I think I've found Spikeybike's inspiration for the Phoenix:   :P

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/mcy/1073690617.html


LOL  I had to laugh at how much I detest this bike, and I actually LIKE the Phoenix! It's all in the execution!

this person never outgrew their stuffed animals from childhood?

How do I make a file of the best pics in this thread? I'm not a tech guy, can someone help out? It would be nice not to have to wade through all the chit chat to get to the good stuff. TIA

If you are using the web browser "Mozilla Firefox" you can simply right click the picture and select "Save As" to a folder on your desktop.  I have actually started this endeavor and have only made it to around Page 60.  a Rough guess would be approximately 700 pics.  :o :o :o That's excluding Non-motorcycle pictures and duplicates! There is still almost 40 pages to go!

Some pictures don't work right with the "Right click" method.  These have a "link" under them that you can Left click on (again, in Firefox) and choose to Open or save.  Click save and you're on your way.

Hope this helps.

You can also get the Save Images addon that will save all the pictures from the current page.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3404

Just make sure you set it so it doesn't save images less than a few kb in size, such as smile's and such.

EDIT: OH! I didn't see the post before it...... WOW!!

See ya at 200! ::)  With the economy where it is... and going, that new 'Suzuki' seems plausible.

This one below was posted before but I think it was pre-paint. At least it's Honda, right?

like the routing of exhaust on the bmw, the profile of the guzz is classic! i like hopped up gl's too, a bit too bulky to call cafe, but they have that road warrior look about them.

I emailed them some time ago about the swingarm. $1500+. Yikes!  Still I like the treatment. I am putting a 17 on the front of mine and didn't know what it might look like till i saw this a year ago or so.
