    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Bobber as in, I was bored!

Hi. My dad once bought another bike when i was eight. a big bike with radio and a big windshield, big seat. Ye, you all know how a GS1000G 83 looks like.

we Went on alot of long Cruises threw europe, with me allmost falling asleep at the back, him holding me so i wouldnt end up in the ditch. then he sold it!


few years later he got hold of Another one. but by then i was to old to ride with him. he found it in a woodshed been standing there alone for 7 years, bought it and made it work. and then it never got used. he bought other bikes, and needed the space. so i bought it cheap. less then the front tyre rly.
But i was still Young and didnt wanna ride this big bike. and restless as i am. i had a small plan. makin a cheap makeover.

hmm cant upload more then one image in this post so to be continued in the next post

After new saddle, lowered 2 inch, homemade back fender, gasmask bags to cover the Electric small details and got rid of Everything i didnt need.including polish off all chrome it came out like this.
Im still bored with it cause i cant make it run as i please. but il give it a few more years.
 
I'm sorry, they just look so ridiculous with the ass end chopped off. Like your mom bought you a tricycle with no rear tires. Idiotic.
 
I think there are certain bikes that accept that treatment better than others. Like a V-twin.
 
Do they let you ride a bike with open exhaust in Sweden?

that's really weird that it won't run.....
 
You were bored? Like suicidal? So you destroyed a cool bike…meh
How long could a person ride a bike like that anyway?
That old full fairing was really cool, way better than a Windjammer.

You may as well have cut the bike completely in half.

It's that bad!

The next time you get bored, cut your HANDS off!
