How does that person reconcile his nazi leanings with the default ARE TROOPS murica thing associated with harleys? Content:  I think sticking anachronistic stuff on a modern crotchrocket is much more pleasing and less gaudy than ohlins bling+frame chop on an old shitter and I hope the trend continues. Finally a fad I can get behind!

The kind of 'Patriots' that buy into the "Harley=American and therefore better than anything else" line are the same kind of people that voted for Trump because he's going to put up a wall around Mexico and kick all the brown people out of this country.

It's a Hell's Angels thing. I assume it came around the same way that bikers got Nazi helmets and iron crosses.

I always want to pet dogs from car windows when I pass at lights, but then I worry that the dog might get too excited and try to jump out.

Sonny Barger: quote:In terms of pure workmanship, personally I don't like Harleys. I ride them because I'm in the club, and that's the image, but if I could I would seriously consider riding a Honda ST1100 or a BMW. We really missed the boat not switching over to the Japanese models when they began building bigger bikes. I'll usually say "gently caress Harley-Davidson."

There was a really huge doofy looking Rottweiler riding in the passenger seat of a Ranger I passed the other day. I wanted to pet that dog so bad. Lady in the driver's seat looked mental though so I decided not to even ask.

You're talking about the late Dr. Robert Harms here. One can only assume that this bike, once finished, would probably have transcended its very very humble beginnings.

Z3n posted:http://m.ebay.com/itm/272318892794 The more I look at this, the less I hate it. It's wildly unpractical, ugly, and almost certainly unrideable but as far as a "I built this in my garage with nothing but my hosed up ideas" type project I like it. There's some interesting engineering going on and assuming the whole thing doesn't fold like a prom date when power is applied some of it might actually work. Most of the workmanship is quite decent, I've seen worse welds on 90's Buells. While some of it is artsy-fartsy (do I count 3 pistons used as decoration?) the good doctor took the time to engineer what appears to be a functional center stand, when was the last time you saw an art bike with one of those? It's a piece of poo poo, but it's an interesting piece of poo poo. The real shame is that he chose a Blast as the heart of the thing, because there are tractors rotting in corn fields with more interesting powerplants.

He knew it would fold like a prom date when power is applied so he deliberately chose a hopelessly powerless bike.

Also found these: Let me just take a look at that quote:This is a fun bike, the more you look, the more you see, like the fully functional Ford airbag mounted where the tank would sit (the sensor is on the front fork), the taillight mounted inside a piston, the now solid plunger rear suspension acting as part of the swingarm controlled by a single shock. The list goes on and on.

He was actually doing what 90% of custom bike builders pretend to do.

This is my bike. Except mine is better because his is a mere R60 where mine is an R69. Also he thinks he's a cute little clever fairy by kicking the start lever from the seat when you're supposed to do it while standing beside it. But he's a STUNT MAN so he kicks it from the seat. So cute and clever. Also he doesn't like powdercoating things because he doesn't like his things to last very long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzrx5VZtJPU

Did you just unironically call someone a "fairy" because they didn't kickstart their motorcycle in a way you'd prefer?
