    Tasty!

    I'd always be a little apprehensive of any "strange" handling quirks that might raise their ugly heads on a special like that... especially with a Buell because they've got a few as standard

    The exhaust does need a rethink too.

    The story makes me wonder about the mechanical talents of some people "The Buell rolled into TJ’s Cycle as an unfinished project, ... Curious about why the Buell wasn’t running, Whitby and Blundell took the bike into the shop. They pulled the spark plugs to find no gap in either one. A new set were correctly gapped and threaded home, and with a battery and fuel the Buell fired"

    With skills like that (the original "builder") you'd have to wonder how they were going to handle stuff like suspension and brakes.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    I'm not brand loyal or anything. But I find that gross.

    Manx are race bikes. Light, minimalist, functional.

    Looks like a reject from a mad max movie.

    Oops, my bad - caught a quick glimpse of something shiney and thought 'muffler' when it was actually the suspension ('shockie')
