Times are tough and money and toys don't always go in ways that we'd like.
At times of tradegy a good thing may happen,...if you have some imagination and perserverance.

Check out this GSXR bobber built by one of my wifes associates. And it is probably more fun and loads more comfortable for longer rides.



Lets save old, neglected, and orphaned bikes! Especially Valkyries.

I admire his willingness to do something SO different but I can guarantee that taking a razor sharp sportbike and doing THAT to it does not make it more fun. I can also guarantee that it's less comfortable by a mile for any but the most masochistic of individuals.

+1. Much to steep a steering angle to make it anywhere near relaxing. Shocked With the geometry, the seating position, and those handlebars, it'd be pretty twitchy and scary I bet. ???
