1990 XT600 Teneree by Fugar Metal Worker

"Fuck the purists and the nostalgic lovers of the old and obsolete big enduro bikes... Huge elephants with tanks that need a capital to be filled, equipped with ugly plastic fairings and shock absorbers that make you seasick... I cut, welded and forged an old Yamaha Teneree, making it an unconventional bike which cannot and doesn’t want to be categorized in any cliché... It's not a scrambler: too low. It's not a dirt-track: the handlebar is too bent. It’s not a street-tracker, because of the knobbly wheels. It’s a male machine. Evil mechanics and a doubtful exercise in style. Are you brave enough to ride it? 55cv and 105 kg, all-aluminum, kick start. Its name is Spacca Ossa (Bone Breaker). The electrical system is ridiculous. The engine is pissed off. The work on the details? Titanic. If you don’t like... I still have all the fairings: pale blue and loose bowels yellow".  Lorenzo
