Topic: The Abomination thread!

[gpzkat]

There were only a couple pics on the ad, that's it. I talked to the seller. He's on the fence, trying to figure out whether to sell or not. I didn't pressure him. Had a good chat. Maybe we'll make a deal but I understand his position.

Do you have a better pic of the full back wheel?

What is that on the rear disc/wheel ?

[gpzkat]

Brake side is an oil cooler.  Clutch side is a catch can / vapor cannister with vent on top.

Screw the bike, I'd be buying the Dodge 1 1/2ton truck.

Hipsterbait, bawhahahaha! That one belongs in the Dickshunary thread, well called.

Feel free to add it!

Someone’s vision does not necessarily translate into a desirable, sellable item!!

  As far as a vision, it is like the fine line between insanity and genius. Likewise is the abomination vs saleable item.   Here for your viewing pleasure we have a raked Honda CR chopper/bobber.   Though I would not have done it exactly this way, I have to say nicely done.  Without even looking, a raked CR chopper/bobber definitely has abomination potential in my mind's eye.

I rather like this machine. I'm not so sure how streetable that motor would be though.

Look what they did to Terry's bike !
He took it to the wrong shop

looks like a very interesting front end , i presume it still leans over as they are using the side stand .  not sure its an abomination .

Ok, not really an abomination because it actually works for what it was set up for. A friend of mine here is a serial bike builder and also quite an artist. He took this GL and stripped it down just for drag racing here at the track and does very well. I think it gets into the 10’s. It sounds great.
He’s going to sell it because he has clutch hand issues and has gone to a dual clutch VFR1200. He says it’s smooth and fast and shifts great.
He’s got a little shop here that he works in.
