Title: What has been seen...
Post by: redrider on January 20, 2015, 04:52:00 PM: Today I saw what, IMHO, was the most barbaric, imbecilic motorcycle travesty. A BMW s1000. Stretched swingarm. Trashed bodywork. One disc on the front. It was all I could do to not erupt on the ignoramus riding the abomination. Thank goodness no one has tried this on a Guzzi.

Post by: Kiwi Dave on January 22, 2015, 04:02:20 PM: I'm fairly sure that's a Kiwi bike :-[

But fear not, the builder kept all the original parts, and has returned it back to a V11 Rossa Corsa.

Some of his work on this bike was very clever, even if it was a little misguided.

Post by: kevdog3019 on January 27, 2015, 09:37:30 AM: Yeah, but if the guy loves it and puts miles on it it's doing more than some of our rides that are stock. Never know if it was a crashed bike or basket case beforehand.

Post by: kckershovel on January 27, 2015, 09:58:02 AM: As long as the owner likes it and it gets ridden I guess that is all that maters. Brings a whole new meaning to the words Sport Cruiser.
