 I wanna see the WOT on this..
 The Wrath of Terry from Oz.. heh heh..

Vendetta? Lol.

Anyway, I'm just a strong believer in community and you don't #$%* on those inside your community. I can't defend every motorcycle builder out there but I saw this thread and I am defending these guys because I'm a fabricator and I know the effort that went into it. It's far from #$%* and I'm going to keep saying so every time someone says it is. I'm just a dick I guess.

certainly saved me the effort of calling you one.

You're just as welcome to your opinion as the rest of us!

Just because a fellow fabricator made it seems kind of lame?  <--- Plz don't take as an insult it seems kind of curt, just trying to express myself.

You look like effort isn't one of your strong suits.

I would rather have that hike in my back yard than Tom Waits...

See Frank...I completely understand    But I still like Tom

Some people struggle with words and punctuation.

[dave500]

some people struggle with reality.

This thread reminds me of my buddy Henry's attempt to build a two-wheel drive bike, similar to a Rokon. His idea was to include two-wheel steering, so as to make it more maneuverable in tight quarters; sort of a two-wheel "rock-crawler". After spending a small fortune on universal joints, sprockets, chains, and pillow-block bearings, the thing was a total failure, developing a death wobble at any speed over 5 MPH. He didn't build it because anyone paid him, he built it for the challenge and fun of it, and he knew when it was time to move on to other projects, like the XR 500 powered minibike burn-out machine.

 The coolest part was while on youtube I saw a link to a Corvair powered Harley and that led to seeing a VMW Willis adapter to put a vw engine in front of a beemer trans.

I bet Tom Waits wouldn't want this bike in his garage

Come on, guys.... Does anybody REALLY believe this thing is "new" and a move ahead??? Considering the serious engineering that goes into today's bikes to make them rideable and excellently handling, this thing is a joke! I don't care how much they time and effort they spent to give it a hub steering front end that Bimota had decades ago. Yes, it belongs into a museum. A museum of weird and useless styling efforts. Not in a motorcycle museum.

If all you have ever done is buy NOS parts and stock parts off eBay you wouldn't understand. But if you have ever had to actually fabricate something with a welder, grinder, and trial and error you would appreciate what they did in a small shop. To compare them to a multi-billion dollar corporation is ridiculous. Of course a factory built bike made by a machine is going to be better in many ways. It's the ability to create and fabricate a working machine that some people appreciate more than store bought stamped by the millions parts. Some people don't have skill to understand.

You don't even know who you are talking to.
I guess when you asked not to bash anyone in the "community", you go by "Do as I say and not as I do".

[Stev-o]

Making an extra large batch...

[calj737]

Can you pop up a batch of Caramel Corn too? Or true kettle corn?

How is this bashing? Some want stock restored machines where all you do is buy parts. Some make their own. It's not bashing it's truth. Bashing is saying that your stock restoration is #$%* because it is not what I would do.

We're on it!

How the f... do you think you know that?

The more you post, the more it seems you are really not worth responding to. Why don't you sign up for a Twitter account and go there?

Mike, I think his post was a general "all you do is buy parts", and not directed at you personally.

[Paintedseat]

Let it go. You're right I'm wrong. Have a good day.

[MikeSimon]

Mike, I think his post was a general "all you do is buy parts", and not directed at you personally.

I am willing to take this into consideration, but for someone who chastises others for spelling, punctuation and grammar, he could have worded that a little different to take the personal finger-pointing out of it.

..and here is why his comments irked me a little

[Paintedseat]

They weren't aimed at anyone specifically and they are not meant to be an insult. It's just a comment on the difference between some owners and others. It applies to pretty much any hobby.

Understand that I am not going to take #$%* without giving some. That's the way it should be; don't you think?

So you built a custom bike and had it in a J&P SHOW .   Got any pics ?

[dave500]

"Understand that I am not going to take #$%* without giving some. That's the way it should be; don't you think? "

no #$%* was directed at you personally at first but that stupid excuse for a "motorcycle",you were the one who started the derogatory personal insults indirect or direct fella.

[Terry in Australia]

The more I look at it, the more I think that if it didn't have a CBX engine in it, no-one would care less about it. I've seen better.
