Flagpole? Why? At least yours looked like a bike.

Anything to be different for some. I don't get this "style" either, reminds me of the fugly street fighter tail mods out there.

Only thing missing here is the playing cards clipped to the frame to slap the spokes.

KZ750R1 + 1991 ZR750 = KZR750R1

You must have been one of those rich spoiled kids that had everything. :lol: I had to settle for one of those J C Penny $29 jobs that kind of looked like a Stingray.
