Bulldock and Sanctuary... When money is no object.

thats dave back in high school! :woohoo:

I am glad to see such high end customs, updated/retro machines. However OCC Jesse James, Titan etc.. made their fortunes turning v Twins into the mainstream yuppy wanna own Bike that anyone with fat wallet can own. I am way more impressed with what I have seen the people on this sight doing. indiviual extensions of the rider, complete restos, Bobbers, choppers, hand crafted with the help of friends and local gurus says alot about who you are. and it says even more about the guys who cut a check for someone else to build them a cookie cutter custom. jus my .02

I have to agree with ramtough, I'm really digging Larry c's, dave's, porsche's, mark's, and josh's rides even though they are pretty much the exact opposite of mine. The next one I build will be a big blocked streetfighter for sure, right after I go 1197 on my current bike. :evil:

it would be a pretty boring world if we all liked cool sh!t !

Now thats frickin funny

I personally think the Sanctuary bikes are incredible. They make a bike that is exactly what a KZ1000 or Z1 would look like if it was made today. The ZRX was nice and all, but these bikes are exactly what a modern Zed should be. I plan to base my next KZ650 on the Sanctuary pattern.

I like some, but not all, of the mods done on these. I do like the use of modern components ( Ohlins are more than whats needed in my opinion ) any modern factory components are more than the chassis can handle anyway.

Those fiberglass tails are HIDEOUS at best, the lines dont flow at all. Ditch that and use a REAL seat and they would be far nicer.

$2800 for an exhaust is rediculous, for the few HP it might make over a $400-500 exhaust is not worth the money to me.

The Sactuary bikes are far nicer than the Bulldock builds. The Sanctuary bikes flow MUCH better.

Tri - where'd you find your Supertrapp? I've been trying to locate one myself.

oh those old things....you wont want one of those.....they wont turn rainbow colors...we all know a rainbow pipe is what omr wants to make nice and straight for wiremans exhaust hole...they talk on the phone at night for hours in their underwear about exhaust holes and pipes...they might even go into business together soon .....


those old supetrapps are not titanium and only fetch about 325.00 ding free and in perfect shape....8 can of flat black but it is on deck for a full dip soon,,,,,,

oh i bought it here in the u.s too....

Go Marco

I wouldnt touch one of those bikes with a bargepole.
Because I'd be so worried about spoiling its good looks by dropping it I wouldnt see the 18 yr old F1 wannabee approaching thru a quantum hole. :kiss:
Anyway. My apologies to whoosevers machine it is but I saw it was either a 900 or a 1000 in the gallery here that just blew me away,just perfect. And I;m a picky *******!!!
Point is...these machines are part of history,and glamming them up may work for some but spoils the purity of that moment frozen in time when you first see one as is from the dealer.In my estimation an improvement is farcical and unneccessary,they're just fine as they always were.
But what do I know.
I remember commenting on that beautifull machine.
Thats what I know.Nothing else matters.

!!! I am only posting my junk bike pics and poking fun because it is not what you pay for bikes-ice cream-hotels with a view-great beater cars- sunglasses... always that makes em good...sometimes it is what you didnt pay that makes em so good....and even the very best stuff back in the day cant stand up to todays items ...be it sunglasses, gortex,celll phones, or oil cooler fittings and titanium screws.....still

it aint the cost or material the sunglasses are made of...it is whether or not they are "right" right can be found laying in a ditch.....there once was a bike that could go as fast as roads in the 80's (same roads ) could be driven...in style...

both the new stuff and the old stuff will go plenty fast on the roads i can find....plenty fast...

and both are 100% different bikes for sure....but i aint gonna ride a 25000 dollar bike like i stole it....like i ride mine muthas... :woohoo: ... :evil:

the pics i posted were beaters built here by an idiot...i am no sanctuary...hell i aint even got no one to ride with....but my bike...looks like a cali bike...i know that....alone or not...cause it is here...and those bikes..........................are not


these...are gone too for the most part...but there was a time... when bikes got built in barns and did not need brakes or reserves..or idiot lights...keys....
