Default 6 month Ducati 748 build condensed to 2 minutes

As some of you might remember, I picked up a Ducati 748 back in November that had shelled the motor.

I've spent the last 6 months tearing it down, literally to nothing, fixing the motor, having the frame, wheels, and swingarm powdercoated, and then putting it all back together again. I literally disassembled every single component, down to the nuts and bolts. All new bearings, everything is greased, torqued, etc. It is now in 100% tip-top shape.

And yes, before anybody asks, it is only going to be a trackbike.

Hope y'all enjoy. It's been a labor of love for sure. LOL

Real cool.

As a side note, you still sound like the guy on dukes of hazard that pauses the show mid jump and tells about how the duke boys are in a bit of a trouble

VERY nice dude. Great job. I found :51 to be very sensual.

You'll get to see her live too, considering that H2R will be her home track.
