Stretch your scooter for $150???  Workmanship is probably as good as this guy: http://www.ninja250forum.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=3395.msg24495#msg24495

Amazing the work some people go to in order to turn a perfectly good bike into a piece of crap. He could have saved all that work and money by simply pushing it off of a cliff.

Into the ocean would be better.  The masses of crappy scooters could serve as an artificial reef!

Dude you would be suprised how many latinos do this to their scooters. At bike night there is at least 15 of them. I asked them why "because it's cool" sure buddy. Wonder what Flick would do if I tried to do that to him?

One question springs to mind.

What the f%$k happens when you sit on one of those?????

Not to mention when you hit a bump or hole.

I'm speechless.

Oh ... actually around here it seems to be a brudda thing. I am sure the Mexicans would love to do it if they could get a credit card to go with their fake SS#. Hayabusa's seem to be the bike of choice, though the gsxr genre also is heavily stretched.
Cool.

Well, see that's the difference anything from you and Jim will definately be drop dead gorgeous. You two have taste and will find a reasonable way to do it too!

Buddha, they do that to the gixxers and busa's here too. I mean unless your drag racing there is no reason for it and most of the time there is so much chrome on them your eyes bleed. I saw one guy take a 40mph curve on one and couldn't get the bike to do it. said he ruined a $10,000 paint job. why would someone spend that much on paint even. It was the catholic Mary imagery all over it.

I saw a bike on CustomFighters that was completely chromed out...tank, seat, body parts, brake calipers, etc...I personnaly think chrome is tacky, but that is just me...the bike was nicely built, but USE PAINT!! 

I also don't get the lowering thing...bikes are low enough, ride the damn thing...some of the custom choppers are rediculous...

Of course there are other opinions, all the way to there is never enough chrome...??  To each their own, just don't expect me to be impressed, or nice....

Later.

doing this is no different then people on here stripping a perfectly fine 500F and turning it into an E  or painting everything flat black.  its all in that you are into.  or like the big decal on the side of your bike mary. or the 160 rear tire on mine.  everyone like what they like.   :thumb:

Reminds me of Pee Wee Herman's bike from the movie.

To each his own I guess.

I'm gonna have to disagree to a certain extent. Neither of the things you mentioned people doing to the GS inhibit the function of the bike. I'm all about people doing whatever they want, but still have to disagree.

well im guessing anyone that does it right is doing an air ride on them so they would still have suspension.

Yeah I thought about that. I just have doubts about anyone putting that much money into any of those scooters. You never know I guess.

For $150 I seriously doubt there is an Air ride suspension in there. They lower it and put fake chrome on it and a loud stereo!

What big sticker ?

I'm cool with customizing and to each their own. But, why make work worse than stock? That's what I'm trying to figure out that's all.

Wow. I just read through that whole thing. That's why I don't go on the ninja forums any more, because pages like this are in their 'knowledge base'.

Ah, I bet you guys are referring to the Metal Mulisha skull that was once on there. Yeah, that was covering up scratches. Not that I particularly liked it. It did the job for a bit. Then sitting in the church parking lot it occured to me that it might not be sending the right messages.

What I would like to do is some airbrushing I have a co-worker that does it but I don't have that kind of money. Was wondering though if maybe I could use stencils and start practicing. Just don't know what I want on Flick :dunno_white:

OMG, what a dumb piece of ***.  That thread made me cackle like a moron, good for the LOLz.  

Seriously, if I knew that guy, I would beat him senseless for doing that to a motorcycle and then posting it on the web.  Plus showing his total lack of regard for safety.
