Quote To each his own.... When I hear Hurricane Motorcycles I always think of this piece of "art" from them (http://freshbrand.com/STUFF/BikePics/huricane.jpg) Title: Re: Hurricane Motorcycles Post by: Dave R on November 18, 2009, 04:29:33 PM Really? art?? holes drilled through the frame, big cobby flat pieces of metal welded onto the frame to look like bracing and to support that swingarm??? all scary looking to me..
This is an example of art when it comes to frames (http://www.pierobonframes.com/images/pf065/pf065_1.jpg) And to offset the threadjack. The swingarm and frame are pure art.

I take my sweet time but I get things done right [thumbsup] This is true. For example, he took over two decades to find me ;D Title: Re: Hurricane Motorcycles Post by: MonsterMan1036 on November 19, 2009, 05:58:05 AM El Matador, Why was that bike taken apart?

This is an example of art when it comes to frames (http://www.pierobonframes.com/images/pf065/pf065_1.jpg) Couldn't agree with you more Dave... NCR, Banes, Pierobon are more like it. This Hurricane stuff is a bit too "backyard" for me. Title: Re: Hurricane Motorcycles Post by: junior varsity on November 20, 2009, 04:33:50 AM i never cared for the one with the twisted metal welded on. It was like a mashup of OCC and poor man's David Yurman jewelry.
On the other hand, that Pierobon frame looks great AS DOES Norm's hanging on El Matador's (DesmoLu's) garage wall. I would like to see somewhere that somebody did some math on any frame I bought though. Just a little freshman engineering statics would be fine. |
