In 1973, Paolo Tesio graduated with a degree in the field of Automotive, Transportation and Industrial design from a university in Turin, Italy. Over the years, he’s turned his passion for the world of motorcycling into a number of projects based on the Ducati Monster. His latest concept, affectionately dubbed “Monster of Ice,” is based on the same Ducati Monster that he knows and loves except he’s decked it out for performance in the wintery conditions that you’d probably never think about riding a 160hp motorcycle through. The most notable features are the larger rear wheel and the snow tires, but the one thing this snow ready beast doesn’t come with is the testicular fortitude to actually ride it in the snow and slush.
