The next Smokin’ Motorcycles project is ready to shine and ride. The ‘’Smokin’ Motorcycles #001 4Nol” is a Ducati café racer drawn and engineered by Maarten Timmer. Its name honours one of his grandfathers, Arnold, better known as Nol. So this ride actually is for Nol: 4Nol. Nol was the car mechanic who taught him how to wrench and stoked his passion for cars and bikes.
The more this project evolved, the more Rob van der Heijden got engaged. Together the guys finished this build – which was interrupted to make time for the build of the award winning Elegant Bastard for BMW Motorrad the Netherlands – and the end result is a truly unique ride.
