Actually, I think those might be Ichiban electrical-grade zip ties. If he used those throughout the build it's going to get a little pricey, but it's worth the UL rating.

When I first saw the picture I thought, "hey that's not a bad little fixer upper, it looks like some of the work has been done already...probably under a grand". $4250??? When your seat looks like somebody's first homemade upholstery job, you probably shouldn't brag that it's the most...

"the seed been chopped down 6 inches" ;D ;D ;D

Depends on what "as is" means, but that term is rarely used for bragging.

"it was gonna paint it army green like a bobber" is one of those statements that has the structure of a sentence but is so inscrutable that it will keep rolling around in your brain until your head explodes. What was the "it" that was doing the painting? Does he think that all bobbers are...

Your confusing worth with value. Value is speculative. Worth is determined by a cost paid. Also see "worth to me", as in "That's what the bike is worth to me, but since no one else values my many hours spent tinkering or my decision to spend $2500 on a mechanic, I guess I will have to adjust...

Nothing wrong with that as long as you know it.

Hey, real question. This ad claims "matching numbers" but it also has a custom one-off frame. What numbers are they talking about? Why would anybody care about matching numbers on a bike that is as far from stock as it can be? What am I missing?

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. You said it better. Bacardi and Banzai http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/mcy/5264792570.html

Truth. One caveat though...the process can be made much easier or much more of a hassle just depending on the mood your particular DMV contact is in that day. I'm surprised at the arbitrary decisions I've witnessed at the DMV... ...most of them in my favor because I'm sooooooo sweet.

No data, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't true. That's kind of how motor oil production works. I worked at the Chevron Refinery in Richmond California for a decade and most of the motor oil sold west of the Rockies was produced there and sold under pretty much any label. Sometimes the final...

I was into not having a front brake looooong before it wasn't stupid. You wouldn't get it.

He finally cracked the code on how to reduce clearance to the optimal 1 inch on the back tire. Any bump big enough to bottom out the back end will have already killed you before the back tire ever sees it. That's some undeniable brilliance. You payin' attention Ichibon?

...and they say there's nothing new under the sun. Crappy pics, but... http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/4982685308.html

I know RDs are highly appreciated, but if he gets more than half his asking price I'm going to be pretty bummed out. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/mcy/4987008156.html

Anybody want Richard Hammond's Triton? http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/22720/lot/336/

It sounds like he's willing to go under 10K... http://sacramento.craigslist.org/mcy/4951092444.html

I recently had a friend help me out that used to specialize in paint-less dent removal. Apparently they don't love doing motorcycle tanks because usually they're used to having better access, but it took him a little over an hour and I was AMAZED. No touch-up, no repainting and the tank was...

I don't think enough was said about this. I see crappy bikes on this thread daily, but honest to God, I've never seen anything like this. I can't even get mad about it. I'm just dumbfounded.
