like you say, each to their own. but what annoys me is an mot failure for a bit of rusty wing "because it's hazardous to the public" and a mobile hazard like that is allowed on the road...      still a heap of shite though.

Saw something similar in the early 90's at Daytona Bike Week, even had a telephone directory hanging from the saddle on its steel cable. It was owned by a character called Junky Jim. Although it's shite, it's no doubt taken a lot of care and effort to get it that shite.

Insurance application form... "please list any extras or modifications from standard"  :eek :eek :eek

Surely unless you detail all that your insurance is void. No?

Looks like Dazza's mt10 on a full moon......I doubt Red98's slow "silver bullet" will beat it though...

CB500?

It's got a drum rear brake though.

It looks like a Borg Cube had a shit.

My guess would be that there is a Kawasaki ER5 lurking under there somewhere.

I'd have expected that lobster on the rear drum to have been on the front brake where the pots are.



I'll get me coat :rolleyes...........

Yep, ER5.  Did something similar to mine (minus all the plastic toys n shit).  Only thing I ever got pulled up for on an MOT was rear pegs with no rear seat, in the words of the tester "it's a lot better than it looks".  Can't see it being long before matt black and knobblies find their way on to the fazer  :evil
