I had a pic of a soft tail with a beautiful woman on it. It surely would have helped redirect the daggers (ribbing) going on.

Yeah, you would think people have better sense than to muck it up outside of the Vortex, but what can you do if your not a moderator.

Ed, it looks like her bum is so bruised that all we can say is, "Orange you glad you don't ride a hardtail?"
 
Rick/Pilot,

I like the way you both use British terms (muck it up) (bum). No reason to use the other word that hampshirehog references when he pulls the BS flag...Lol.

And that's a soft tail, Pilot.

Merry Christmas fellas.

Well to tell the truth it was a way not to us the F word. I don't like it when people just throw the F Bomb around all the time. It tends to loose the severity of it's meaning when it needs to be used. Not that it ever really needs to be used, but I think you'll get my meaning. I love a good give and take, but this kind of behavior doesn't need to be in the part of the forum where people go to get help. Like momma always said, "I you ain't got nuttin nice to say then shut the muk up!"

My mother doesn't really talk like that.:D
 
gsrick, thanks for your reply. Thanks for the link to the video, sadly this one i have has the rear already hacked up so i ordered the tcbros universal. I stripped it down to the frame over the weekend to clean it up, 34 years of splicing into the wiring, broken grounds, ect. I need to replace the brake lines, wheel bearings, pads, rebuild the carb and replace the tank. This bike has had years of jimmy rigged repairs so im starting from the ground up.
 
not much gayer than a hard tail, for those that like it hard in the rear end, i guess. herp derp

Did my comment irritate you? Maybe I see something different than you do, here is the bike as it looked at the time of pick up. It looks pretty gay to me.

I wouldn't own a hardtail myself. But, that particular bike would look better as a hardtail. Could be fun for some short rides.

I've examined the soft tail on that very closely, and it's surely a fake hard tail? If the rider is in need of a proper hard tail, I suspect she'd have no problem finding one.

So you picked up a pile of cr@p and decided to run with it. At least you didn't start with a nice pristine example. Seems to me like you've got nothing to loose. Go for it. Just don't like the open pipes idea. Makes us all look bad. Maybe cut them down and put on a shorty muffler to make it tolerable.

That's not a BAD looking hard tail...Of course, I was eye-balling the Kawasaki in the back too.

This dislike of your style bike is tripping me out. If I rode a bike like that, it would definitely be for short rides. I'd crash a party like those Riders did in "Wierd Science" and wreck some wood floors! Lol

Back to your bike...I'm kinda starting to like it but you'd have to "doll it up" a bit and put a spring and some cushion on that seat. Heck, I'm not riding it...What do I care? Make something of it and start a thread with "disclaimer" in the title: Negative Responses Not Required".


Ed

Seriously...I would ride it with a positive intent. If it didn't agree with my ergonomics (or whatever it's called-- the riding position) then I would not own it for long.

LOL, I don't think that any of my gay friends would be caught dead on that. Pretty sure they'd label it "half-blind hetero". :)

I have the non-cleaned up pic posted somewhere. You can examine the seat more...If you like?

Reference: Hard Tail motorcycles

The one I posted was cleaned up because I spray painted the model's bum with orange paint...your joke referenced it. The non-cleaned up one would be the one you could see her thong. That's the one Grimly would enjoy.

Come on now, im not pointing out the bikes sexual preference. I use the word "gay" very loosely as I do not participate in PC America. Gay people are just people to me.

My daughter uses that word to mean: Lame.

I grew up in the 80s and used it once I got bold from saying, "sissy" to my neighborhood friends.
