Awesome! [evil]
I like the M1100 next to the "finished" product.
Just like shervin, another Epic Fail.
Ghetto-licious.
At least he does put some thought into the mods, but damn, what a piss poor execution.
That's one nasty dirty scooter. No garage queen for sure! [thumbsup] [moto]
He gets an "A" for the effort but the execution was so bad
I may not sleep too well tonight.
[puke]
Thanks. I needed a good laugh. [laugh]
Enjoyed reading this response.
QuoteProblem #1: you can't braze worth a damn, it's not hard to make it pretty.
Problem #2: you're completely and utterly without common sense.
what the hell are you doing letting your DOG watch you weld? So a mask is good enough for you...but sure it's not gonna hurt the dogs eyes at all? bravo sir, I didn't know dog's eyes were so superior for welding. Can I teach my dog to weld?
Also, welding on a WOODEN cabinet full of FLAMMABLE materials? My god.....does that really need to be pointed out? I figure you'll just blow your nuts off someday, because a man so inept in common sense shouldn't procreate!
So you started off with a heavy stock system...and ended with? Oh another heavy stock system but uglier, that makes sense?
I also notice you still have tools in their original wrapping hung on the wall. Good, now go return them as you obviously have no mechanical abilities.
oh, and flex pipe? really? yeah because that gives great smooth airflow...
[laugh]
Gotta say, chances are, if I had a two-fiddy ninja, it probably wouldn't get treated much better. I mean, what are you gonna do? Make it slower?
Thats gotta be a troll right?
i like this part-
QuoteEvery few hundred miles the aluminum would melt off, and I'd just stop somewhere and dig through trash cans until I found a replacement

QuoteYour exhaust didnt fall off, pretty sure it committed suicide.
Cleaning a motorcycle exhaust (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl3s73CM9zQ#normal)
Is that the same guy?
ROFL!
that is as a close second to shervin but its a really close second by like .1 %
Did anyone else have the Benny Hill song playing in their head while they watched that video? I really don't understand.
Why do you have to clean the headers for?

"Modify" your bike as you see fit ...but don't blind your dog when you do it. >:(

Shirley he can't be serious? :P
That's a piss take. ???
Lots of welding over plastics, chemicals, wooden benches etc. Grinding and shooting the sparks into the drywall (thanks for letting me use your garage, Dad!). Really, really poor welding. Poor workmanship, poor everything, actually. And then he puts it out there for everyone to see.
Hack.
Stupidity at full throttle!!.. Hopefully He doesn't breed, I feel bad for the Dog tho'.. I bet Lawyers follow Him around..
I knew a guy like this, He had a 1098, constantly had to fiddle and make the beast with two backs about with things because
he thought it would make it better, did some bloody poorly made "Upgrades" and changes to the bike,
and then complained and wanted repairs under Warranty when they went wrong, stupid part was
Ducati repaired things for him under warranty. A few quick examples:
- Rewired the headlights to make them brighter, it didn't, and he damaged the OEM wiring
- Changed all the exhaust brackets over to Aluminum plates using ultra thick alloy plates, we don't know why
but they looked very poorly made with sharp corners everywhere and never copied the original shape or angles.
- He replaced the Factory Clipons with bits of alloy pipe, held on with Zip ties and pipes clamps.
- Took a number of screws and bolts out and replaced them with Spikes with Threads on them, very sharp
and very bloody Dangerous.
- Decored the OEM exhausts, using a hammer and a wood Chisel!! Then blamed Ducati because the bike was running
like shit, and most of the mess left in the pipes from His butchery blocked the pipes restricting airflow. Ducati
gave him new exhausts! :o
- He dropped the bike, damaging the fairings, tank and Tail piece, he blamed the dealer for the damage! now this
was 4 weeks after the dealer had the bike, the bike left in perfect condition (They had detailed photo's of the bike)
But he insisted that the dealer had done the damage. The dealer paid for the damage to be repaired just to shut him
up. and he still complained about the free repair.
I could go on and on about the Damage and destruction this guy did to his bike, the pages and pages of letters he sent
to the Dealers and Ducati about the bikes "Problems"
But in every industry and hobby, there is always someone who is a Moron, who does more harm than good, does stupid
things for the sake of saving money or to make it better, because they think they know better than everyone else. [bang]

Noticed you said you "knew" a guy like this. I'd de-friend a guy like that in a heart beat, too. LOL Anyway, he must know somebody to get Ducati to bend over backwards for him. *facepalm*
proving the old adage of "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" is still alive and well today.
all it takes is enough whining and complaining and you can get any corporate entity to do anything just get you to shut the F up!

