GUYS! Guess where I’m almost surely going this year? BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS FOR THE SPEED TRIALS!
I’ll be heading down with an amazing group- the Bjorklund Sodium Distortion team (check out their website- Super Rat website). 
They’re going for four land speed records with this amazing custom Ducati S4RS. And I get to document the whole thing with my camera! (And maybe even ride it…)

Monster Project: Phase 13

So, dealing with the wheels turned out to be more of a hassle than I thought- as it always happens with the Monster Project. I got the runaround from different shops about how much getting my wheels stripped would be… no one would just tell me where they take their wheels to get stripped in Portland. A couple people told me they shipped them out of the city. Wtf? Finally, after going to a place that said they could do it… a kind gentleman that worked there told me I should save myself the time and go straight to the source. American Metal Cleaning on Vancouver Ave. It was the that easy. 

So then came the task of pulling my bearings (another thing I neglected to realize). Yes, I am obviously totally new to this. But hey! I did it!

Hi, quick question, you maybe able to help me. I am searching for a Ducati SportsClassic front hub, or a hub that could allocate a double front SportsClassic rotors pair. Do you know were I could ask for this part? Thanks in advance. Great blog, btw. Keep it coming! — Asked by Anonymous

Since I don’t know the answer to this I would a) call a Ducati dealership (MotoCorsa- the one I work at is awesome…. 503.292.7488) or b) Have someone fabricate one for you.

Hope that helps… sorry I don’t know more. Oh and thanks for the compliment! :)

Okay POST SCRIPT: Hey douchebag who wrote me an anonymous msg- “Fabricate a hub? lol yeah right.” I’m fuckin’ tired and I read it wrong so give me a break.

You might be thinking, “wtf am I looking at?” Well my friends, you’re looking at a motorcycle constructed by a Frenchman from a broken Citroën 2CV automobile. Emile Laray was stranded in the Moroccan desert with only ten days worth of rations… did he shrivel up and die? No. He built himself a damn motorcycle in true badass apocalypse fashion. Now that is custom!
