I wear work boots too. I WORK in them.
I also lace them the fuck up!

So what's the deal with the chunky dual sport tires on cafe/trackers builds?

More style than substance from dedicated followers of fashion. "what's the deal with the chunky dual sport tires on cafe/trackers" - especially with no front or rear guards! You're going to get crap all over the engine and right up your back - unless you're riding on the carpet. And a narrower front tire will turn in a lot better.

No front fender I think is laziness or lacking the ability to fab a stylish front fender. Some people aren't aware that vintage front fenders were often doubling as a fork brace. Some even had plates of fairly thick steel underneath the fender to simulate this.

LOL, That was some funny stuff!
Yeah, but on the other hand I'm not planning on jumping this thing. It's a dual-sport. Some pavement, some gravel roads, and perhaps the odd trail through the woods. So I think the GSXR front end will do me well. It's going up to the cottage, and I'll run the odd errand on it along the highway and go for the odd hours-long scoot on the backroads.

I've seen that before. Looks like a big lead turd.

between 8.30 and half past eight works well for me
I`mounting up dualsports on my gs 400 with gsxr forks and Konis in the rear,just because i live in the fucking forest, and i have to ride 15 minutes on gravel just to see people....LOL
Anyways the gravel roads are good with allmost no potholes.
Using standard dimentions on both...
I`m sure this will be a better option for me,i ride 60% gravel and 40% on asphalt!

HiWB is too funny. Reminds me of early BSNYC before he became famous. I too may have to adopt a disinterested urban edginess, these works boots make it difficult to shift my pre-unit Triumph.
Alpha Dog if it were the perfect analogy (and it was) you wouldn't have to say so.
What is funny tires for me is the cafe-ish bike with the Flintstone tires. A little too self conscious.
Cheer, 50gary

No to go on another tangent, but is anyone else tired of seeing these skinny ass seats? I will admit they look streamline, but I'm really starting to become more drawn to the thicker seats, like the old triumph scramblers of the 60's and 70's. The more I ride, the more I start to appreciate an aesthetic that compliments the function of the bike...
As a disclaimer I love totally impractical 70's style choppers and I know they serve little function and tons of form lol. I guess it really is different strokes for different folks, but I feel like the skinny seat is a real fad.
