Tim Allen's Monster on ebay

[zenjim]

I would like to see more parts from Gregg if you guys can send some pics.  I have been blessed to work with some of the big H-D builders, Jesse, Bily Lane Choppers inc., Gene @ Bartel's H-D, Paul @ Exile cycles, Mark Warrick @ Soncy Road. I am now working with Jeff @ PJ's  Ducati doing a bike for UFC fighter Keith Jardine. using a S2R, and his welding skills are as good without a doubt as any I have seen.  Would liked to do something with Stewart in the future...Hint, Hint.

Don't screw up Keith's bike - he's fighting this weekend!

almost all bikes are cool.   cutting through hyperbole isn't difficult;  sometimes not being an ass is.   (I struggle with it too   )

you all know you'd ride this bike in a heartbeat.


(once the hyperbole was hidden away and zipties removed  )

Hell, yes.

RetroSBK...any more pics of the bike for us? Hard to get a good look in the ebay ad. 

[Travman]

The "Eh" is because I'm sick of the hyperbolic language like "bespoke" as though the entire bike was fashioned by hand and formed on an english wheel and welded together.

I get it.  I didn't actually read the bike's description until this evening when I saw this thread had stretched out for a couple of pages.  I just skipped ahead to the pictures.  Also, I was in a hurry and thought the current bidding price was the Buy it Now price.  So it seemed reasonable to me.

Here's a few studio pictures of the bike.  I like the red/black contrast.  I like the dark forks and triples.  I like the wheels.  It would turn my head if I saw it out in town.

Studio pictures = killer

... I would polish the exhaust though

any body got some info on those filters on the tb's??? where can i pick some up?

[ghostface]

Cool bike Will. I read the article in Robbs' Report a few years back. I didn't like a few things about the bike but I like allot of it.

And guys, stop bashing on dude on the net who can kick your ass in person. He was comissioned to build a bike.

I can't be the only one who doesn't like that swingarm.   

I appreciate the increased stiffness, how it was lengthened, and the skill involved to make it, but...

I promise not to ever "screw" up his bike. 
He is ( as strange as this will sound. One of the most peaceful relaxed people I have ever met).

Go figure, right?

I like the zipties and I like a bike to look mechanical, there is beauty in the function of the bike, and the industrial-ness of a bike. I dont WANT my bikes to look like some chopper, with all the wires hidden. I could easily weld some lil bungs on the insides of the frame and "hide" the wires, but they are only hidden from small angles and look kinda lame stuck to the inside of the bike.


Will

Will, I am one of those who mentioned the zipties. You don't need to weld bungs on the inside of the frame rails to hide the wiring. I am about as far from a "builder" as you can get and I hid the majority of the wires on my bike (both this one and my original S2R800) in an afternoon with nothing more than a couple beers and patience. Almost every wire is hidden from all but the most extreme angles. Stu gave me a lot of pointers, he's the master of the hidden wires IMO...

[arai_speed]

I dig the windscreen.  Who makes that?

[redxblack]

I personally like zip ties. There are aesthetics of this bike I don't like, but I wasn't the guy ordering it originally. I can appreciate the work that went into it and I'd certainly ride it. At this point, I wonder how much criticism is of the art and how much of the artist.

i think its funny that everyone is sort of bashing this guy for "arrogance, and such", but you have to rmember he is a businessman that builds bikes, he has to promote his brand.  

talk about arrogance, you can bash him for being arrogant but you have people on this board replying telling him in a sense "no you are not good we are better here, etc" sounds pretty arrogant to me, don't say that people on this board dont'  brag a bit at times too. we all do.

that being said, personally i like some of the features of the bike some i do not like.  mainly for me as everyone knows i hate that a tail chop was done, but hey each to their own and like he said, it was probably client requested, so what can you do?
