"I've put maybe 100 miles on it since I bought it!"

"The rear suspension was replaced with a solid rod to lower the bike, but it rides amazing, better than I could have hoped. suspension can be put back if wanted. Runs great and fast and is a definite head turner."

Yut, a hunert miles will tell you what a wonerful POS you have built and how "AMAZING" it rides.

I like the "Johnny Chimpo" written on the side cover. When I was on Okinawa "chimpo" was used as a slang for the male "member." Ed :laugh:

Other than the unfortunate name choice, the stick up yer stinker suspension and the STD juice all over the bike what is the problem? :huh: :blink:

So where's the cafe inspiration? Cheesy graphics and even cheesier sales pitch seems like any buyer would be left with much the same feeling as a night with one of those hookers; a painful burning or itching in a very uncomfortable spot. Bike fits the area though. Whiskey Tango capitol of Kansas.

i'm not shooting the guy down different storkes for different folks but i can say this those stupid slogans and rightous bro sayings have got to go. in over thirty years of riding and building bikes i have never felt the need to create a theme or name one of my bikes except for the "slut" called that because everyone rode her. one of my old drag bikes. but never any official names. i figured what was the point they don't come when called anyway.

I don't disagree. Over the years I heard that "Life is too short of stock bikes" and all that as well as "Make it your own". Of course, when someone does make it their own, they generally limit the bike's appeal to others.
and im not pointing fingers but if you dont find at least one of those girls attractive your a damn fag!

They're all cute and quite young to be sure. The near one would be a complete knockout IMO except for the tattoos, that just turns me off. The middle one looks like a girl next door or the farmer's daughter. Take yer pick. The far one got a bit too wild with the mascara brush. :silly:
