Those are ARD magnetos right? I think only one of them is running struts though. Oh internet, why you so funny?

Tell me, Tim Gunn, how would you change the cut of his jib so that he met with your approval and didn't land in one of 4-5 biker pigeonholes? Keep in mind that anyone who manages to avoid these is still subject to the catch-all "tool" and "hipster" tags. FFS, at least he's not wearing bootlegged SOA merchandise...

So I think is fairly close to the look my buddy is going for with his XS650? I never really know because I can't get a straight answer out of him on anything.   I personally LOVE the gold/white lines on the (DT360) tank that accent it's shape.  The exhaust he got is actually nothing like this unfortunately,  it's actually one from "Pandemonium" and 'm pretty sure he's going to set his leg ablaze.  I know that his inspiration is actually this bike: http://vimeo.com/groups/79005/videos/19232594 GnarlyCharlie4u fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Mar 3, 2012 |

I don't know who he is and though he does look interesting, like the bikes, I'm not really bothered to dig up details. I'll just sit here and gaze at my Aprilia in my Dainese gear with my AGV Rossi replica helmet while enjoying an expensive coffee at my favourite espresso bar THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Sweet, my motorcycle-fu is gaining power. (The big shiny fuel-tank-like-object under the seat, coupled with the mysteriously empty space where the tank normally is, helped)

Went to a charity Dyno Day today, nice day out 20 quid for a dyno run, but no A/F mapping or torque measurements so it was really just a HP dick waving contest, a contest me and my DRZ lost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJoX_ILhqzM My dyno run, 36.99 furious horses http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HLIRaerdow the fireblade with the martini colours in the pics below, 117 horses and a flame show on the overrun. Before setting off in the morning.   My DRZ, wearing a shiny new back tyre that broke my loving balls to get on yesterday.  There was a streetfighter/custom show on too, some nice bikes, including a CBR250R caferacer that surprisingly wasn't horrible. Clear clutch windows are nice and all but not in cold damp places where condensation and oil turn to mayonaisse  Then there's the classic, "someone rearended my clown cycle" look   Where we're going, we wont need ground clearance  GHOST BOOSA   rest of pics in gallery here http://imgur.com/a/xg0CY

One of the old bikey guys I chat to had a Vincent Black Shadow. They're beautiful. It got stolen  Only got to drool over it once, before I was really into bikes and could truly appreciate it.

I even rode around a few times with nothing on the front end and no cops took a second look. I think they have their work cut out for them with all the squids, if you act semi-normal they don't care.
