What they are saying about Rich Lambrechts:
"Deja Blue", built by Rich Lambrechts is a masterpiece which perfectly captures not just the look but the heart and soul of Old Blue." ......." It's really smooth and it's got a lot of power" ....."The idea that Rich built this thing with nothing more to work from than what he knew from us and what he read is incredible"
- Cook Neilson
"I am so taken by Rich's stories of his grandfather and great grandfather and Packard motorcars. Those stories persuade me that Rich’s mechanical intelligence and creativity have been bred in the blood of his being. He’s a natural: an artisan and an artist–and an engineer and a lover of internal combustion. His is an unbeatable biography, the kind of history you want connected with your restoration project. His expertise goes far beyond the mastery of part-numbers and the accuracy and knowledge to do compelling work. How far beyond? Rich’s soul and being invest every project he does."
- Phil Schilling

"Exact it is. From the correct Venolia pistons, to the Morris wheels to the St. Christopher's medal on the fairing and the fairing decals themselves, the bike is perfect"
- Richard Backus, on Deja Blue

"Immense bike building knowledge"
- John L. Stein

The decision to restore my 1974 Ducati 750 Super Sport was actually a group effort led by Ducatista friends. Consensus was clear “IF you are going to do it, Rich is your man”.
They were right.
From the first sight and ride on the finished bike, to rides now, I still can not believe how well Rich restored what I believe to be the authenticity of the full riding and owning experience of this incredible bike. Laps at Laguna Seca left no question of Rich’s ability to honor the bike’s performance heritage.
Rich’s work on the bike has been recognized by various show judges, including Cook Nielson and Phil Shilling, where it has won its share of best in shows. Yet another validation that the group was right, Rich is the man!
So my thanks and respect to you Rich for:
*sweating blood on the details
*you technical skills at the ‘Dr. Ing.’ level backed by your historical knowledge of design and manufacturing to get it right
*your determination and patience to restore the correct and full function of its original design and heritage
*your passion for Italian bikes that inspires your work and the rest of us
*each unforgettable ride

"Our museum has recently become interested in Ducati motorcycles and have discussed this with Rich. We have been impressed with his depth
of knowledge and passion for all things Ducati. As a small privately funded museum, we must choose our acquisitions carefully and value
Rich's advice and guidance. We feel fortunate to be able to discuss our needs with him. He is always accessible and eager to help."
