here's some radical from yamaha, almost like something you'd see in a dream??

http://www.gizmag.com/yamahas-1200cc-super-tenere-secrets-revealed/13836/picture/108410/ 

there's the rest of them...

looks like a cool bike in a bridesmaid's dress

The way the "material" covers the headlights reminds me of how a ninja's outfit covers the face.

BikeEXIF seems to know right where I live - or want to anyways

Exif says
the gas tank is made of a single sheet, hand laid and vacuum formed.

But the auction says
Custom carbon-fiber parts by Underground Bobbers
Gas Tank (Carbon-fiber wrapped)

That's kind of an interesting thought - wrapping the tank up ?

That's very, very cool.  Now I know what direction to go with my CM400C and CB400T kicker engine...... I wonder how bad comstars would make it look?  (pretty bad)

These were posted on another thread. I was really surprised how good they looked. Who'd a thunk?   ;D  RR

I remember hearing it could freeze totally between Sweden and Denmark this winter (last time in 1942). Yeah, it has been really nice winter for kids. It is about 50-60cm snow also in Helsinki.

saucer of milk for two... "meow"!  ;D

i love the blue on that box '.ni.f.e... these are the chops/bobbers i like.



btw: that's (wrenchmonkeys) not the only bike that's been posted over and over. sometimes it's due to brain fade (i've re-posted pix i've posted before) and due to all the pages it's easy to overlook a bike even if you scan previous pages. not a super big deal imo.

haha, i just noticed my "ignore by" number went up right after my post about that bike that everyone has to keep posting. 754, other dude who called me boxhead, you'll miss my smartassery! please, take me back!
