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.

Somehow, you just know that the owner of this is taking drugs......Lots of them.......All different kinds........Probably all at once

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 love to sneakily glue something onto it where it wouldn't be instantly noticed....like a bright pink my little pony or a tellytubby :lol

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
