Conociendo a UMC (Untitled Motorcycles)


Hoy os traemos a Untitled Motorcycles con Hugo Eccles a la cabeza.



Con una cita programada antes de viajar a San Francisco, hablamos con Hugo para visitar
sus instalaciones y ver parte de su gran trabajo sobre estás tres motos que os traemos.

Dos sobre base Moto Guzzi y una sobre base Ducati.

A Hugo le encanta el rollo "competición" y su preparación sobre sus motos se nota y está
reflejada en ello. Materiales ligeros y de calidad, motos minimalistas y con detalles increíbles
en iluminación que nos muestra en cada una de sus motos.

Para nosotros, la Moto Guzzi "supernaturale" una 850T de 1975 nos transmite algo especial,
el trabajo sobre el aluminio, el tapizado del asiento, sus formas e innumerables detalles
la hacen una moto muy especial. Además, nos comentaba Hugo que la idea es ver como
van envejeciendo estos materiales y la Moto va tomando su forma y desgaste, haciéndola
aún si cabe más especial.

Las otras dos protagonistas, nos invitan a querer jugar por las calles y carreteras reviradas.
Tanto la Ducati Scrambler como la Guzzi V9 parecen creadas para disfrutar y ser un poco
"gamberros" y es un rollo que para el día a día nos encanta!


Queremos agradecer enormemente a Hugo por su disposición en todo momento 
y su amabilidad. 



PD: Tenemos pendiente una visita a su otra sede en Londres!



Os dejamos con las imágenes de las tres motos, esperamos que os gusten!
