Title: Bike for sale on EBAY....Bizarre Post by ToesNose on 06/24/13 at 04:04:39 I came across this from a RYCA link on FaceBook, someone put a TON of time into building it......time and money they will never get back LOL. IMHO sometimes you shouldn't climb that mountain just because you can. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o268/Rharms1/Suzlever/134_zps55c05c71.jpg EBAY listing- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-Suzuki-Glissando-Bobber-/310690896110?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item48569ed8ee#ht_500wt_1182 |

Title: Re: Bike for sale on EBAY....Bizarre Post by Dave on 06/24/13 at 09:16:30 That is absollutely obscene, a waste of time and money, and serves no purpose whatsoever. It is not art, it is not tranportation, and it not even worth buying for parts. |

Title: Re: Bike for sale on EBAY....Bizarre Post by apache snow on 06/24/13 at 13:40:28 Yeah, old riding buddy of mine had an old Harley with a foot clutch, hand shift and no front brake. He said it got real interesting stopped on a hill. You had one foot on the clutch, one foot on the rear brake and one foot on the ground. :-? |

Title: Re: Bike for sale on EBAY....Bizarre Post by srinath on 06/24/13 at 13:46:28 Epic fail - that fool should have studied the weatheing properties of cast impure aluminum and powdercoating ... You see those wrinkles on the upper handlebar clamp ... Yes, cast pot metal doesn't react that perfectly to being heated when powdercoating. Its structurally OK, but looks stupid, and will slough off in time. Cool. Srinath. |

Ok....I can laff just as much as the next guy, BUTT, when you start to cut a lil' to close to the bone, I gotta chime in. What you say in de heil are you talk'n bout? Fine, I'll just come right out and say it and let the chips fall where they may.... As one of the older riders/member of this forum (yet not nearly as ancient as oldfeller) I must say I take offense to your last line of your observation.... You see, because of those advancing years and diminished brain cell activity/recall, etc, I have found myself, on occasion, too, that indeed those skid marks have grown beyond an identifying mark at the laundromat to a point of, well ... I have set on my stool too. I'm not trying to cause a stink you unnertand, just trying to call your attention to a fact of life where you might find you're making a mess yourself, and will need help cleaning it up, well, perhaps, it all depends..... As you were. |
