Yamaha RD350 LC by Jason from Germany
Jason sent in his RD 350 scrambler some time ago. Nice to see a 2-stroke as a basis! Looks like loads of fun to drive. Thanks Jason!
Suzuki DR750- Urban Moto
Volker Schmidt lost 40 kilos (88 pounds) and so can you! Starting with a Suzuki Dr650, Volker Schmidt began removing everything not essential and using lightened versions of essential pieces. Power was increased with the addition of a 750cc engine and a Devil exhaust. Handling was improved with the help of Wilbers springs cushioning 17-inch rims. A steel-braided brake lines and a wavy rotor improve braking feedback and a cafe style seat means being able to handle the engine vibration feedback for many miles.
Volker’s bike lost 40 kilos on the remove-what-you-don’t-need-and-replace-what you-can-afford-to-diet and all he gained was jealous stares from his Wiesbaden, Germany neighbors. Lose weight, don’t wait.

Hang in there Steve, we’ll help you out! Introducing myself as one of the guest bloggers
Ha, my moment of fame! It’s a great honor for me to be a guest blogger for MPOTD. So who am I? Well, I am still trying to find that out, but I’ll share some facts; the name is Ton Stam, 38 years old, and I live in the beautiful Netherlands. I have built a couple of custom bikes, ranging from streetfighters to scramblers. Nowadays I have a weakness for customized oldies, but I still LOVE modern bikes that have been changed into something more personal.
Now for some hardware, this is my home-built Wrenchmonkees-inspired (can you tell 🙂 ) Z750 Twin, which I sold this summer to make room for some new projects. Was (and still is hopefully) a blast to ride! The action pics were taken by Michiel de Molenaar of shedbuiltbikes.com, thanks again Michiel!
Looking forward to share loads of nice rides, so keep ‘m coming!!
Taking a few minutes to go through baklogged e-mail and saw this beauty!
Ron’s a regular contributor so I have to post this sweet sweet build of his before I get back to making little rocks out of big rocks.
My latest following the garage built orange Zephyr 1100 you posted earlier this year. Thought I would go for a different approach this time with a back breaking hard tail. The motor is from a 96 XLH1200, one of the ugliest bikes out there, but loved by some probably, so no offence intended. This was rebuilt with new gaskets etc and brass plating, then grafted into a goose neck hard tail. The rest is as you see it, pretty minimalist but functional and she pulls lovely. I was after a bike that wouldn’t look out of place next to a 50’s Chevy pick up. This is how a 50’s hot rod bike should look in my eyes. Hope you approve :o)
(UPDATE) call for guest bloggers.
OK it looks like we’ll be in good shape. I’ve sent out 4 invitations to some very qualified enthusiasts/experts who will hopefully manage to get logged in without too much trouble. Gent’s if there’s any problems with the procedure let me know and I’ll get right on it. I’m actually a bit excited about this. New input and points of view might just be what this place needs right now. If you get a chance do and “Intorductory” post of some sort. Nothing too long just a quick hello should do it.
Thanks VERY much for all your help Gents! It’s VERY much appreciated.
Since I’m pulling back from posting (for more reasons than I can list here) I am going to start asking for contributors. I’ve already sent out 2 invitations to some well qualified regulars so I thought I’d see if anyone else is interested in authorship rights to the blog. It’s one step below admin rights so you can post away but you can’t accidentally blow anything up. This way I can still do the “housekeeping” if necessary where spam etc is concerned..
I’m familiar with who the regulars are but don’t let that stop you. If you think you can make decent contributions from time to time (it does NOT have to be every day) of interesting bikes (please follow the generally recognized rules of attribution etc) then let me know. I don’t intend to be a tyrant or anything but let’s please keep it motorcycle related and as original as possible as much as possible.
Thanks.
Steve Ducharme
Obviously I’m on a “leave of absence”.
I’ve got way too many projects, hobbies and work going on on top of the single dad thing so I’m down until further notice. Sorry everyone it’s just the way it is.
KAWASAKI Z1100 ST: MACCO Nº4

KAWASAKI Z1100 ST: MACCO Nº4
BIG Z RACER
Fate brought home again the Macco Nº1. Sandro, the previous owner had a little scare in her, so he was told at home no more bikes. Sad for Sandro but happy to get back the Big Z at the garage again.
So we decided that the time of the Big Z had already passed and thought to make a completely new bike, on the same base, in the same spirit, but with a new look and a new style. The idea of a cafe racer was always in our plans, so this baby was born: the BIG Z RACER.
Sober colors, gray matte chosen from the Ducati´s colour chart, and black, as well as many improvements as new handlebars, new floating brake discs, new seat, K&N filters, new grips Beston style black, new lights, new exhausts, new side panels and side number plates, make this Kawasaki Z1100 ST’s MACCO No. 4.
And, by now, it´s for sale!
