Re: CB550 "YOLO"
Ok, so clip-ons are a dead horse, but we like to beat them so that others will learn too.
Name makes a bike my dude. I'm tellin' you, build a bike with the name Yolo and it'll come true. First ride you take on it, well...you only live once. You don't gotta make it a priority, just hit the delete key in your signature a few times and you'll be right as rain.
Haha, I'm givin' you a hard time. If you REALLY do want your bike to be named Yolo because it has some deep meaning to you then I'll shut up, but if this Yolo name was just a spur of the moment thing, I say reconsider. Names are supposed to embody your bike. They're supposed to be the verbal representation of all the late, sweaty nights that you spent turning bolts while all your friends we're "only living once". They are supposed to yank from the dredges of peoples mind a fleeting formation of your all-together unique and totally individual combination of parts that you sanded and polished to either get you closer too, or get you looking better while you hit the blue flower-esque TON. You go up to any salty cafe racer and in all sincerity tell them that your bike is named xYOLOx, you'll be laughed out of the parking lot. They're gonna think you're some punk kid who watched an episode of "Cafe Racer TV" in the waiting room of Jiffy lube while you had your oil changed for you and then went out and bought the first CB750 you could find thinking your self badass/individual and hoping to be the next Ton Up rider. I'm not trying to judge you because I know it was supposed to be a joke, but I am trying to inform you of the connotations that are associated with making a rash decision with a very silly and intrinsically foolish word like Yolo. It's not just a name, it's a representation of you, your riding style, and most importantly your bike. If its dumb (as you say it is) then I'm going to think you and your bike are dumb as well. Think about it. Get back to me.
