Does anyone know who built this bike?
« on: October 16, 2015, 05:07:36 PM »
Hi all,
wondering  if anyone can give me any information on this build. Also, if anyone recognizes what fuel tank that is, please let me know! Thanks,
-Nick

The Firestone tires and cheap Emgo shocks are particularly bad choices.

If you look at their builds page, it appears that all of their builds either get those crappy Firestone tires or a set of knobbies.

Knobbies have their place -- on dirt.  Firestones could have their place in a museum or on a car.  They are absolute crap for motorcycles.

The hipsters sure do love them.

Well if you don't reopen the can...eventually the worms will die.  And that's pretty cruel to the worms! At least on the end of the hook, they have the sporting option of whipping that fish and swimming off if they want to!  ;D

And I agree with you that the tank and seat combos look nice.

That wasn't just a "FAIL", that was an EPIC FAIL that gave me shivers down to the hair on my toes.

And the only can (well bottle) of worms I'd be interested in opening is the one with Jose on the label.  :)

But I agree the Tank and Seat combo is pretty nice.

Eff with the bull you get the horns..

 I was thinking, how much it would sting as they tried to clean out the wound ....before they sew it up......better heal right, or it will look like you have a pussy on your leg.....
