Did the bike actually fall in the drink? I liked the fact that the rider had the presence of mind to let go of the handlebars and pretty much just slide off into that yacht? Well done! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Well that would be handy Frank, once he regained conciousness, he could just hop on his Yam and ride home? ;D

Started a new thread in performance about possibly making manifolds so we can maybe make something positive come out of this thread?

That's the problem with political correctness, you're not allowed to tell the truth if it's going to upset the masses.

You look at some of the build threads and the OP's will say "What do you think of my bike?" and you wanna say, "It's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, I want to tear out my eyeballs so I'll never accidentally look at it again", but you know that the OP and his pals will be up in arms at you dissing his ride, so instead, you don't say anything, or worse, you make a non-specific compliment like "I love those skull valve caps" and the PO takes that as positive reinforcement that he made the right decision to leave out his fork springs so he could slam his bike down in the weeds.

The fact that if he rides it for more than a mile at speeds in excess of walking pace will probably cause his bike to explosively self-destruct should have nothing to do with it, it's his God given right to turn a perfectly good original bike into something that looks like it's been dragged out of a drain backwards, and if he does fulfill his Darwinian destiny and removes himself from the gene pool, we're all supposed to feel sorry for him and say the nicest things about him, while making non-specific compliments about his bike. ("Geez his alligator arse skin seat cover survived the fire, good job!")

And of course, if anyone is disrespectful enough to diss someone's build on their first thread, they're just being negative. Fair enough too, bloody noobs! ;D

Technically it was my 2nd post. First was in introductions.  :P

I refrained from commenting/referencing anyone's build threads as I didn't want to single anyone out and I'm not mean enough to tell someone their skill level is scary(hopefully they get better before they hurt themselves). That didn't really go according to plan as several in this community took it as a personal attack on their "home". For that I apologize.

There are several decent to outstanding builds here and of course lots of information. I was just shocked at the amount of crap I had to also weed through.

Yeah, the thing to understand Patrick is that the bikes we like are relatively cheap, so very attractive to (generally) younger guys who want to build the bike of their dreams, but are on a limited budget.

There are some superb bikes here, but they're generally built by older guys for much different reasons, who can afford to do it right.

I cringe at some of the "builds" here, but am also blown away by the superb quality of others. It's all about balance, I suppose. Cheers, Terry. ;D

Well, as one of those who automatically assumed you were trolling (let's face it, it's the Internet) I apologize.

However, perhaps lending your expertise to those scary builds rather then tearing them immediately down would be more appreciated.

Here you go.  Only problem is I'm pretty sure they only fit Harleys.
