show bikes are another animal. I've seen models with the really nice rims that ditch a front caliper cause it messes up the look. Repugnant to me, but to each his own.

I'd love to buy a 90s GSXR  http://hellforleathermagazine.com/galleries/icongsxr/icon-hyper-sports-gsx-r-burnout.php

or an early Honda CBR900rr. Those bikes captured my attention as a teen. I cringe a little every time I come across one and its usually chromed and stretched out.

My favourite useless bike was at a bike night in Kissimmee....it had a tv screen in the tank and another embedded in the headlight area...even had a PS2 or some other system hooked up to it  ::)

I was running an 836 Honda with 6 over arm and front dropped down. At my sawed off sidestand mount it sits about 4 inches off the ground, it runs high pipes. Cant corner very hard, but it is built to get off the line.

 If I take off against any sportbike at a light, and a cop sees us, guess who gets a ticket.. ??? Not the guy whose bike stayed  pretty level.. the wheelie bike gets the ticket prize..

 Works for me..
