Bike 2: The Martini Racing Tribute Bike:<br />

This bike was originally purchased as a donor bike for the<br />

Ferraley...<br />

Before we get into the bike – the 1977 Porche 911T – also<br />

built by Evan is quite historic. That car used to belong to<br />

Ace SA race photographer Steve Wicks. Great to see a<br />

classic built to its full glory.<br />

The Harley also started its life as an 883 “R” sporty – just<br />

an older, carbureted model.<br />

It’s flippen gorgeous – same-same but different. The<br />

colour scheme is quite something – the classic blue with<br />

silver detailing by Ashley Bothma works so well on this<br />

Iron. That front scoop is pinched from a Suzuki GSXR.<br />

Handmade bits like the custom pipe, air filter cover and<br />

chain guard just compliment the bike.<br />

Lots of imported Roland Sands goodies are also to be<br />

found, with custom stepped Harley rims and the same<br />

rolled rear fender as on the other bike. This one has been<br />

fitted with a custom LED tail light and indicator setup.<br />

Very cool.<br />

Fox shocks are mounted out back and, just like the sister<br />

Ferraley much attention has been paid to the front end.<br />

Race Tech internals replace the standard fare.<br />

Once again, the cockpit is sparse in a note to Evans love<br />

for dirtbikes.<br />

A beautiful Motogadget digi display is mounted in the<br />

top triple clamp – everything is subtle and minimalistic,<br />

beautifully crafted. Front indicators are to be found<br />

nestled in the rearview mirrors.<br />

It is a beauty. A rolling work of art.
