Looks rougher than Desperate Dan's chin.
Do you know anything about it?
I am intrigued.

Hmm.. while I appreciate the effort that's gone into it, that frame looks a bit of a lash up

Look at the dubious way the motor is supported. It's usually a stressed member in ducati's, but I can't see any front/upper hanger on this chop. Looks extremely dodgy from a strength and safety angle, and probably wouldn't get an SVA/MOT ticket in the UK :thumbsdown:

Hmm, that looks interesting! :S

[gary tompkins]

This is how a 'pro' builder would do it..

Yes GT but one prob done on a $30.00 budget and one on a $30.000 budget

i like it maybe he was just using up some odd bits found in his shed.

seat don't look that comfy!

Built by a Thai mechanic who earns £100 a month , parts scrounged from anywhere ,but built with passion for the biker life the bike probably cost him 4 years wages and is a massive commitment

Seen at the Burapha show yesterday in Pattaya , over 10,000 bikes at the show , saw about 10 ducatis.

I quite like it in a funny sort of way. It sticks with the Monster idea of simolicity and less is more. It's not totally pretty and a bit rough around the edges, but a bit of work with a spray gun and some polish and it has a sort of economy/simplicity and dare I say it, elegance.

It's the genuine article.

[LouSCannon]

Does it come with a touring seat?

[skank]

awesome, just awesome.

[big pete]

Better looking than some of the things that come out of OCC!!!

[Nickj]

Well the engine is nice and accessible... Hey no carbs to balance either.

Kudos to the guy for making his dream move

[Diego]

great effort. very cool.

[jerry]

eventually he will be able to afford paint ,chrome etc , the forks are home made as are most of the parts .
