PIÈCE DE RÉSISTANCE: Ducati 750SS by Cevennes Retro Motors.

The French are proud, passionate people who certainly love the finer things in life and know how to expertly craft them. Think of three French inventions off the top of your head, say Lingerie, Champagne and an Automobile, and instantly your day is guaranteed...

TURBO TIME: Turbocharged Ducati Monster ‘Strontium’ by Balamutti.

The Ducati Monster can arguably lay claim to saving the famous Italian brand, and what started out as a parts bin special under then owners Cagiva, has produced record sales and a cult following. From F1 drivers, stars of stage and screen, and the loyal...

RUSSIAN REVOLUTION: Ducati S2R ‘Sherwood’ by Drive-In Workshop.

Try as we might, we are largely a product of our environment and while some rebels manage to shake the confines of their ecosystem, most blend in like white on rice. Even in the subversive school of the custom motorcycle scene, we find that many stay true to...

SLAYER SCRAMBLER: 2016 Ducati Scrambler by Doublestar.

I clearly remember the day I got the custom bug, and I’m not talking about a hybrid strain of COVID but my passion for custom motorcycles. A friend and I had started what we called “Monster Monday,” where we’d get together and tinker with our Monsters...

Pepo vs. The World

Having sadly not yet had the opportunity to meet Pepo Rosell in person, nor seen his workshop I can only imagine a nutty professor style underground lair with countless shelves, reaching from floor to ceiling, laden with motorcycle...

de Bees Knees: Ducati 749s by deBolex Engineering

In 2014, during a sojourn in London, I happen upon lesser known motorcycle custom builder “Calum Debolex” as he’s known in my phone. His surname is Tidd-Pryce, or Pryce-Tidd, I’ve never been sure which way it goes, either way, he’s the man behind...

SPECIAL EDITION: Ducati 1198 S Corse by Radical Ducati
