    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

If you didn't like 'flat rat paint'...

This one I like, at least a little imagination went into it before the hacksaw did.
 
truthfully cant see myself riding it around town so would be a show bike for me...dont know what kind of reaction there would be, but im sure there would be a couple of thoughts about it.

NOW THATS CREATIVE! I'd ride it just to see how much attention it would get. Awesome concept.
 
You're all going to be mad jealous when the Zombie Apocalypse happens. Rikusa is going to get all the hardcore, surviving women in leather & tattoos while you'll be stuck in a mall with your stock GS750s. I wouldn't be surprised if his name was Max.
 
i'm guessing for those who didn't like it they won't like this site either.... http://www.urbanxtremebikes.com/ lol - i personally love the individual owners interpretation of what a bike should be and how it's kept going. not everything needs polishing of overpriced oem parts ;)

oh i'm sure it'll get a reaction... unlike the latest plastic fantasic brigade on their cloned super polished hyper pieces of junk.. lol

..... and i'd hope people seeing it would have an opinion too. good bad or indifferent. all about individualism isn't it ;)
 
If you do ride that you need someone on the back seat with a collar and chain like Mad Max II

my sentiments exactly... that other one was just plain ugly and budget. This one is ugly as sin, but it's got character. I like the close up of the zip ties on the fender crack. classic....
