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 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.

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...
