will there be a electroshock therapeutic treatment program to re-educate the butchers of the unfortunates? .. i'll volunteer to keep on pressing the zap button every time they reach for the hacksaws or wrenches!!  ;)

Ha! I know a few owners of those bikes......

If I recall correctly, the maker of the video (Ichiban Moto) caught some flak recently for one of his builds. I could be wrong though.

Banzai, thank you for this. My thoughts exactly. Why they do this to rare, classic, good looking bikes is beyond me. Too much American Chopper me thinks.

I'll play the minority....I LIKED SOME OF THOSE! Granted..a few were really really bad. But, to be fair, you can tell some of those shots were from unfinished projects...and I would bet a few were bikes that were NOT in mint condition to begin with. Just trying to be fair here, that's all.  :thumb:
