SUPERSTRADA II
When we built the original SuperStrada for our friend Ricky Lu a few years back, we had no idea the splash it would make. Ok we kinda felt in our bones it was special. After turning down quite a few requests for exact replicas, we agreed to build a close approximation for Floridian Mark Fowler. It wasn’t exactly smooth sailing with motor demons that resisted exorcism and gremlins galore. But we love the overall result. It sports a mean stance, SuperStrada lines and a big bore motor that will get your attention. We’ll be jealous when it’s 10 degrees here and Mark is blasting along in the 80 degree breeze.
