“HOWL”
THE NEW SEVENTY-TWO
Really not into the bike, but it’s a very nicely filmed/edited/graded video. A little cliche at times, but what isn’t nowadays.

Mule ‘Stealth’ sportster
Love this.


Stock Sportster frame that has the rear half extensively modified, 89ci (1460cc) motor with S&S carb, Morris wheels, Paoli forks, RaceTech shocks, Brembo front rotors came from Jan Wilem at Dutch Bros. The rest of the bike has numerous handmade parts and it’s called the “Stealth” bike. It hauls ass and rides great. I have two more in work as a result of this bike. One with a customer, one without.

S383 – Sylvain Berneron 2012 Diploma Project
A big thank you to Sylvain for the sending me these images of his Diploma project to share with you exclusively on DDC.
You can click to view them bigger.
This concept has the following innovations:
- 2X2X2 architecture (2 powered and guiding wheels)
– Variable wind penetration (aero brakes on the sides)
– Movable seat (it follows the rider’s body on the sides while cornering, improving weight transfert)
– All integrated wheels (suspensions in the tires / engine and brakes included in the same unit, one for each wheel)
– The whole chassis is a single fixed part, including batteries and controllers.
“I have been doing nothing but working during the last 6 weeks and here is the result, full size clay model made AT home!”
Sylvain asked me if I could also include a Poll to find out what you thought of his project. I advised him against it, but this was his reply. Brave man.
I know in one hand it might be hard to accept if i get some massive bad feedback, but in the other I really want to know what people think about it and it is probably the only chance I have. And with the time I learned how to take a bit of distance with my work, so if you don’t mind, i guess I’ll take the risk!

KTM Moto3 – More photos
I have always been a fan of small CC bikes. IMHO It’s just way more fun ragging a light, screaming small bike flat out, than riding a fast heavy bike slow. This thing is 250cc of street racing perfection.


Looks crazy compact.

That riding position looks kind of intense. I love the design (good job KISKA/KTM/Maxime!) but it makes me want to rip the fairing off, put some mx bars on it, change a few other things and take it for a ride around here. When it gets warmer than the current -16 it is at the moment mind you.
