidabile e durevole. La V50C in questione è stata commissionata da un cliente di Barcellona che, nonostante i 900 chilometri di distanza, ha deciso che Alex e company erano le persone giuste per realizzare il suo sogno. L' idea di base era quella realizzare una Street Tracker compatta . La V50C ha ricevuto un nuovo telaietto reggisella e parafango posteriore che ne puliscono la linea, il serbatoio di una Kawasaki kz 750 del '76, un manubrio da cross di provenienza USA, sella stile Texas e pneumatici Avon mkII 4"x18 " e e 5"x16 ". Numerosi accessori artigianali completano il progetto, come gli scarichi custom fasciati. Semplice, pulita, elegante!

Mama Tried è il nome dello show motociclistico al coperto che si tiene a partire da quest'anno a Milwaukee nel Wisconsin, per mostrare le "migliori, più pure e più insolite motociclette autocostruite nel Midwest". Lo spettacolo, tenutosi lo scorso 22 febbraio, ha presentato oltre 50 moto realizzate da costruttori di ogni genere: flat-tracker, hill climber, chopper e cafe racer.

CB1100 by Church of Choppers










It was a matter of time, soon or later someone would have modified the modern CB1100F. What you wouldn't expect is that the builder is Jeff Wright of The Church of Choppers. Effectively, Jeff is a former road racer and enduro rider, so no wonder if his CB1100 features a lot of sophisticated Japanese aftermarket components, including a rare custom Yoshimura exhaust, as well as lots of hand-made details. Shot at the recent Mama Tried in Wisconsin. 





Era solo questione di tempo, e prima o poi qualcuno avrebbe modificato la moderna CB1100F. Quello che non ci si aspettava è che costui fosse Jeff Wright di The Church of Choppers. Effettivamente, Jeff è un ex corridore stradale e di enduro, e dunque non c'è da stupirsi se la sua CB1100 presenta un sacco di sofisticati componenti aftermarket giapponesi, tra cui uno raro scarico custom Yoshimura, così come moltissimi dettagli artigianali.