Oh No! I never said he was a friend! Don't wish that shit on me! [laugh] The make the beast with two backsTard used to rock up at the Particular dealer I
used to work for.
No, he wasn't a friend with anyone at the Ducati distributor, they all knew him though, he was a serial pest and more often they
would just do it (the Repairs) to shut him up and not get harassed constantly, he had a mate who was a Solicitor/Lawyer and he
used to be able to get a hold of Directors/Managers email and address and he would send them letters, Emails and constantly call everyone.
He was unemployed on workers comp, and he nothing better to do, but get stoned, make the beast with two backs about with his bike, break something and
then blame everyone else and demand it was repaired for free, last I heard he was sending a letter of demand stating he wanted the
bike replaced and a free Hypermotard for the time and inconvenience all the trips to the dealer for "Warranty" repairs.
I never did hear how his "Claim" went.
I could go on and on with the shit this guy carried on with for pages, and I was only with the company for 3 months! :o

Not a chance. He's a regular over at ADV in the regional forums. The guy is chock full of win. Lots of his antics documented there over the years. Like the time he took that same 250 into the woods w/ some girl on their first date. Not riding fire roads, double track, or anything like that, but blazing new trails deep in national forest. Bike broke down (suprise), they got lost walking out, local forumites and the police had to rescue them.
This is also the same guy that rigged up a pto-operated blender on his bike to make mixed drinks at rallies. There are pics of it in action over at ADV.
By all accounts, he's a great guy in meatspace. He lived down the street from my sister until recently, but I never had the chance to meet him before he moved.
best part... from the forum mod...

How cool to have been there to check it all out?? [thumbsup] [moto] [wine]
WOW that was painful to watch, yet very funny. I just wish he wasnt from VA haha some of us know better
I've got to wonder how much a used 2-into-1 exhaust costs that was made properly versus the time and energy spent mis-guidedly....
Poor dog.
thanks to the OP for a great life.

LMAO more on page 3:
"The cans said "V8" figured if they were good enough for a v8 they're good enough for 550cc's"

So much win. All my favorite bits have been quoted already, but I wanted to post a thanks to the OP for sharing. Holy shit.
you should read his ride/stalking report...

Only do the above if you have an hour to kill and hate yourself...
Damn what a painfully boring read the first 8 paragraphs were...
That dude doesn't need paragraphs
He needs chapters
Okay- I am late to the game on this one.
Are we certain this wasn't done as a joke?
Wow... [bang]
I am beginning to think that all these stories are truly reflective of who he is and what he does. Not that I am an expert, I think he is just as clueless with girls as he is with bikes.
Here's another gem.

Ah, yes. That's the "broke down in the woods on a date" story I was talking about. FWIW, when I had a horse, Reddish Knob is where we always went riding at. Beautiful area.
And here's the PTO blender I was talking about:
How Skippii makes a milkshake without electricity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1DeQkkvJLs#normal)
Dude's definitely wired different upstairs.
I'll agree.
He's out there.
But I like the pto blender.
oh come on the story was interesting, though ih ave to say that the guy should marry that girl, she looks good in the picture and if she put up with that, that is a girl that is a keeper for sure.
he'll show how stupid he really is if he breaks up with her.
Can't see the doc... even logged into my Google account
EDIT: Got it to work... damn, this guy is a 'tard.
An incredible combination of stupid and smart.
This must be some kind of joke right![laugh]
So is this guy Infamous? He needs his own website. I think he could make some serious money.
