Ducati Multistrada - Part Yamaha, part Honda, and part Aprilia. Just Google what a stock Multistrada looks like and you’ll have no clue how this came about. Let just talk about the exhaust, I pretty much considered it porn.

Buy this magazine and support these guys. They work really hard to keep the ‘Built Not Bought’ culture alive. I too need to support this culture as well, so I’m going to try and post more bobbers and brats… coming soon.

ulofi asked: I want to convert a motorcycle into a cafe racer, but I have no knowledge of motorcycles. Know a good shop in SLC that can do it? or maybe a person? Or is doing it my self easier and cheaper?
Doing it yourself will most certainly be cheaper but definitively not easier. First thing you should do is go register at dotheton.com. They have a wealth of knowledge that is unparalleled. It’s a beginners paradise for all things vintage motorcycles. Second, get a Clymers manual and study the hell out of it.
For parts and help with buying parts, use Dime City Cycles. Jason and Herm usually respond to your emails in less than 12 hours and know their stuff.
If you have cash to blow and want someone in SLC, then contact Andy from Pangea Speed. Andy builds some of the most unique bikes I’ve ever seen.
Good luck, and send some pictures of the progress!

Ducati 900SS - Don’t know much about this bike other than it’s a mid 90’s conversion. Very tastefully done. You can find these bike in good condition for about $2500-$3500. Where ever you want to go from there is up to you.

Casey Stoner To Retire
While not my favorite rider… he’s way too young to be retiring.
He’ll pull a Kimi Raikkonen. Race motorcross for a few years, have a stab at NASCAR, then come back and compete. I’m calling it now.

Triday’s Triumph Scrambler - The Rumbler, built by the Tridays teams in Europe. It’s radical. Beefed up tires and suspension, not to mention that insane 4-piston Supermoto braking system.
Everyone who owns a Scrambler should do this…. I’m on it.

1973 Honda CL350 - This doesn’t have the scrambler pipes like my old lady did but this bike is stunning. It’s been lowered 2” in the front and rear and the seat is so well done. Rack this up in the top 3 best CL350’s of all time.
Built by Woody over @ Do The Ton.

A Triumph Bonneville EFI that appears to have some Harley wheels on it, chopped and wrapped pipes, and a slimmed down seat. I’m surprised at how these minor changes have made such a big cosmetic change. Enjoy…

1973 Honda CB250 Steampunk ‘Isabel’ - I’ve been following this build by Andrew over on DoTheTon since early February and I don’t think there’s been a more interesting build to date. Amazing details, love the gauges… really not much to say but brilliant. Everything’s in it’s right place.

1969 Triumph TR6 - Built by Raccia Motorcycles. Minimal build with really clean lines. Never seen a front fork suspension like this before, matches the rear shock. Awesome bike.

Facebook Page
I’ve created a Facebook page just for kicks @ www.facebook.com/SaltCityCycles. I suck at using that website so we’ll see how it goes… In the meantime, here’s a picture of my dog Jax keeping watch and I work on the Scrambler.

A break from the vintage world and onto my Superbike obsession. The Ducati 1199 Panigale. Highest powered-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios among production motorcycles. What I wouldn’t do to ride one of these. I hate spouting off specs but I just had to on this one.
- 195 Horsepower @ 10,750 rpm
- Dry weight of 164kg/361.5lbs

This is a Ducati, well the engine is out of a Ducati 350 Scrambler. Everything else is custom. A moment of awe…
Please marvel at the exhaust winding through the frame then under the seat.
