Interesting like a Brutale 800, with an old skool theme.

That motor is a wild pregnant dog. [evil]

This is Fat Bob's...naked. Belongs to a good friend of mine that hasn't figured out how to get on the forum...or post pics.

This is the bike that I rode out in Michigan when my SBK was ailing this summer. 800 motor, flatslides ported by Bruce Meyers, built by the vet and Bob, the owner...and 323 lbs wet with the fairings on. There's likely 5K worth of Ti on this bike. You really have to look closely to see all the little details, and you only have to think about turning, and it happens. If the bike was mine the only thing I'd do is put some friggin brakes on it...that ought to piss Bob off. ;D

Hopefully he'll send a pic of it dressed. The logo is great.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

That is a mighty nice bike. 

On a different note, I saw one of these yesterday while on a bicycle ride.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Funny, I just noticed that the kickstarter has to swing out & around the shift lever & the foot peg.  You have to kick that thing over & hope you don't stab the rearset or the shifter while you're doing that. 

Truly beautiful though ......... both the above bikes.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Gotcha  [thumbsup] 

By God, that 750 sure puts that Harley noise to shame.   I remember the days quite well where if you couldn't kick start it then you didn't ride it.  ;D  [laugh]  [evil]

( But now, of course, I sure am glad I don't have to kickstart a 1290 SuperDuke or Ducati Superbike )
