The cool bike thread......

[Dudeofrude]

Here we go... how about our very own Fazer..... but Cool

exhaust wrap's a bit untidy don't you think ?

It strikes me that to make a bike 'cool' you take a perfectly good machine and make it less comfortable, practical and often more ugly. Whoever decides these things won't be anyone who's opinion I care about (yes I know people don't care about my opinion either). I'm quite happy to be uncool 


Cheers

Not at all John that's the idea of this thread... everyone's opinion is on what's cool is different and it's good to see.
Stick up a pic of your vision of a cool bike... let's see what floats your boat :lol

I,m with you mate along with the ability to NOT go around corners - definitely NOT a cool trate in a bike. Most to me look like bastard Frankenstein of a machine built in a shed.

I think first of all, bikes are in general are cool.  Biking is cool.  Though there are, in my opinion uncool ways of going about it, but in general it’s cool.


But this is about being extra cool, ice cool.  Prioritising cool over everything else.


It should also be about being universally cool.  Cool bikes are not just for bikers. 



Comfortable and practicable, or even going fast are secondary considerations on the ice cool bike.


Though at the same time you have a point.  It should be possible to have an ice cool ride that’s every day usable.

How about this John,
It’s electric, so it won’t pollute the environment, it looks comfortable and practicable.  Could be ideal for you sir.  And , umm, cool.

[VNA]

And here's an example of how cool you could look on it.

And here's an example of how much of a fake hipster twat you could look on it.

Fixed that for ya :rollin

Errr yes it will.


It will still emit noise pollution, heat pollution, light pollution, brake dust (unless it has magic brakes?), consume tyres, wheel bearings etc. And the electricity it consumes will pollute the environment too.

I sometimes forget that any attempt at humour on the interweb, must, at all times, be supported by the use of emogis.

Meanwhile in the land of cool.

Whoever came up with that model name was obviously a big Last Of The Summer Wine fan :lol .


I can just picture the late Bill Owen careering down one of the Dales on that :rollin

[Dudeofrude]

Bludy thing looks like you've crashed a push bike in to a backup generator ??

[robbo]

Not maybe cool, but certainly innovative. Check out the reversed head, just like Box Hill's topboy had in the 60's.

[robbo]

However, this qualifies as cool.

very cool 8)
