What kind of motorcycle do you want around town?

Light weight and wide bars for manoeuvrability
Upright riding position for good vision and to keep the weight off your wrists as slow speeds.
About 40hp from a simple single cylinder motor, for lower weight and better fuel consumption than a multi-cylinder motor.
Only needs about 2 gallon tank, keeps weight and width down while providing all-day range for urban use.
Plenty of grip and good brakes from true road bike equipment, but with enough suspension travel to soak up our unmaintained roads.
Motocross plastic is crash proof, stops a trivial fender bender from turning into an insurance claim.

If you were designing the perfect city motorcycle, you might not end up with one of the current production super motos, but you might be quite close.

In fact, as bikesnobnyc keeps pointing out, for similar reasons we don't need no stinking Dutch bikes when a rigid MTB with Schwalbe SuperMoto Big Apple tyres will do the job better for half the price.

There was me thinking the Honda Cub was the perfect adaption for the city. Tried watching Super Moto once, it was like watching bike Polo. Awkward?

First try mole grips. I bet it'll work.
Then try the slot/screwdriver technique. You dont need a dremel to do this, just a junior hacksaw
Third try the drilling, this will be the hardest for sure, especially with that non-level broken surface on the bolt to start from.

Also invest in a tap to clear out the threads in the frame before running the bolts through (it'll be built up paint that's caused it to snap). It's the same size on all frames for every braze on so chances are you'll use it quite often (I think they're M5)

If all of that doesn't work get yourself some of these puppies from Clerkenwell Screws...(tip, start with pilot hole from small drill end then work up)

From the moment we spotted Peter Masters on the drizzly streets of Manchester, we knew he’d make it into the final 12. Maybe it was the Rasputin-style facial hair, the immaculate layering, or maybe it was just his easy charisma – either way Masters stood out a mile. A designer of everything from furniture to adverts, Peter also has a passion for vintage cars, he was about to buy a “Sunbeam Stilleto” when we spoke to him.

That mother fucking cardigan is making me wretch.

Maybe it was the Rasputin-style facial hair.

whats wrong with his neck?

Work injury? He's actually a plumber from Ilford called Dave. (His wife washed his socks with her knickers)

We first spotted PA Smith as he was popping into Harrods to DJ for DKNY event. A Dj by night and brand director by day, PA’s uber-cool credentials (come on, he calls himself PA) had nothing to do with him reaching the final twelve. It was those socks, oh and the fantastic navy blue worker suit that got him the gig.

Chump.

^ I think the logic with black is with a frame that loud, if you start trying to colour code with white deeeeep-Veeeeeez and blue spokes its just going to look gash.

Silver componants would work imo and blue or white bar tape, but any more and you'll end up with something closer to this than the nice builds above.

I actually don't mind that build. (Prefer it to current projects)

I do think the frame suits a hip hop slave setup more than any other...

GANGSTAAR.

Oh dear. Kind of frustrating when there's no struggle. Glad I don't have tickets.

I feel when I question the reasoning behind something it is usually my first observation or instinct that prevails. What a crock of shit.

Was up in Peak District last week.

Showman's Tipple killed it.

Fuck me that is fit. Want. changes aspirations

Fahhhh

Shoulda put it in cool pictures with bikes in mebies.

From photo of the day thread. He just belongs here.

Not bad. Remind me of the zx700 limited edition a few years back...

Horrid. Sympathies.

Looks a bit different...(excluding fart charm)

Close inspection reveals a butt freshner on that Vogue?

^^ Love the saddle.

That route does look tasty.

Woops. I deleted post. When I looked at it again. It is centered. It's just the aero bulkhead that makes it look odd. It is just pinned tho at either end like a watch strap link? So no steerer tube?

Surely that's Supergran's.
