Tim Allen's Monster on ebay

[duc996]

I like the way it looks...mean! the one thing i just can't get use to is the swingarm.The windscreen is def cool looking.s4r rules!!!

[ghostface]

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...

Yeah I wasn't diggin it either. It was the band aid like plate. It might have been cool it if was powdercoated tho.

Oh, and did anyone mention that Tim Allen only put 1,300 miles on this motor? Punk.

Oh, and did anyone mention that Tim Allen only put 1,300 miles on this motor? Punk. 

if i remember correctly, this wasn't the only bike in his stable.

actually i made the comment about the swingarm. mainly for aesthetic reasons. i also questions whether the 999 swingarm at the time was stronger.
my point was if funtion over form was what this bike was about then why not go to a strong light DSS.
but i will say that i in no way meant any offense to the builder or the fabricators. you all... everyone on this site are my heroes.
tearing apart my bike now, i see so many places to change, improve or eliminate but don't have your skills to do that. so..  to you all. RetroSBK, Stew, Monster... all of you that take your time to come and help us (those without the skills) learn something.

[Bun-bun]

Wow!
I never thought this would stir up so much controversy.
I saw the bike on Ebay, and thought it would be of interest to other members.
Guess I was right.

I like the bike, I think it looks good.

To everyone that doesn't like the builder or his work,


You can rip on him when you get your bikes published in magazines or build one for a celebrity.


I like retro's work. I also like others work on this board. To each their own on styling.

[Big Troubled Bear]

I like the bike a lot

[ghostface]

if i remember correctly, this wasn't the only bike in his stable.

yeah but 1,300 miles? That ain't shizz...

[causeofkaos]

the biggest problem with Tim Allens bike is the zip ties arent evenly spaced..

[metallimonster]

I also like this bike a lot and most but not all of his other bikes.   I generally appreciate anyone's custom bikes just because they are all different and took a lot more creativity and skill than I will ever have.

I'm actually a fan of the zip-ties along with stock blinkers and a few other things most people change.  To me a Monster should be just that- a Monster.  Something that looks mean, raw, and mechanical.  The zip ties remind me of Frankenstiens stitches. 

[NorDog]

I like the wheels, a lot.

[RetroSBK]

Guys, in all fairness to Tim, He has a lot on his plate, and a lot of bikes in his stable..

CBR1k, CBR600, couple of harleys, a Streetfighter being built, and about 30 of the coolest cars ever, including TWO Moal cars.

King, Im suprised you didnt like Tim, on set he has always been very nice to me... At the shop... well...

I don't know if Tim the Tool-man is a "Monster" fan or just likes bikes in general. After all, he is selling the bike. If I had a custom Monster built for me I would not be selling it. Somehow I doubt Timmy was out in them local canyons dragging knee, using the suspension the way it was meant to be used.

When looking at this bike we all see $$$$. We all see what we could have done with our own $$$ if it were our bike. Thus we all have our own unique opinions.  One last comment------why not a right side heal guard!!!!  [moto]

can you ask greg what headlight that is on the hellion and GC1000?  i like it. will need one eventually for my bike.

eh... modified Harley V-Rod light it looks like. nevermind. would hate if harley guys around here saw me sporting that...

Will, Thanks for all the great links, I'll check them out in a while when I'm in front of a screen wider than 4in.

As far as Tim goes, He just seemed generally pissed most of the time, kinda seemed like a bit of tension in the air all the time. We all handle stress differently. Martin Lawrence was always happy, like a kid at an amusement park.  I work a movie with Kris Kristopherson once...and only once. I would put him on my top ten biggest assholes on earth list.

As far as Tim's his riding goes, he rides very well. Just because people have a ton 'o $ doesn't mean they don't have multiple mad skills.
