Maradó, Maradó!!!

Diego Armando Maradona is always news, either because he scored two goals for the English in a World Cup, for some excess or for his statements. You can get to find his name in the sports section as much as in economics or politics, and the world of kustom was definitely not going to be the exception.
It turns out that a little over a year ago, Diego traveled to Belarus where he had contact with the Dynamo Brest football club, with whom he had an excellent relationship. Since then the president of the club had in mind to make a very special gift and taking into account that Alexander Zaitsev, one of the leaders of the club is a motorcycle fan, what better gift than a personalized Harley Davidson.
The work of modifying this Fat Boy 107 was in charge of the famous house of Kif Customizations with Yuri Shif at the head, who declared "It was a wonderful request and an extraordinary job; Diego is a very interesting character". Master Yuri, who has won important prizes and awards such as at the Motor Bike Expo Verona 2016, in Italy, or in 2015 at the Europa Biker Build Off, or at the Custombike 2014, in Germany, started from the premise of what Ten would look like if it were a motorcycle. From there I go on to study the life and work of the idol, reading how much biography there is, reviewing legendary plays, memorable games, watching movies and any interview that has been done.
As explained by the creator, I am Diego represents Diego today, with the Golden Ball at his feet and all its glamor and colorful, represented by the colors black and gold. In addition to wearing the Argentina national team shirt in the tank and proudly wearing the 10 in the headlight, this Harley is an incredible gift that Maradona is more than eager to go looking for.
Of the original motorcycle, only the chassis and the engine remained, the rest was handcrafted by Yuri and his team. And it is undeniable that the artist has successfully managed to represent the best player in the world on this motorcycle, as you may like it or not but like Diego it will not go unnoticed.
