This is an article originally written between 2013 and 2015, re-published in 2024 on the occasion of the website redesign.

I did several experiments and came up with really ignorant motorcycles.

I have a few photos left so… here they are.

Before you kill me in your head, know that Africa Twins have not always been as famous as they are now, and that they could be bought for almost nothing until a few years ago.

I really enjoyed creating these monsters, but they were functional.

This is Dodo, a famous character in a 90s TV show for kids.

This was an 03 that I bought to experiment with.

Here I shortened the frame and removed the fairing to reduce weight. I fitted it a solo saddle. It was going really great.

How raw, short and compact it is, but also how fast it was!

Subsequently I fitted her with a GS1200 screen and she became perhaps even more ignorant.

Pure ignorance.

With the Gs1200 fairing. Very rough.

The next step was an experiment that I had had in mind for some time.

This was an experiment I did for a friend to race.

It was an interesting experience.

It was going really fast.

Here is the under-seat tank handmade by me.

Otto Von Braun right before being destroyed. I saw her in two for something that bothered me a little.

After this I gave my friend Michele a very ignorant motorbyke.

Reversible modification. However, he wanted the original headlights and didn’t want to mount the enduro side panels in front, so the result was as crude as it could be.

I called it “The Creature”, it was incredibly crude, but functional.

La Creatura with its happy owner Michele. He made the Erzberg.

La creatura, stripped but super sturdy.

One experiment I did was initially this bad thing, but from which I gained experience.

In a competition of ignorance Eleonora cannot be missed. I’ll just put a photo of it but she will have an article.

I also made a couple of fat ones with the Boano tanks that I took home with the thousand exchanges I made.

But they didn’t finish them and I never finished them.

Rd 04 with 41 liter front tank and Marathon big butt. I did not like it.

The first 30 liters it digested very well, but when you filled the entire tank you couldn’t drive anymore. Center of gravity too high.

Here they are, my little girls worthy of Doctor Frankenstein.

It was fun.
