    MotoGP, Mugello: here come the paddock girls

    Ombrelline MotoGP Mugello 2013
    As usual, the Italian MotoGP provided all the fans with loads of fun. The spectacular Mugello circuit in itself is already a guarantee for great excitement, and we saw Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo ruling MotoGP class, Britain’s Scott Redding winning the Moto2 class to further consolidate his lead in the standings and Luis Salom of Spain taking an important victory in Moto3 to re-kindle his challenge for the title.
    The audience in the stands certainly enjoyed the show, though they couldn’t celebrate any Italian rider on the podium in any the three classes - something that has not been seen at the Italian Grand Prix for 18 years. Those who had hoped to see Valentino Rossi, Andrea Dovizioso, Simone Corsi or Romano Fenati finish in the Top 3 of their respective races were left with a bitter taste in theit mouths, and for this reason the traditional presence of the sweet ‘Ombrella Girls’ in the paddock was certainly useful to make them happy again.
    As usual, here is our photo gallery picturing some of the most glamorous paddock girls spotted at the Italian Grand Prix. The captivating smiles of these lovely ladies certainly did not fail to enchant the present, but we are sure that the Spanish birds who will take their places at the next Grand Prix of Catalunya (June 14 to 16) will be more than capable to comfort any ‘disappointed’ face or rider as well, and not only them.

    Honda CB900F by CRD

    Honda CB900F
    The Honda CB900F was never the prettiest of bikes. But with a solid 95 bhp on tap, it offered a big performance jump over the CB750. It was mostly aimed at the European market, where it was known as the Bol D’Or—after the famous endurance race.

    The Spanish shop Cafe Racer Dreams has now revealed the potential of the CB900F with this exquisite custom. It’s been given a hefty upgrade in dynamics, too: as well as the Ducati SS fairing, it’s now sporting the front end from a Monster S2R and assorted Ducati brake components.

    It’s the personal ride of Pedro ‘Pery’ García, the founder of CRD, and technically the first bike out of the Madrid stable. Being the ‘shop bike,’ it’s been endlessly modified over the past three years—but perfection has now been achieved.

    The rebuilt engine is hooked up to a sinuous 4-2-1-2-4 exhaust system made by GR, with K&N filtration up front and rejetted Keihin carbs to match. The Tarozzi clip-ons seen on the first incarnation have been replaced by modified Renthal Ultra Low bars, sitting behind a simple Motogadget instrument. The tank is original, but subtly modified to match the new seat unit, which fits snugly onto a modified rear subframe. The tires are Bridgestone BT45 front and back, fitted to 18″ wheels.

    The look is clean and simple, with striking red and silver paint and a classic racer vibe. A concealed battery, now hidden in a box under the swingarm, adds to the minimalist aesthetic.

    CRD’s order book is now full, with over ten commissions in the works and recent orders from Paris and Germany. They’re not accepting any more work until at least October, but the good news is that this CB900F is for sale. Contact CRD via their website or Facebook page.
