Hey fellow DTTer's,
Just wanted to share the good news...
On Sunday we pitted our most recently completed CB450 Cafe against a handful of other bikes that fell into the ride in "vintage sport bike" category at the 2010 Full Throttle Magazine Biker Build-off. Amongst the competition was a gorgeously crafted Ducati Desmo which we thought would give us some serious trouble.
Despite the Ducks attempts to assault us with its classic Italian styling, the iconic name badge and of course- the rumble of that fine piece of engineering......it couldn't outrun a Dime City Original in the end.
Here's Herm on the way to the show shot in motion by Paul Harrington. Motorcycle photographer extraordinaire and close personal friend of The DCC Crew.
Here she sits awaiting the judging. Initially we thought we were going to be denied entry as a result of missing entry by 10 minutes. As it turns out it worked out to our benefit as we were able to park right up front for everyone to see and with a little persuasion by Herm, the judges allowed the entry and never asked us to move the bike..
The man. The legend. Herm... Accepting the best in class trophy with that infamous grin.
The bike received many compliments from a wide range of on-lookers. The most common though being the refinement and blending of both classic vintage cafe racer aesthetic and modern sport bike engineering.
It was a good day gentlemen. A good day.
