Two Wheels + Design

[positivementalattitude]

motorcycles can be a beautiful thing, my personal favorites are in the sport category, although choppers can be nice as well. I'm interested in new more aerodynamic designs...

this might be corny,
but them chopper shows on tv have been making me want to build one,

not one of them occ style, chester cheeto bullshits,
but like an old triumph,
something from the 40s or 50s,
where its just frame, motor, and bare bones.

i went to a hot rod show recently,
and some of those builders had the jankiest choppers,
shit was dope,
all petina'd and pinstriped.

which also got me into pinstriping,
i got a couple cans of one shot and some brushes, and been fucking around with that.

except a 996 S superbike. its all personal preference. I prefer the old naked bikes as opposed to the new ones. One of my boys has a bad ass Triumph from the 70's that is bare bones and single seated. Also suicide shifter for extra bad ass points.

[KephaOneLove]

id like to see a flic of your boys bike...sounds bad ass

I haven't been on a motorized bike in years... but this one, if in production, could change that. However... that rear fairing would have to go.

Lovely thread by the way.

[SteveAustin]

some of those new bikes are pretty damn interesting....but I'm gonna stick with this timeless little gem.

i'm so glad this thread is gaining some momentum, heres more food for thought, i'd liek to open the span to anything two wheel inspired, motor powered or human driven....

[SteveAustin]

I absolutely hate recumbent bikes.
they sit waaaaay too low to the ground for my personal comfort.
I bet that thing looks like a speed bump to someone in an SUV.

They look like they'd be fucking huge.
Plus, it would take away from the dream of someday paying someone a metric assload of money to build one custom for you.

i took a part in building one prototype with a japanese group that does custom bikes, the one above in the photo on the street is it.

it had to be reduced from the actual scale , you can search for pics on the net, you'll immediately notice teh simple fact that the rider sits higher up than kaneda does in the film, however, i have a new piece in the works that should be to scale, and they aren't a gazillion dollars, more like a quarter of a million...

keep this thread moving, please, thankyou.

edit: i also wanted to note to you fellows, teh bike in the film is said to boast 200hp, the prototype was running about 80hp, the new model in the works should be up around the proposed 200.
