"BROOKLYN INVITATIONAL 2011" [BY 'TURBOSTEVE84' ON POOTUBE] . . . . I JUST FINISHED WATCHING '6OVER' AGAIN . . . . THE MENTION OF WALT SIEGL'S NAME SENT ME IN SEARCH OF ONE OF HIS BUILDS IN PARTICULAR . . . . THE 900SS DUKE BASED BEAUTY I'VE ONLY SEEN IN MAGS AND BLOGS . . . . I GOT LUCKY IN THE BIG APPLE.

'Turbosteve84', whoever you are buddy, has put together a mostly really sweet vid showcasing last year's uber show in Brooklyn, some bitchin shots of the bikes, some of the builders, Tom Fugle with some vaguely familiar bloke sitting beside him, and, key to this post, Siegl's magnificent Ducati 900 SS based custom/cafe coolout sickle . . . . it's not running I know, but it gives you such an enhanced appreciation of just how much of a standout job of fabrication, building and construction skills it is, like really fucking extraordinary, even though his back catalogue of bike production is so bloody diverse, the Bologna Bomber is a genuinely unique bit of kit.

So, keep your eyes on the road for the familiar faces, check out a pretty decent coverage of the rides both in the show and the street and although you mightn't necessarily be into the specfic style of scoot, you'll be pretty gobsmacked at just how meticulously Walt Siegl put this particular one off Italian Stallion together . . . . magnifico !!!!
