But it's an 81, you could ride with pride !
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !

DuuuuuCaaaaaaTiiiiiiiiiiii
on the up
Newsflash. More than one fish in the sea.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

I have an inappropriate trouser reaction to that bike.
OK so the budget is:
CBX say $8000.
Spondon frame and swingarm rear shock and tank landed say $11000
CBR1000 front end complete say $2000.
Wheels: say $2k? or if using secondhand Honda say $1k.
Tyres $600
seat unit and miscellaneous bits say $2000
brakes: CBR1000 included, Brembo add $3000
Ohlins forks another $6000.
less CBX parts sold on tardme/ebay, say $2000
fuck up factor/contingency: $2500
Say minimum $25k all up, with the sky being the limit.
(and I havent allowed for pipes or dyno or any engine work) or a new wiring loom come to think of it.
Question: is it cooler than an stock 1098 for the same money? Subjective answer but in my eyes: Shit yeah!
I had an inappropriate trouser reaction to the fact that now you've laid it out like that it's not as expensive as I thought it would be, especially given that i can get a lot of the parts at trade or better......two CBX's would just be greedy though..... wouldn't it??!

It's only money.
Unexpected Spanish inquisition
True, but I think I'd rather spend it somewhere else....
Thanks for the heads up on the Wakan Doc (the bike in Doc's post) just checked out their website: http://www.engmore.com/home.html
Certainly quite sexy, I'd be more excited if it had a Ducati or Aprilia V-twin rather than a potato-potato engine though....lol

lol, I've never been a big Harley fan I'll freely admit but my dislike has intensified over recent years with the explosion of 'weekend bikers' that just buy them for pose value/image.
I'm sure there are still some hardcore enthusiast Harley riders out there and good on them, just not my thing - don't get me wrong if I won Lotto I'd probably have one in my 'collection' but I'd still feel uncomfortable about being associated with that particular bunch of Harley riders.
But, that is just my opinion and if Harleys are what spins your wheels then all power to you.
I have to admit I wouldn't be as hard on you if you had a Wakan or similar bike

Now that's where you are wrong....I've got plenty of imagination and right now I'm imagining just how much of my hard earned $$$ it would take to turn that thing into something nice :PThat's because you've NO imagination...and even less $$$$ I suspect

I let it slip recently to a close friend that I wouldn't mind a Fatboy for my next bike, and they cringed. I'm emotionally scared over that. Lucky they didn't see all the brochures under my bed.

If it makes you feel better Doc, I got REALLY close to buying a new Nightrod Special a few weeks ago.....came to my senses just in time, lol

You were lucky, cos everyone would have told you to get a real Harley. If you got one.
