| Walt Siegl in his natural habitat....the Workshop. |
Walt Siegl (http://www.waltsiegl.com/). He's guy. A guy from Austria. He's an art school grad who's put his time in working in trainyards,working as a toolmaker and welder and then joined the Austrian Foreign Service where he got a job more akin to his degree; promoting Austrian art and culture in NYC. While in NYC, Walt started building bikes....first as a hobby. But as with most things the more he built the better he got....and now he is pretty much THE name in Custom Ducati builds. He's up there with Radical Ducati out of Spain, but IMHO, Walt's style is a little more refined....a little more elegant maybe, than Radical's builds....but like I said, my opinion.
I was never really into naked bikes before, save for the classics, but the more I got involved in the world of motorcycling, the more a came to appreciate what it is that makes up a bike...essentially the engine...the heart of the machine. And the more I wanted to see it. With Walt's builds there is a certain beauty, an attention to detail perhaps that you don't find in a lot of builds. Specially Ducati's which are arguably one of the most difficult bikes to do custom builds with and really nail it. But Walt Siegl definitely does nail it....time and time again!
Keep up the amazing work Walt!
