Now who the hell thought .... I know let's see if we can make the shape of a motor bike out of our bodies Clever but why When I get all arty I just go round the pub have numerous pints of attitude adjustment and get well bent out of shape

Yeah, your right Lee, the tit is the artist ( I use the term loosely ) .

 
I won't believe it until it has been officially denied.

If you made a bike from my body it would have one big piston

Edit: and a big tank, but that's another story

ART...... is obviously in the eye (or mind) of the "builder" .....

I had to park the Big Bird next to this thing at Jenolan Caves, last week.....

It did start life as a '70's 750 Four... What could u say it has ended life as..??????



Unfortunately (or fortunately ) I didn't see it leave.....

JDee it's actually a 500 or 550 four (engine at least not sure about the tank), quite different to the 750, would have liked to hear it run, regardless of the look it's still going.

I guess I was probably trying not to look too hard... It was a vertical block, so I did think it may have been a 500, but hey, I don't think it made much difference to the overall carnage......

Suppose it was a bit like a car accident.... ya really try not to look, but ya just can't not look....

Over the years with all the talk of different exhausts for the TB, I have often thought about a style like the old 'hot dog' style of the 50's-60's british bikes... BSA Gold Flash for one...

But I think that thought has been smashed now.....
