Yamaha XT 600 Teneree "Spacca Ossa" ( transl. Bone shaker)
by Lorenzo Fugaroli a.k.a. Fugar Metal Worker - Ancona, Italy

When I first published the early photos
of this bike, the feedback of my readers was good but probably less of
what I expected. Having admired this bike live, heard her voice
screaming and felt my bones shaken, I decided to publish some more shots
professionally taken by our friend Ruben... Enjoy the photoshoot and read -just in case you missed- the Lorenzo's intro to his iron horse.
"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 Shaker).
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
Original and passionate.
