Puulaahi — October 24, 2008 @ 4:05 pm

Nice ride.

WaltherKid — October 24, 2008 @ 4:10 pm

Sweet, my post is up.

@Nate - The black T-top really hides em.
She is built pretty well for being 19.

Vent — October 24, 2008 @ 4:11 pm

Nice ride. The bike’s cool too.

Special Kail — October 24, 2008 @ 4:20 pm

I don’t know what’s uglier, the bike, the girl, or the jacket.

Since when does a black tanktop hide boobs???

FAIL.

natedog — October 24, 2008 @ 4:21 pm

walther, i’m gonna have to go ahead and verify that.

have her stop by my house this evening and i’ll examine the goods to see if there are adequate levels of boobage

mintymadness — October 24, 2008 @ 4:24 pm

Nate wouldn’t know what to do with boobs if he had a set of instructions and a mission statement.

WaltherKid — October 24, 2008 @ 4:31 pm

@Nate - Perhaps on a good day I can post images of her that have “more attention” to detail!

@Special Ed - your getting voted off the island

slickrick — October 24, 2008 @ 4:36 pm

Brown leather on a black bike? ixnay!

Special Kail — October 24, 2008 @ 4:37 pm

I’m sorry I didn’t realize we were on Survivor: Douchebag. I guess you win, and are the douchebag.

garbledxmission — October 24, 2008 @ 4:41 pm

Pics of boobs or they didn’t happen.

dieAntagonista — October 24, 2008 @ 4:48 pm

The machine looks dope, I guess the woman as well, but the jacket?

Wouldn’t wear it if you paid me.

jnboado — October 24, 2008 @ 4:49 pm

Say thats a nice bike

Does it come in Black?

Special Kail — October 24, 2008 @ 4:50 pm

@garbledxmission: I believe you mean, “tits or GTFO!” lulz

RSIxidor — October 24, 2008 @ 4:56 pm

@Special Kail:
Pics or it didn’t happen is also a perfectly acceptable annoying internet meme.

RSIxidor — October 24, 2008 @ 4:57 pm

Also, the boobs like fine to me.

nyokki — October 24, 2008 @ 5:33 pm

@dieAntagonista: I kinda like the jacket. I’d have to see it on me of course, so (Walther) you can just go ahead and send it to me.

Flappycunt — October 24, 2008 @ 5:45 pm

Your bike is awsome- and more well built then a harley. I think you’ll be surprised after riding it for awhile- it has much more comfort and balls then a harley. all i’m saying- take a few test drives befor you buy new harley. The older fat boy is my fav.

WaltherKid — October 24, 2008 @ 5:53 pm

@Flappy - Thanks. My bike was mistaken for a fatboy twice from the front, due to the forks looking similar. A friend of mine just got a new speedster and I have not had a chance to test it, but I have an extra 300cc’s on him. I’m almost at 2000 miles on this bike. The only prior issue was the stock pipes were extremely quiet so other drivers weren’t aware of my presence. I recently installed a set of Cobra pipes; it really gave the bike a voice. Sorry neighbors, loud pipes save lives.

Flappycunt — October 24, 2008 @ 6:01 pm

@WaltherKid: Save lives- True. Cobras are good. I hav them on my Honda shadow. Im about to sell some screaming eagles on ebay that somebody dumped in the trash. a free $100 for me.

dieAntagonista — October 24, 2008 @ 6:40 pm

@nyokki: I like the colour, but other than that, it looks so big. And the pocket doesn’t look very practical. You’d have to grab your own boobs every time you’d want to put something in.

WaltherKid — October 24, 2008 @ 7:32 pm

@dieAntagonista - It may actually be a mens jacket. I do not know the exact size, it has no tags. Again, it was made in Argentina and then DHL’d up to me in a bin of random leathers and furs. The family makes and sells them in Argentina and I believe France, but no outlets in the USA. I prefer the foxes, rabbits and chinchilla’s lead a happy life, but I’m sure the full length fur coats included in the shipment would fetch a high price in a stable economy up here.

dieAntagonista — October 24, 2008 @ 8:23 pm

@WaltherKid: Ah I see. Ok then it looks pretty decent I guess.
Well people gotta earn their money somehow right.

mimic — October 24, 2008 @ 11:19 pm

@WaltherKid

Loud pipes save lives? Yeah, thats why you bought them I am sure.. nothing to do with the image or being cool or anything.

Do you have a fluro yellow helmet or ride in hiz-viz gear? That might save your life too and it wont annoy innocent people sitting in their houses who pose no threat to you at all. I bet you dont do that though.

As you say, sorry neighbors… they get to suffer because you choose to ride a bike and then pretend making it louder is a safety feature.

What a joke.

