I'm bloody impressed, it's not finished, but hell what a great custom job

I don't get it. What's the point of all that?

Theo

 

At a guess he'll gain a couple of horsepower and a lot of
unreliability.

He should just buy himself an R1, eh? ;-)


BTH

 

You beat me to it.. if he wanted an unreliable hunk of shit, he could
have bought anything from Italy in red.

 

<sigh> Philistine.

JL
Modification is worthwhile in and of itself.

 

Trial run for a 1700cc V4 made up of two TRX top ends?

 

It is? And I knew Phyllis quite well, but not in the biblical sense.

Theo

 

Damn ! Now there's an idea !!

JL

 

Hell yeah, I've never owned a bike (or car) that didn't needed
something about it changed.

Bummer ?

JL

 

Clearly you have too much money. I'll be happy to help you resolve
that problem. ;-)


BTH

 

Oh good - I need someone to come over and help me fit the carbon front
guard and nose cone. When should I expect you ?

JL

 

A gentleman never tells!


GB, thank goodness it's theo, and not a gentleman!

 

Those would be for anti-knee and anti-punch protection then? ;-)


BTH

 

The owner?

I confess, I modified my new ute. The front of the tray had a couple
of horizontal bars behind the cab, one of which was right in the
middle of my rear view. So I got out the hacksaw.

No modificatons to the Norge either.

I met Robbie a couple of times.

I have a serious man-crush on Robbie Phillis.
He's man of few words.... and most of them unprintable!

 

But he is so eloquent, even without words! I love him too, Clem - his recent
off at PI, and his fabulous sign-language in the gravel.... <shiver> Wotta
bloke!

betty

 

;-) perhaps

So there ya go, that's one.

No heated grips, aftermarket luggage, cruise control for doing the
nullabor ?

Never changed the stereo in your car ? I mean c'mon, nothing leaves the
factory perfect. The only plus is nowadays if you buy expensive cars you
get to customise/modfy them at the factory before taking delivery
instead of having to do it after you get them home (BMW and MB love this
one). They don't really offer the same range of options from the factory
with bikes in most cases.

JL
(although both HD and Ducati are pretty good at it)

 

You get at least the first two in that list factory fitted.

Option or standard ?

JL
I'm still counting ticking the options list as modification
