Saw this one on the way home
« on: 14 September 2018, 08:45:50 pm »
Thoughts?


Looks a little amateur to me, I also prefer the standard look, but if a young lad keeps an old bike on the road by doing this why the hell not.

Agree with both your points. Guess it's not stealthy either.

As long as it's actually "roadworthy" - i.e. It stops and handles safely and isn't a danger to the rider and other road users - I agree with both of you.

Who is that mysterious figure in black with the pointy shoes seen upper left. Could he be connected with the equally mysterious looking fazer (intentionally spelt with a lower case "f" as it is not worthy of the correct F )  IMO
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Totally agree with the lower case 'f' comment, the owner should be applauded for keeping an old bike on the road, then have his balls cut off for doing such a shit job.
Only saying!

fair play to him for doing what he wants. I'm sure he learned a lot of new skills doing it

You are too kind, but, most probably right Dude, and as you say, he most likely learned new skills  :D
Now cut his balls off.

Haha, the mystery of the figure in black is easily solved, that's my brother. He rides a 2007 Bandit, standard if not for an aftermarket exhaust which he uses to belittle me in every tunnel we ride through.

Belittle you - until you come out of the tunnel into the daylight and everyone can see its a Bandit.

Would not of thought so it's not often the word Special and bandit (Notice the lower case b) are associated together, unless the word Special has the word Needs after it.  :lol :lol :lol