I’ve nothing against bikes - I’ve had a lot over the years. But I dont like loud bikes because its just completely rude to disturb the peace of others unnecessarily. And I especially don’t like people who try to disguise their selfishness as a safety feature.

mimic — October 24, 2008 @ 11:27 pm

@WaltherKid:

^ Sorry - @Flappy

outofocus — October 25, 2008 @ 12:36 am

The idea that loud pipes save lives is sheer ignorance. The only time people can hear loud pipes that are approaching them from behind is when they’re basically stopped. On the freeway or surface streets, while in motion, you can not hear them until the bike is almost besides you… and then it’s blasting your ear drums while they’re in front of you.

Smart riding saves lives. If we educated our drivers more before giving them licenses, that might also save some lives.

(i HATE HATE HATE the loud pipe saves lives claim… fucking pisses me off…)

Beyond all that, congrats on the bike.

I wouldn’t want to crash in that jacket.

Several people make the points very well on that page (so i can be lazy and don’t have to type them).

Flappycunt — October 25, 2008 @ 1:47 am

@outofocus: @mimic:
How many years you been riding? yep..
so hey guys.. FUCK YOU!

mimic — October 25, 2008 @ 3:06 am

@Flappycunt:

25 years here. So try and apply some logic instead of being so dismissive.

WaltherKid — October 25, 2008 @ 11:32 am

@ Anyone regarding the pipes

I definitely did get the pipes for the safety aspect and not for the sound. On more than one occasion a car has merged into be because the driver did not look and did not hear. One was even a cop! (which would be ironic, the last cop to hit me back in 2002 paid for my truck and my house and this bike etc.) Since the installation of the pipes I have had no issues. Approaching cars from the side, they actually slide over to give me room. I’m not sure how laws are in other states but in CA it’s legal to share a lane with a vehicle so in many cases if they hear you they will slide over for you.

@mimic - I do have hi-viz gear, but it doesn’t help when the drivers don’t look before they leap. And as far as the “sorry neighbor” comment, it was more of a joke. I have conversed with them as many have bikes as well. I’ve had no complaints, only positive comments. It seems pretty loud to me since I’m sitting directly on the bike. I let a buddy take it up and down my street yesterday, sounds great. Being heard does get the attention of SoCal drivers. If you have a bike down here, your going to need it.

mimic — October 25, 2008 @ 11:44 am

@WaltherKid:

Hmmm, well I still don’t buy the safety feature argument. But you’ve provided a reasonable and polite defense so fair play to you.

WaltherKid — October 25, 2008 @ 9:40 pm

@mimic - Thanks. I will continue to remain courteous to other motorists and my neighbors. In the “just in case” factor, since I live at the bottom of a hill I can and will cut the engine leaving the main street and entering mine getting in after hours. I can coast in and the headlight remains on. Happy Oktoberfest and Halloween everyone.

Special Kail — October 22, 2008 @ 9:01 pm

um… where does the engine go?

flood123 — October 22, 2008 @ 9:04 pm

Does this thing have disc brakes and a cranck shaft ? This think is wicked.I wonder what kind of tassels and bell for the handle bars this thing has

SumoSnipe — October 22, 2008 @ 9:20 pm

@ Special Kail: on the seat! hmm. my eyes fail, I’ve been reading your handle as Special Kali…
No, not shaft driven, can see chain on far side. Looks tough enough for the rubble and potholes they call paved roads around here.

flood123 — October 22, 2008 @ 10:05 pm

thanks for pointing that out. I didnt see first time around . Looks pretty sweet.

inan — October 22, 2008 @ 11:21 pm

what the hell is it?

I’d be interested to see more than just a picture.

etiii — October 23, 2008 @ 12:16 am

The rear wheel has a floating shock absorbing setup. Yes, it does have disk brakes front and rear. I would also love to find the name or Company.

tmpa — October 23, 2008 @ 2:30 am

Looks like a Brooklyn Machineworks http://www.brooklynmachineworks.com/

gudis — October 23, 2008 @ 2:53 am

$3300 just for the frame, ouch.

casemods — October 23, 2008 @ 3:29 am

This guy at my school had a $7,000 +/- bike made by hellsworth. He said that he bought it after a settlement.

casemods — October 23, 2008 @ 3:30 am

Hmm google suggests that it’s actually ‘ellsworth’

He must have added the H

flex — October 23, 2008 @ 5:09 am

Nom nom nom. That is a kick-ass downhill bike. 26″ real wheel with 24″ up front.
203mm front rotor and what look like Hope calipers front and back (?) - last years Fox RC2 forks (8″ travel) ..and obviously the in-frame gearbox. Hawt.

Do want!

dekay46 — August 12, 2008 @ 1:16 pm

Gorgeous picture. I love Suzuki. Might have something to do with the Wes Cooley Replica GS1000S my dad’s had my whole life.

GIXXER FTW!

outofocus — August 12, 2008 @ 5:22 pm

The last few years of GSXRs have been great.

I had a 99′ SRAD GSXR which I hated. I put about 5k miles on it and sold it. I don’t know that it was the bike itself as that my prior bike had been a vtwin so going to a 600cc engine with minimal torque along with some compression issues was just a difficult adjustment.
