Little or not front tire clearance, little or not rear tire clearance, and THOSE tires.  Did JWilde get a new bike and learn how to do a burnout?

Yes, you do. The front axle is a good bit away from the tripple.  Twist there and the bike front loses command from the bars.

The builder is an idiot, making a race "looking" bike that would injure or kill anyone that would actually try to road race it.  I hope he does try to race it, to clean the obviously muddy gene pool.

But, of course it was made to have a standstill burnout picture taken and then sell or park the bike in the fool's garage.

I'm rather dismayed anyone would take any design queues from that picture.  It's pretty much a ruined machine.

Not that I have any deep rooted opinions  ;D

Cheers,

not defending the Darwin award seeker that built it but usually whilst doing a stationary burnout your forks will compress as far as they can due to the brakes being on and the back end trying to rise and push the front end down

Its not Jwilde, nor is it GV1390. Its some hipster on an image bike.

Dusty, if you put that seat on your bike, I'm never talking (about/to/for) you again. And I'll rip every single piece of wire from your K1- Then I might even bonk you in the head. And I'll plaster your bike, car, helmet, and tattoo your forehead with Hillary stickers!  >:(

Is the smoke coming off his tyre, or his clutch? ;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?"
