Title: bobber building from Greece
Post by maikrs on 07/02/14 at 12:59:53

Hi i'm Maik from Greece and I'm a new member to the forum.
last January I bought a savage 650 1994 mod and I start to build a bobber with low cost and a lot of personal work. ;)

Some photos from the first day after the buy.

I know this is about bikes but one of my favorite things about backpacking Europe was seeing patios and buildings(architecture as a whole) where so much love is put into their construction. It isn't often throughout the rest of the world you find entire sections of cities with amazing tile work for an outdoor patio. Greece apparently is also doing well in this respect.

I was admiring the tile work too, and thinking what a nice place it is to work in.

So Maikrs, what specifically do you have planned to do with your bike now that you have it all stripped down and naked ?
