i dont care if it looks like doo doo as longs as it sorta cheap and fun

Re: HMC
 

It's no fun going around asking how to do something. Just go out and be a originator. :6

Re: HMC
 

already know you, all that is required.

Re: HMC
 

ya im trying to figure out a good bike to start with, i was thinkin about making a crappy chopper out of an older jap bike. im not the originator of this idea anyways ive seen a few

otherwise ive seen rolling chassis on ebay and other places i might sell my other bike to fund that. ive heard you can take the motors out of crashed harleys n ---- cause those engines and trannys aint cheap for customs

Re: HMC
 

I've heard that theres a motorcycle junk yard in rosemount, that'd be a good place to start.

Re: HMC
 

i got sidetracked in my searching when i found this sweet piece of ----

Re: HMC
 

or he just stole that from teh grocey store and theres some guy with bike shorts on standing there with his front tire

Re: HMC
 

I dont see how people ride chopers/cruisers id get bored too fast riding one of those :-\

Re: HMC
 

I hate choppers with a passion. I don't understand the culture our point of riding something that can't perfom.
And all the leather those guys wear. ever since I was a little kid and saw that police acadamy movie where they send the other guys to the gay biker bar..Harley guys and chopper riders all just look like fags to me.

give me a cbr or a gsxr.

Re: HMC
 

i have a cbr, but going really fast, doing wheelies, turning hard fast, and looking really cool gets kinda stale after a while too. but just for a little bit :6

i like motorized bikes, id have cruisers motards dirtbikes all that if i was ballin. i want somthing i can ride a ways on without getting soar wrists and get out of the assrape position for a while

maybe ill just get one of this bad mothers

Re: HMC
 

maybe, maybe not. Neither are my style. I prefer the stripped cafe look. I've got a '75 CB360 that I'm cafe'ing. No more fenders, starter, turn signals, or body work, chopped frame, raised rear suspension, and clip-ons. Right now it still has a front disk brake, but I'll be ditching that for a drum to get rid of the master cylinder, it's big and ugly.

Re: HMC
 

---- yes!

Re: HMC
 

more info please!!!!!!!!!!!! O0

Re: HMC
 

Honda Ruckus...i think

Re: HMC
 

---- the Ruckus... Big Ruckus FTW!

Actually, not really. At 250cc it weighs more than a Ninja 250 and puts out less power. Worthless.

Re: HMC
 

ruckus's are slow, even by scooter standards. I think it's because they don't have v-tech. Would be fun to get one and somehow wedge in a XR650R engine or similar though. Engine weighs ~90lbs, makes 55hp.

Re: HMC
 

Check out the horse magazine , I know quite a few people into this sort of thing and i'm looking at building my own here soon, my bike is to the point where I want it almost and I'm ready to build something old and ratty. Look at the old yamaha 650 inline twins. You can just modify the stock frame, or make bolt in struts to drop the back end, and if you want to lowere the front end alot of bikes you can just loosen the clamps on the tripple tree and push the forks down. I should post pics of my dads old 72 iron head sportster that we've been working on. That is another cheap option as well iron heads can be had for pretty f'n cheap.

Re: HMC
 

ratty is what im going for.

Re: HMC
 

Thats pretty badass.. I've been wanting to build one for awhile.

Re: HMC
 

I think your talking about posers, the guys that I hang out with that ride real choppers don't really wear leather unless if its cold. Thats the only time I wear it. I think that most sport bike guys look like power rangers when they wear all that gear.( I don't hate sportbikes) You'd be surprised how fast some of the choppers are. in a straight line atleast. ------- iron horse, big dog, etc. are'nt real choppers those are production bikes that some lawyer pays $60,000 for to ride to a bike night once a week. I don't know if you ride or not but once you get on a comfy cruiser you'd understand why people ride them, I rode my dads 07 streetglide the other day and now I want one. Its like riding a cadilac. I happen to love real choppers but to each their own.

Re: HMC
 

wipe outs and rash < wearing leather / power ranger gear

Re: HMC
 

i saw a guy today on a ninja 500 layed down on the tank under the windshield with his back feet on the passenger pegs.

what a wierdo

Re: HMC
 

I know the point of it, a few of the guys I ride with won't ride without the gear, its a good idea but I like be comfterable. Its just my personal choice to ride without it, I do alwasy wear a helmet though. i went down before and it hurt like hell, I was wearing a leather jacket, but my knees took the impact. I was only going about 15mph on my dads 72 sportster it sucked majorly.

Re: HMC
 

I did that once during my 12+ hour ride across ontario on my Ninja 636. ---- my ass, wrists and back hurt after that one. I was wishing I had a cruiser.

Re: HMC
 

dude that green one is bad ass

Re: HMC
 

bigluelok, do you wait for a thread to pretty much die and then make a useless comment as a sort of kiss of death, to seal the deal?

Re: HMC
 

quit being a douche, obviously you didn't see the green one ::)

Re: HMC
 

It's a good way to boost your post count.

not like i'd know

edit:
