Not to obsess, but the fabricated seat base is pretty bad. Whatever did happen to rectangular headlights? I don't know, but after looking at this photo, I guess I understand why.

Theres Ugly,Butt Ugly, And Nothing but Ugly.  That's "nothing but ugly". The only thing that woulda made it uglier is Ape hangers.

  Don't forget ugly as sin.  That one hurts to look at it.  It hurts even more to know it's located not to far from me and I'll have to restrain myself from going over there and lashing the owner w/ a dipstick like the bearded demon from the oil commercial.

       Yeah scunny, I agree, to each his own. :) But now, he's trying to sell it to someone else. And then, they'd have to do SOMETHING with it! :o  :D If the buyer was gonna be me, I'd want him to keep the offensive parts. ::)

I have seen worse, but this is pretty bad. There are not a lot of bikes that look good with colored frames. I don't think it would have looked so bad if it was painted all black. Opinions are like.... well, lets just let that one go. Live and let live. It has two wheels, so it automatically has some cool points.

Should this be added the the "INSPIRATION GALLERY" or a new "The Converse of Inspiration" gallery? A gallery of what not to do.  ;)

I finally got the cases apart after all this time.... found a giant hole.

So sadly no.... no progress this time. But maybe, I'll be able to get started soon.

Oh wait... Eva Mendes is knocking on my door.....
