Long overdue, we finally do a feature in the forthcoming SB#4, on Nikki DiBlasi's KZ400 which took blogland by storm a while back. You have to have a Lot of vision to turn such a heinous duckling into one of the sexiest street trackers this side of Mars. Photos by her other-half Troy Critchlow. BP
Nikki sent through a bunch of notes she made at the Las Vegas indoor short track when she was reporting for us. We've just got to decide which bike is going in SB4. It reminded me I'd downloaded this lovely photo from Nikki and Troy's Chico Moto blog
That's Nikki from Chico Moto. Troy took the shot. Don't know if he also did the graffiti in the background. Below it are two free downloadable wallpapers by Driver Chris. Neat.
Nikki is part of our Vegas team. She, along with Troy C, covered the recent Gene Romero race for the upcoming Sideburn. Her bike and style is right up our strasse. And it seems like we're not her only fans. We found this artwork on the Driverchris blog. Neat-o. The photo is by Troy at Chicomoto.
This is a Kawasaki 400 twin. No one wants these things, and all the Jap factories had their own version (though Yamaha's XS was pretty good). Buy one for next to nothing and build something as good as this for next to nowt. That's not an order, just a suggestion. Take it or leave it. Photo: Church of Choppers
