Ya gotta love the highway bars, the ripped seat, & there was even a hunk of duct tape holding the left hand side of the windshield in place. Not to mention that fantastic trailer hitch & the turnout pipes.

Is that a Class III trailer hitch? You could combine motorcycling and fishing and tow a boat with that thing!

Jeez guys, lighten up will ya.

It's an old bike that some guy is still riding and rolling up the miles on. That's so much better than a brand new, state of the art, $50,000 chopper that doesn't (and never will) have 5,000 miles on the clock. If Duct tape is what it takes to keep it going then buy him a new roll on me. The owner enjoys the activity of riding a motorcycle and isn't hung up on owning the newest, latest, greatest machine out there and probably doesn't spent much time on the internet either. God bless the boy.

Just because you put a lot of miles on a bike doesn't give you the right to drive an ugly POS. In turn, just because it is an ugly POS, doesn't mean the rider has put a lot of miles on it....

Right on Koz!!

That bike was truly one of the most hideous I have ever seen. And it wasnt so much just about being ugly, but more about being a true rat bike. You go to bike shows & you have these clowns with "rat" bikes where they attach BS stuff to a 2 year old bike & attempt to make it look like its a rat, when the fact is the bike might only have 200 miles on it.

Is there any excuse to ride a bike with an ozone corroded & ripped seat? Tires that are dry rotted? Have a little pride in your ride.

The bike is being ridden by someone. I hope that no matter how bad my bike looks,( And trust me, it's getting there slowly but surely), That my baby is always being ridden. Better then being a trailer queen.

Hey, at least they are riding.
Maybe I'll try to find them and invite them on the next BRAG ride.

I've counted once, counted twice, and get the same answer both times -- two wheels.
I've probably got more in common with him than someone with a clean Camry.
Anyone that keeps a 30 year old bike running deserves respect, not being told that they're not spending enough money on their ride!
Sorry R1 -- not with you on this one....

Yeah it is ugly. But the guy riding that ratty bike down the hiway where nobody sees him or he doesn't care who sees him is doing the same thing I am. Having fun! Just not on a sharp a bike as mine. Hey ugly bikes are like ugly women/men {TAKE YOUR PICK} need riding too!
