goddamnedtwisto posted:I'm guessing you actually mean John Player Special (black with gold piping) rather than the actual Lotus livery (which is British Racing Green with a rather lurid yellow racing stripe)? Because it looks like Jack Lilley do a Daytona Limited Edition in JPS colours which is just pure loving sex: That's pretty good. Just needs the yellow stripe along the centerline. If you gave it an opaque windscreen you could curve the yellow out around the front "intake" like on the 60s Cosworth F1 cars, although with the yellow accented by green and white pinstripes like the modern livery. I might have to buy a Daytona for my next bike now.

 Sorry for the extremely lovely picture but a PSA to check your poo poo out before rides. Customer (hours away from home) brought this in after feeling a wobble that he thought felt like a crack in the highway at 80mph. In case it isn't obvious, it's missing ALL 4 pinch bolts and the axle is backed out 2". I don't think he realized how close he came to meeting his maker today.

It often kills me how poorly people keep their bikes maintained. Also, this is why reverse-threaded front axles are a good plan.

This was more the fault of an incompetent dealership/service department. Kid just bought it 2 days ago and nothing was tight. Rear axle nut loose and missing a cotter pin, he also apparently lost the slip-on during the same trip.

Those axle nuts and the keeper nuts are just something everyone should be checking. Mine were pretty loose when I got my drz. Not anything that affected handling, but who knows how long it would have taken to get to where that bike above was

I got the bike, didn't think to check things like the bolts holding the shifter stay, and as I'm driving down the highway the thing comes lose and I can no longer shift gears. A good lesson to learn, but lovely that a dealer would let someone leave with a bike that was about to come apart.

I would unironically daily drive that. Given you suddenly become some sort of a patent millionaire and have tons of disposable income, you drat well bet your rear end is gonna be daily riding a stretched swingarm chromed Damien Hurst polkadot wallpaper Hayabusa. Anything less wouldn't exemplify your gratuitousness and, ultimately, would act as the skeleton in your closet under all your other humble lifestyle choices. It's the Batman to your Bruce wayne. Modified Hayabusas are the Final Tier™ of motorcycle.

I suppose that's the value of marketing, millions of people overlooked the fact they tasted like grass clippings sucked through a hose because of just how classy the colour scheme was (and of course because it was attached to Barry Sheene and Ayrton Senna). I've actually just got into them off Marlboro Bright Leaf because they have more of a kick on the way in. That's probably the wood chippings, though.
