Watching this wonderful video got me thinking- Why do I enjoy cherishing such a genre of documents? Well after a moment of deep breathing and thinking, I came up with some reasons – My family is somewhat from an artistic background. My grand father (father’s side) was a musician & producer, my other grand father was a photographer with his little studio back in the 60′s,  my father is an architect engineer and my mother used to be a painter. I don’t know but I guess I was exposed to many of artistic environment at a young age without even knowing it.. which then lead me into a deep interests in classical music, impressionist artists, architects and photography. When I was a teenager, I never thought I would be someone who listens to 200 years old music and stares at an old building with an admirable eyes … well surely I was wrong .

Couple years ago when I came across this gorgeous black & gold Ducati, my Ducati fever emerged to surface. I could not stop drooling like a small fat kid at a candy shop. The Ducati fever exceeded my initial Honda S2000 fever. For many days I could not go to bed without thinking about the raw, naked and single sided swing arm Ducati Monster… My S2R 1000 does not look anything like this right now but … one day , I hope to follow similar modifications
