I would ride it, and spin out the rear going over some vomit ;D
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Now if that had about a 130 rear tire with a skinnier tank and seat to match... [evil]

'Bobber style usually brings about the characteristics of: small gas tank, tall narrow tires, lots of frame, engine exposure, small tractor-style seat and rear tapering off to the ground.

Here is a concept (someone elses) of a BSA but intermixed with Ducati USD forks, disc brake, 10-spoke S4RS rims, etc. (anyone want one built with a Ducati Bevel v-twin perhaps?)

(note: one of the coolest BSA based 'bobbers was pictured along with Stuarts bike awhile back -- maybe the new owner as he likes this style or is Stuart building something else in his garage...)

That's hawt!   [evil]


I like bobbers.  They don't really look fast (and I don't care if they go fast), they just look like something to cruise around on and bring smiles to people's faces.

Looks good to me, the difference between the tyres is ridiculous... but I'd ride it!  ;D

It's an R6.  I kinda like it..........I would never turn an R6 into that, but still, it's kinda cool.

I believe it changed hands a couple of times for a lot less money than Stu put into it.
