There's just too much black left on that bike, yuck.
And I'd hate to have to soak those carbs...

He hasn’t even riden it yet… better hope he got the carbs really clean or it will be a nightmare…

Some people have no taste and should be kept away from tools and paint…

Sad part, I think , is the compliments he has gotten on it…

"Content not found"? Maybe someone snapped it up already? Actually my favourite Aussie (no) Rules football team's colours are black and yellow, so it'd be popular at least once a year at the AFL Grand Final. The early DOHC Honda's were pretty forgettable bikes anyway, so no harm done. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Yep, that's gotta be the first social media page I've seen where someone didn't rip into him and tell him to leave the tools and paint cans to the adults...... ;D

I like the slash cut frame, I'd have put a baffle in there and made it the muffler.

I figure his wife was bugging him about all the junk in the yard he said he needed for something.

To prove himself right he created a terrible wrong.

It looks quite well made, although it'd be no good in my street with the speed bumps the local council installed to slow down all the bogans with their lowered cars...... ;D

400cc without a governor.  Use it or lose it. Like what happened to the breaks.

I'd be cautious taking it over any large bump without brakes + that frame could bend in the middle..

I rode Davey’s 1984 Harley FLH yesterday. Davey was only a little fella so he installed lowered rear shocks and  adjusted the fork rake out (it’s a Police special with adjustable steering rake for sidecar use) to lower the front. It looks cool as a “Low rider”, but doesn’t like speed humps, or corners…. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
