    I think they are great art. And impracticable vehicles.

    If it was down to sheer indulgence - sans budgetary considerations - I would buy a BMW Megamoto and put all the goodies on it.

    It'd be different if it were a bike. It's just a 3 wheeled sportscar with bars. I'd rather have a Honda S2000. At least I could put the roof up when it rains.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    FWIW, I don't care what Granny NoRide thinks of my bike. I'm having too much fun when I'm riding to waste time thinking about it.

    nah that's cool, I think the last one is a bid ugh but the other two are sweet and more like it for the wow factor. Exile cycles is cool too and many more small outfits and individuals across the globe, it just seems to me the big companies are happy to turn out much the same thing year after year, great bikes that they are, we don't seem to get those landmark bikes anymore, like...

    BMW R100RS . First Fully faired production bike, I think, certainly of my era, all kinds of hideous befaired things came after.

    Fireblade. first superbike ? certainly the forerunner of R1 and gixxer missiles

    The Goldwing, frankly a joke at the time, 1000cc out run by many a little smoker but it evolved into a benchmark for two wheeled winebegos.

    FJ 1100 sports bike, outdone by that Kawasaki thing GPZ ? but evolved into the FJ 1200 sports tourer and I still think it holds it's own in that class all these years later and so on in to boringdom.

    I did see a ducati custom/cruiser once, it was a one off unless your minted but it's the kinnda thing that makes you go, cripes that's different.

    The reason why the few remaining examples were never raced competitively isn't due to the rarity, but rather the fact that they're simply not strong enough to cope.

    It's a deeply flawed bike. But still very beautiful in its own way.
    The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

    Care to elaborate?

    Could'nt agree more. After owning a shitload of bikes over the years i've got a bit jaded at the choices available which is why i built my own. Dont get me wrong i still love all types of motorcycles and there are some new ones that i might even consider owning but theres that dam many that are so similar to each other i dont lust after them.

    I don't know whether this makes me vomit or if I like it. It's like a car crash, you can't stop looking at it, but don't know why.
