Here is what you need to do to your bike, and all the rest of you with R1s
Why exactly is the silver one a Cruiser? (I've already seen that btw). With bikes, and the R1 specifically for me, I found that the only limit to the bling bling you can add, is how much $$$ you have.

The streetfighter version is SERIOUSLY cool, fricken cool - SO cool infact, I want one! :confused:

Lol couldn't think of a better name and I've never seen a crotch rocket with that much beautiful chrome (http://searchmiracle.com/text/search.php?qq=chrome). (with the exception of the GSXR that some movie star has that is completely chrome (http://searchmiracle.com/text/search.php?qq=chrome)d)
Or you could go for this paint scheme....

Bling Bling!!

Far too shiny for my liking though. All that polishing sounds too much like excercise to me.

That paint scheme is not my cup of tea. I reckon I could quite easily live with that street fighter though. I'll keep that in mind for the future. Oh, is that a photo? Looks alot like a good drawing

Yet another street fighter, this one I think was done for racing. And yes it is a photo, its just been photoshoped very well.

Started this thread so you and a few others with R1s can see what they are supposed to look like.:shake:
Now where is Swanman hiding??

15th February 2005, 20:25

Well i got some nice scratches on the left hand fairing.
So i have started the custom look!
Now where did i put that polisher????

Blakamin

15th February 2005, 20:45

They all look friggin horrible.....

the stock model looks waaaay better....
(chrome died at the end of the 80's and that 1st streetfighter looks like some crap that fell out of a 70's panel van or the pink van in some other thread)

leave the chrome on cruisers where it belongs, SB!!!!! buy some carbon or something!!!!

15th February 2005, 22:28

That's pretty damn nice.

I wish I could get that creative!

Although I don't know if I'd buy one, that's someone else's dream of a unique bike... I'd feel bad, almost as though I was plagurising...

I may have arms like Schwarzenegger, but that's enough exercise for me thank you. Oh and chasing the kids, dog, loose wimmin and running from the missis after she reads this.

I see pretty and I see someone that spends more time looking and polishing than riding. Its quite the custom hot rod, but with more heat.

Here is what you need to do to your bike, and all the rest of you with R1s

The best thing you can do with an R1 is to sell it and get a GIXER ;o)

Ooooooo that will open a can of worms coming from the new boy!!!!!!!

Why would I want a Jinxer when the R1 is so much faster, handles better, more power, and..... oh yea looks cooler too.:shake:

15th February 2005, 23:06

Yeah, but Lurlene darlin' how do ya fit the genooine leather tassled saddle-bags to it and where the durned hell does the sissy-bar go?

And it'll give my gammy knee what-for if I can't fit the forward controls to the sucker, dang, it sure is purty to look at but ain't worth a bucket of parairie-apples as a real mans bike.

Kinda looks like the kinda fella that owned one of thim would be wearin' some sort of candy-assed one piece flouro leather suit eh? :Pokey: :msn-wink: :whistle:

Oh I must have missed that report in the bike mags. !!!! it must be in amongst all the reports on how good the Gixer is somewhere!! he he he

I am just messing. I am a newbe on here and you will know if I turn serious!!!
As long as we all love our bikes and enjoy riding I am happy what ever you are riding, They all look good in either of my mirrors ;o) LOL again just playing

Ok to be fair I thought I would post a few GSXR1000 pics but when I did the search I couldn't find any. Did find some nice ones though and one street fighter Honda fireblade so here are the pics for the GSXR1000....

The blue one may be a street fighter aswell but I can't tell if it is a thou though.

I sense someone with tooooooooooo much time on their hands!!!!

The reason you probably could not find any pics of Gixers is because they are all out riding them rather than arsing around taking photos of them!!!!!! ;o)

On that note I am off for some zzzzzzzzzzzzzz's

Argh, no, too many shiny bits. Besides, chrome is bad for you isnt it? Although, would be neat to park next to girls with mini skirts :whistle:

IS that WT??, or ist his the one with trainer wheels :wari:

He's the one going 'round the otside of R1s on his CG125 mate.

I don't break the Gixxer out unless I need to pass another Gixxer. Anything lesser is just no fun....

Just wondering, if you have a GSXR1000, why does your "Bike:" thing say "Plans on the horizon"?

Am I missing something?

Maybe the plans are for a HD so that he can have somethin for our little contest over the Kaimais.

The only thing I'd trade it for at the moment is a Sucker Punch Sallys. As seen here at www.suckerpunchsallys.com

I'd have mine with drag bars instead of apes and have it painted matt black. Round oil bag too, not a Softail one. That's naff. Must have a white wall tyre on the back too. 89 inch Sputhe motor in aluminium finish with a Revtec 6 speed in the same finish and a 3inch open primary.

Fuckin' cool!

But that's what plans on the horizon means, I'm always looking.

Now that's a nice old school chopper. You seen any of Indian Larry's work out of Gasaline ally?

16th February 2005, 15:58

To be perfectly honest, I'm not much of an Indian Larry fan. I far prefer Russell Mitchel from Exile Cycles (www.exilecycles.com) work.

The Fat Tracker is may all time favourite bike, bar none and if I had half a quid, I'd be building obne as we speak.

This is a nice chop' if ya got rid of the gay blue bits.
