Ok Theoretical Question

Honda DN-01, Yamaha Viagra, Gold Wing

rusty old cb500

gift horse, mouth. need I say more?

Hey Bang - that rings a bell… met a guy at a service station riding one of these…

No it’s NOT an Indian ( that would at least show some style ) it was a Kawasaki Drifter made to LOOK like an Indian ( ie total phony!)

Guy was wearing what I thought was a tiny salad bowl on his head turned out to be one of those Californian skull cap lids (very useful)

I said Hi as you do to a fellow biker - he grunted and pushed by me rude sod!

So there you go - a 100% ****** ALL they way round then :smiley:

Having said that, I absolutely despise those stretched American bikes where they take a Hyabusa or ZZR1400, extend the swing arm, fit a balloon to the rear wheel and remove one of the front discs for “style.” I find that just idiotic. Redneck engineering a performance bike into something pathetic.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha,

I have demonstrated my total lack of taste or shame and will happily ride anything … even a blue and white gixxer .

+1

I think they are only good for posing ‘in the Hood’ and for the odd drag outside of StarF%cks on a Saturday night to impress the ‘Hoes’…:sick:

Yanks seem to love vehicles that can go in a straight line very quickly but fall over in corners…

LOL :laugh:

how’s nosofa coming up? when are you going take it for a spin :smiley:

I just looked

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

One of these “hot” rods


Also, I suppose you wouldn’t find any of these in the garage?

It’s a win-win

Anything too ropey and you could enjoy riding it top the top of a mountain and pushing it off.

MZ 500 R

Mate - that bike is ‘Captain America’ from the film ‘Easy Rider’ - probably the most iconic motorbike in cinema history, and a 1960’s counter cultural icon!

I’m not into custom chopped bikes but If I found that in my garage I would be shocked, amazed and very happy :slight_smile:

Its hard to think of anything more homoerotic than ‘riding a hot rod’ :wink:

Yeah - telling people that you like riding choppers is gonna get mixed reactions . . . :smiley:

You guys and gals have focused my mind on this a bit…

I would have said a Kawasaki Drifter or any Jap Harley Copy ( Harleys are bad enough but a Copy of a **** bike is tooo much)

But I can define it better now,

cough

“Any motorcycle that has been built OR modified in such a way that it’s handling or speed has suffered and it looks ridiculous”

There that covers bobbers and choppers and cruisers and dragsters (Busas with steamroler rear tyres and rear hangers as long as a bowling alley) and nearly all cruisers ( except for the Moto Guzzi Californian (original T3 from the 70’s and the latest version which looks cool ) AND the Trumpet Rocket 3 which somehow seems to transcend cruiser naffness)

:slight_smile:

I don’t care! I’d sell it at the local flee market and buy myself a motorcycle :smiley:

I like the old MZ , we used to " borrow " my friends dads ETZ in the middle of the night and go cruising for into Govanhill to buy weed :slight_smile:
