Title: Re: The Savage I never saw comin'... Post by jcstokes on 02/11/18 at 21:54:11 Well ,you guys are so fond of Bobbing, Chopping, Tracking, Modding, Supercharging, Stroking, and god knows what else. What do you expect? I would be a trifle concerned about the riders thighs, if he hit a bump at speed. |

[/quote] Yeah, another look at the top pic shows the throttle cable going to some kinda gizmo, I sure don't like cables just hanging out and flopping around. I don't know where the gas goes, either.. That seat is the weirdest thing I've seen for a supposed place to sit. I wonder if the engine is stock.. |

Yes, some of us do enjoy tasteful creativity which is, of course, subjective, but this takes the cake for leaving the "tasteful" part out IMO. |

Title: Re: The Savage I never saw comin'... Post by SALB on 02/12/18 at 15:17:40 I like the idea of a spin on oil filter, but that one looks like it could drag in a corner and cause catastrophic engine failure. :o |

Title: Re: The Savage I never saw comin'... Post by Matchless G11 on 02/12/18 at 16:58:16 I guess first post. It is cool but is awful at the same time. Like the Vincent chopper I saw. Wonderful machining, great details But .... did they have to do it to a Vincent :( |

Title: Re: The Savage I never saw comin'... Post by batman on 02/12/18 at 19:30:21 The Cops have got to love that license plate placement ,if we can't read it from the side , they sure can't read it from the rear! |

Title: Re: The Savage I never saw comin'... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 02/13/18 at 00:08:22 If he got something right it would have thrown off the whole fang shooey thing. I know that is misspelled.. |

Title: Re: The Savage I never saw comin'... Post by ArkansasBrian on 02/13/18 at 04:53:18 I had the same thought about the plate. Turns out the it is retractable. There's a motor that can (slowly and loudly, there's video if you follow the link) make it stick out the side or retract back in to the position in the photos . I just hope he had fun building it. I'd wager he did! |

Title: Re: The Savage I never saw comin'... Post by ohiomoto on 02/13/18 at 05:47:25 Funny thing is, if the builder had not painted it up like a daycare center and put any sort of real seat on it, I bet the comments would be a lot different. I bet we would be spending more time looking for all the cool little ideas they incorporated. |

Personally, I like his rear suspension/swingarm modification. I think I've seen something similar by one of the builders on this forum. |

Title: Re: The Savage I never saw comin'... Post by ohiomoto on 02/13/18 at 06:22:26 Right on Gary! (And it still looks ridiculous! ha ha) But that other build looked great. Can't seem to find it though. |

Title: Re: The Savage I never saw comin'... Post by HAPPYDAN on 02/13/18 at 08:28:29 Hmmmm . . . . . Looks strange, costs a lot of money, serves no useful purpose . . . . Oh yeah! It's ART! |

Title: Re: The Savage I never saw comin'... Post by Matchless G11 on 02/14/18 at 17:14:28 It look like the same guy also owned a Puch 250. http://searsallstateriders.com/model/810.895721.html That would explain some of the weirdness, Just look at a twingle motor. I have several, they are great bikes. |
