Couldn't figure out what you were on about, thought it looked quite good, and was expecting something quite nice when I saw the pictures of the carbon fibre wheels.

And then it happened about 80% of the way through the page 50cent and Snoop Dogg beat him up, stole his bike, did horrible blingy things to it, and gave it back to him :no:

Front mudguard, scratched it getting it in n out of house, not happy!

He keeps it in the house? I'd be leaving it outside hoping someone would steal it.

Wow,that was....um,like really exciting,thanks Jaz.I think he makes a good stereotype analretentive - I bet his bathroom is really clean,and all the towels hang perfectly straight.

If he walked into my house,or saw my bike he'd probably have a breakdown on the spot.Oh deary me,the world is full of sad people....

I spent all day yesterday cleaning and polishing my bike ready for the Wednesday run to Sherburn.

I text a few of the lads and not one seems bothered about the ride out, has my crash really put every one off..?

Me thinks he's gone a bit....ahhh no (correction) WAY overBORED! Sad thing is that's 5mins I spent looking at that site I've never get back.

Stuffed the brake calipers and other alloy bits with the waterblaster - ahhAHH.

If he'd left it the way he'd got it from the shop, with the paint job; that bike would have been cool.

I'm sure by now he has a sheepie seat and has raised that bars.

Tell you what, bling or no bling it looks like pressure washing your bike is one _bad_ idea. You see what it did to his bearing?

I think it actually looks alright. I've actually just finished building that exact bike (Tamiya model), in green with the same decals...

I don't see anything wrong with someone buying something THEY like and doing it how THEY want it. If it makes him happy whats wrong with it?

There's nothing wrong with it, it's just fun to mock people anonymously - hence the popularity of online forums such as kiwibiker....

Things like that should be illegal... Simply for the fact that anyone who saw a christmas tree on two wheel like this one would be forced to pull the rider over and shoot him in the head... Thus commiting murder and then going to jail...

What a total bling freak that guy is! :spudwow:

As I was scrolling down closer and closer to the end of the page I anticipated an explosive ending, like pics of the bike totalled on the side of the road or summat, but no, it ends sedately with yet another link and recommendation to a bling supplier.

Only got to half way through (where he gets a new screen) and up to then it looked o.k. to me (but then what would I know, I ride a Harley)

After that point the pics stopped showing, just got the red X thing.

Difrnt strokes fer difrnt folks.

You did scroll ALL the way to the bottom of his web page didn't you?

yeah I did. I like it when people personalise their bikes. Even if it looks as you all say "ghey".

The only thing I didn't like was the kawasaki green on the bike (which he didn't do... kawasaki did). I don't like the kawasaki green... on any bike

I understand your point about customisation - one mans poisen is another womans pleasure aside from tritons and their ilk - the average english custom bike leaves me full of ..... um - I don't usually like em...

Personal taste and all that...

OK. It's a ZX12R. Does EVERY bit of it have to say that? :yawn:

Maybe I'm missing something...all I can see is a bike with a few too many bling bits put on and a shitty neon kit...but the stock paint job...?

I don't know about the others, but I think the horror is more a result of, well... the combined symphony of horror that is the website design, the godawful (but strangely appropriate) lift music, his strange, anal-obsessive witterings, and last - but not least - what he eventually turns the bike into. Without really riding it much at all, it seems.

Feel free to nominate someone you feel more worthy of our mockery, though; God knows they're out there!
