HI Mum! I’m in the tv…sorta.
Not tv… Youtube.
Getting used to it
With the extra cold weather in Lisbon, and the low time availability to deeply try Daisy 2.0 out, it assume this is kind of slow. I have already run it to the limit. it is fast… the Ton-up is now a breeze, as the body position is much more aerodinamic. But this has some costs… […]
Daisy V2.0 is here
Just did it without thinking much of it… That riding position will take some time to get used to. But it is a dream come true, the completion of the project. Now, adaptation phase for me, to the clipons and the rearsets… She really looks lovely these pictures do not make it justice… but it […]
Give a arm to twist
Yup… after those two days, I got to the limit of my knowledge. Carb tuning, rearset adjusting, that is it. No more. Handed it out to Tiago from Unik Edition to give the final overhaul and overall maintenance. :) will be ready in a week!

It was time to raise the motorcycle using my new elevator. But even this wasn’t simple. The lowest part […]

Daisy enters the (digital) Room
As I was saying, Pedro Oliveira took from Ton Up Garage took to him to find me a British W650. Having some contacts in that country, where W650 were more abundant, he got back to me two days later of a Ebay deal gone wrong. 24/02/2012… “We have the bike for you.” It is a […]
Where it all started
I never liked motorcycles. Not 100% correct, as I do remember liking a yellow yamaha 900 Diversion, specially the naked version. But that was it. never gave any motorcycle a second look. I also never had (close) contact with motorcycles, except that time a friend of mine took me to a 1 km ride on […]
