Title: Re: whats the weirdest cycle accessory you've seen? Post by: ROBsS4R on October 04, 2009, 08:27:32 PM I Don't find that strange at all.
People have been doing that with cars forever. Whats better than riding all day an having a warm meal ready for ya before you hit the hay =) Title: Re: whats the weirdest cycle accessory you've seen?

Hmmm...I'll take that back. The cooker in the pic is attached to the midpipe, not the cans. Still won't work well with Boom Tubes though. ;) Blackducky - you know you're supposed to ride the bike, right?! [cheeky] Title: Re: whats the weirdest cycle accessory you've seen?

Title: Re: whats the weirdest cycle accessory you've seen? Post by: Gator on October 05, 2009, 04:21:54 AM This should probably go under dumbest mod. but, on my way to work the other day I saw two cops standing behind a Dark monster. This guy has "darked out" everything on his bike; license plate, turn signals, everything but the tires were painted matte black or powder coated.
It did look kinda cool, but his bike was being towed away. I did not see if he had done the headlight, if not I am sure it was on his to do list.

I'm just not into booze on the bike. And can't really drink through my full-face helmet, and would spill anything that wasn't sealed going around turns. Why not put it in the backpack or tank bag then? Its kinda like old BMW cars that didn't come with cup holders. "Why do you need a cup holder? You shouldn't be drinking, you are driving." Title: Re: whats the weirdest cycle accessory you've seen? Post by: mitt on October 05, 2009, 08:21:54 AM along with the fake kick starter, the fake brembo covers are up there.

Why not put it in the backpack or tank bag then? Its kinda like old BMW cars that didn't come with cup holders. "Why do you need a cup holder? You shouldn't be drinking, you are driving." Gawdammit, because some of us only have bikes, which means if you *ever* want take out, fast food, or coffee when you get into work, you need a cup holder. Sometimes work ain't got coffee, and you don't have time to go somewhere and drink it, hence it needs to find it's way back to the office. Wedging it in your tankbag sucks, and typically spills coffee on work shoes, and those spillproof cups ain't always spillproof. Sure, you could find a way around it, but don't tell me you've never craved some junk food so bad that you just had to go get it? Title: Re: whats the weirdest cycle accessory you've seen? Post by: junior varsity on October 05, 2009, 10:17:04 AM fair enough. i try to get water everywhere, and tap is fine with me. so i usually pass on the "meal-deal" and save a penny or two.
but how's the drink going to stay in the cup holder, and not leak coke all over the side of your bike? Title: Re: whats the weirdest cycle accessory you've seen?

Beats me-most of these places are 2 miles from me-AKA, you could make it in good time on the bike even not leaning, but you ain't walking it during mealtime.

Title: Re: whats the weirdest cycle accessory you've seen? Post by: DucHead on October 06, 2009, 04:00:38 AM Tassels.
I don't understand why a man would add these to any motorcycle. The only other two-wheeled vehicles with handlebar tassels belong to 8 year-old girls. Title: Re: whats the weirdest cycle accessory you've seen? Post by: junior varsity on October 06, 2009, 04:06:31 AM Tassels. I don't understand why a man would add these to any motorcycle. The only other two-wheeled vehicles with handlebar tassels belong to 8 year-old girls. I couldn't agree more. I can't figure out if its supposed to be reminiscent of the exotic dance clubs where the ladies where tassles, or if it was from grips wrapped in leather, and there was excess at one point. it looks absurd no matter what, and seems like it would be annoying while you rode.

Training wheels. Definitely, training wheels (NOT a trike) on a H-D. http://www.mtcvoyager.com/ (http://www.mtcvoyager.com/) Title: Re: whats the weirdest cycle accessory you've seen?

Training wheels. Definitely, training wheels (NOT a trike) on a H-D. http://www.mtcvoyager.com/ (http://www.mtcvoyager.com/) The local Victory dealer seems to do a brisk business in those -- he's always got a couple of Eight Balls or Kingpins out front with them installed. The weirdest application I've ever seen, though was on the interstate between Tucson & Phoenix as I overtook a bike with these training wheels. The whole scene was a bizarre slow reveal since I was only going a couple of MPH faster than him: I could tell from a distance that there were at least two wheels across the back, then three as I got closer. A little closer and I noticed the big "SGT. ROCK" placard, about three or four times the size of an auto license plate. Then I saw the regalia -- leather vest surrounding a rather ample midsection with a menacing, pseudo gang patch covering the back, and a long, braided pony tail dangling out from under the do-rag. Aside from the training wheels, there was something odd about the bike that I couldn't figure out until I was almost right next to him, and then there it was: a Suzuki Burgman scooter. Then again, I always say people should ride whatever makes 'em happy, and by all appearances, he was having a good time out there. Title: Re: ?

Yeah, I was with a non-moto riding friend once and we say some H-Ds with apehangers that had the braided leather whips hanging down from the bars. They must have been three feet long. My friend, who knew I own an H-D asked, "What up with those tassle thingies?" "I don't have friggin' clue" was all I could offer. Title: Re: whats the weirdest cycle accessory you've seen?
