The RSD Desmo Tracker is finally finished, tested and thrashed just enough to ensure she’s ready to do battle on the streets of San Diego. The Desmo Tracker was a difficult build in many ways. As you can imagine digging your hands into the Mona Lisa is not done without a measure of respect and reserve. But this is how we approach most of our builds as we attempt to retain what is best of the original design and to explore ways to improve or change the function of the machine in a way the new owner would like to enjoy his machine. The words Moto GP and Dirttrack couldn’t be further from the other in terms of function and aesthetic on two wheels. Our job was too blend the two into something that could be at home on the show room floor ready for public consumption with a push button starter, comfortable egro’s, street and dirt worthy suspension, lights and 180 plus horsepower on tap. We feel we have obtained that goal.


Our neighbors at Tank Farm are having a sidewalk sale this weekend. If you’re in the los alamitos area, come and check it out. They have some great stuff.

 

We gave the guys at Mooneye’s one of our new leather jackets(available soon) and custom Bell 500 Grand National for the Japanese Red Cross. They raised over 60K at their hot rod show in Odaiba, Japan.  Great work Mooneye’s!

 

Here’s a behind the scenes take from our 2011 photoshoot shot and edited by our friend Jamie Robinson at MotoGeo.

 

“Our friend Kevin Murray from Motorcycle Super Store got wadded up pretty bad in Spain. I did this get well Bell helmet for him. I don’t know if it will ease his pain or not, but perhaps it will keep him motivated to get his face in the wind again.”
