    Bobber as in, I was bored!

    Hi. My dad once bought another bike when i was eight. a big bike with radio and a big windshield, big seat. Ye, you all know how a GS1000G 83 looks like.

    we Went on alot of long Cruises threw europe, with me allmost falling asleep at the back, him holding me so i wouldnt end up in the ditch. then he sold it!


    few years later he got hold of Another one. but by then i was to old to ride with him. he found it in a woodshed been standing there alone for 7 years, bought it and made it work. and then it never got used. he bought other bikes, and needed the space. so i bought it cheap. less then the front tyre rly.
    But i was still Young and didnt wanna ride this big bike. and restless as i am. i had a small plan. makin a cheap makeover.

    hmm cant upload more then one image in this post so to be continued in the next post

            It's called "Bondo". Good luck with everything.

                    I'm sorry, they just look so ridiculous with the ass end chopped off. Like your mom bought you a tricycle with no rear tires. Idiotic.

                      I think there are certain bikes that accept that treatment better than others. Like a V-twin.

                          Do they let you ride a bike with open exhaust in Sweden?

                              Would have been good if his chainsaw wouldn't have run.
