Found this while searching for some info on a Shoei fairing I have. Cliff.

I had one of those on a 73 years ago. I really liked that fairing.

Maybe its an optical illusion, maybe its a good photochop... but the front and rear wheels seem to be at a much different angle. Not talking about straight in line with the bike, but vertically in relation to the ground. Don't they?

It appears that way because the bike is leaning on its side stand, and the front wheel is turned slightly to the right.

I was thinking that too... just doesn't look right this time for some reason.

dig the bike though, aside from the brown seat.

Why the tyres? That's just silly for road use.

Love the bike. Hate the tires.

Maybe he wants to herd sheep with a Ducati? I like it though.

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

the cool trend right now is those knoby dual sport tires. Basically all the bikes that would have had fat vintage firestone tires on them 2 months ago now show up with these tires. I blame it all on the movie the girl with the dragon tatto. I have had a couple of friends want to get into bikes and they all want the same bike with cafe seat knobby tires and flat black. Always flat black!

I clearly am behind the times.

The next craze will be street tires with glossy metalic paint.

LesterPiglet · « **Reply #8438 on:** August 22, 2012, 02:06:07 PM »

I'm afraid I've never been one for fashion, I'm quite practical and I know tyres like that would piss me off in around ten minutes of riding.

I want to make it to the salt one day. Speed week just ended and there are a lot of neat pictures.

the spike for the speedweek 2012...

i really like the knobby tires on a cafe bike, maybe not nessesarily a cafe bike, but a custom bike, but only when they serve a purpose. clip on bars and rear sets just dont seem practical for off road use. make the form fit the function. how many of the bikes like this are really takin off road. its like the soccer mom in the suv. if whoever builds the bike actually takes it off road and rides it like that awesome, nbd i guess its just not for me.

Recently an Ol'timer told me he and his buddies called dude's that road choppers with dirt tires "sexually confused". I'd gues he'd think the same thing about Cafe bikes with dirt tires too. I don't care for the green tank Duc, not just because the tires look dumb but it just doesn't flow. It looks thrown together with complete disregard for style or function.

My brother just sent my this. He saw it while he was dirt bike riding with some friends. He did not talk to the owner so I don't have any info.

Thats like a 99 R1. There are youtube vidoes of it ripping up a field. Not a lot of travel but it lays down a wicked roost.

That headlight might be from a Honda NIGHTMARE, but the forks are narrowed wideglide with looks like XS 650 wheel..
