Guys, that bike make me just add another tally to the list of "stupid $hit that I have seen people do to their bikes" list...
However, I think incidents like this should give everyone on this forum some perspective - from reading the posts in this thread, it seems like everyone is in agreement that this bike is hideously ugly. However, I have also seen numerous posts on this forum where people have done equally stupid things to their bikes - add windscreens that are the size of a picture window, attach lights that make the bike look like dumbo, install exhaust systems that look retarded, etc...
Guess what, simply because someone took the initiative to mod his bike doesn't mean we should applaud that individual for doing so - this isn't ffing preschool, and you shouldn't get a gold star for putting in a good effort yet doing something woefully inadequate.
When our fellow forum members ASK for our opinion, and in turn they show us pictures of their bikes that can be likened to an abortion, we should say good effort, $hitty result, try again...
My ire comes from a post by someone (who I cannot specifically remember his username) said something like "people in this forum like to flame others for modding their bikes." Well sir, I disagree, as I'd like to see more people flaming idiots for doing stupid things to their bikes.
We cannot be so open minded that out brains fall out. Yes, this is a free country and you can do anything you want to your bike. The real question is, should you....
Flame on...
