I like the saying that opinions are like a-holes, cause they stink.

I am perturbed by comments that liking to go fast or thinking about performance is a squidly behavior.
the subject line is meant to be sarcastic and hopefully spit in the faces of bigots who judge bikers on appearance or what they like.

I like fast bikes. and cool looking bikes. So lets see some pictures.

**I had left the stock bars intack and on the bike. it looked funny, i shoulda took pics.

I was thinking today it would be nice to be able to go from a clip on position to a dirt bike bar type position while riding to prevent fatigue... this could be the solution! :laugh:


On topic:  I saw that bike one ebay... if only I had some money, I could go pick up that bike right now

I touched this bike before dgyver sold it. That's a Katana front end. Look in the FAQ section for a "Weekend Wrenching" on how to do it from the man himself.

Rumor has it he's working on a super secret GS. I tried to go see him, but the guards at the gate and the 15 foot tall razor wire fence kept me out.  :laugh:

Sigh.... my old bike...

Yeah, it uses an older model GSXR windscreen. You can see quite well thru it while tucked behind the fairing.  Dgyver has the molds for it I think.
