Futuristic California wow
« on: December 28, 2016, 09:02:06 PM »
Found this on CNN Menswear and motorcycles: Meet the most stylish bikers in the world
Mostly boring photos until I came across the Cali.


"Over the past few years, the surge of interest in custom bikes has been fueled by a backlash against modern technology," notes online motorcycle magazine Bike EXIF. "But this new build from Officine RossoPuro based on a Moto Guzzi California is unapologetically futuristic ... It's positively space age in its use of materials too: the brake calipers are made from Incoloy 800, an incredibly tough nickel-chromium alloy used in nuclear reactors."

That is quite a mod !!  :shocked:   Brake  calipers mounted on the different front fork & swingarm? Buel type brake rotors. Valve covers & gas tank covered.
