Huh!
Am I the only person who looking @ Modern bikes finds the gaping hole @ the rear between the hugger mudguard and the looming upturned back-end visually offensive & ridiculous?
And guess what some of this cavernous styling is being adapted onto Cafe Racers & Specials, a Canadian guy, built a Norton Featherbed Special with painstaking care & then forgot to put a rear mudguard in it, it looked vacuous, like a stupid oversight, is this bike to be ridden on the roads?
Someone, on a another site was boasting how he cut up Featherbed frames, (there's enough Heritage around, was his comment), to build his creations, which where functionally & visually doubtful to say the least.
What's wrong with these people have they no aesthetic insight or reasoning, why do so many new bikes look like overblown plastic Gnats/ Mosquito's pumped up on steroids with their wings plucked off?
There seems to be a growing movement of people, who want to take Featherbed of Classic frames and fit modern parts to them, I am not saying this cannot be done, tastefully, but surely there are limits to taste & decency within motorcyclecircles, but this is the worst example I have seen admittedly not a Featherbed but....anyway some food for thought here....
Cheers
