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. |

I find it odd that Dave hasnt posted on this thread yet. You think maybe he knows the owner?? |

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. |

What am I supposed to say? Hey, at least they are riding. Maybe I'll try to find them and invite them on the next BRAG ride. Dave |

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! |
