If Al Pacino had ridden a motorcycle in the famous 1983 movie, it would surely have been this one, the Triumph Bonneville “Scarface” customized by Lord Drake Kustoms.
When we asked LDK’s creator and owner, Fran Manen, the reason for that name, he replied: “What comes to mind if we mix: 80’s, Money and Power, Drugs and the City of Miami…. Scarface!
The look of a Cafe Racer or a back with a racing look of the 70-80, details in antique gold reminiscent of power and money.
The look of a Cafe Racer or a back with a racing look of the 70-80s, details in antique gold reminiscent of power and money, customized in Miami and the color “snow white” does not need more words to make sense … Scarface! Elegant and fast, arrogant and luxurious. This time a 2012 Triumph Bonneville T100 was the base chosen by Fran to make this Cafe Racer.
The entire rear end was handcrafted from a sheet of metal, using the lenses of Harley-Davidson touring model turn signals to manufacture the taillights. The rear turn signals were integrated into the tubes of the chassis that was cut and modified. The seat, chain cover, exhaust pipes and handlebars were also manufactured at Lord Drake Kustoms’ facility.
His first exit from the workshop was to get on a truck and go to the edition of the prestigious Rat’s Hole bike show held in Leesburg.
His first exit from the workshop was to get on a truck and go to the edition of the prestigious Rat’s Hole bike show held in Leesburg during the Bikefest last April 27, and it couldn’t have gone better; second place in the Cafe Racer category. And it didn’t come first because it had a great competitor who took the first place… his older sister “Red Baron”! (which we will talk about in a future post).
A tribute to the great movie, to a great actor like Al Pacino and to the city where Fran has now begun his ascending career.
Currently, this Cafe Racer is owned by Tom Kaulitz, composer, guitarist, pianist and producer of the band Tokio Hotel.
