Its impressive only because the maker had a theme in mind and the budget to back it up,but I think its the idea behind the bling thats meant to count.
Just lobbing on as much of the DP catalogue as you can afford isnt the point,though i'm sure it'll help. I've seen some of the past bikes where most of the excess has been dumped leaving very stripped down looking bikes,these look really good and the main resource behind them has been someones time rather than money.
I'd consider entering myself but dont think what I've got in mind for my bike would be ready in time,maybe next year though

Well done, you've certainly put a fair bit of time and effort into getting it done - and from what I hear and the photo's I've seen it's a top job.

Simons bike wasnt meant to cost what it did but he followed it through as the first designs show. Fact is it got better as it went along and expensive as things were adapted like exhausts. Not cheap to employ someone to cut and weld your cans. It is truly beautiful and I followed its path with much interest and was privalaged to see its first outing when he came out to our meet. The bike brought much attention. It is still very simple and much of the look is the colour scheme.The aggressiveness of the alien front end should be noted by DUCATI for the future. It is worthy of taking the prize just for the effort put in.
