    Looks like a busted nut waiting to happen. Maybe that's why the guy is slightly hunched over and has to lean on the bike.

    Seriously, who would design a rigid object into the front of the seat?

    I like the hand grab built into the seat.. but I suspect that thing weighs enough you'd rip the seat off before you'd pull the bike. :photog

    The cruiser footpegs sure do conflict with the intention of the design unless its all about the pose?

    Are those ATV tires that are readily available or are they some sort of custom thing?

    Wierd looking frame! From this view, it reminds me of a huge telephone handset. What the heck are those big round things for anyway? Nice light weight swingarm too.

    It's a heavy sucker, someone's got to hold it up because the designers forgot the kickstand. Chuck Norris was busy elsewhere so the job fell to this poor guy.

    White paint, looks like a dungeon in there. Got to be depressing and lead to poor work. Really!

    I just assumed it's fancy enough to have it's own internal gyroscope.

    And lasers. It should definitely have lasers.


    EDIT - I just assumed it was an attention getting piece for a designer trying to make his own name, but this article hints he may actually be serious? :huh

    Seems like a bad version of the Big Wheel! 3" of travel in the front and 4" in the rear.......I think even going as slow as ThumpCo you'd bottom out!
















    Just a joke Thump!:deal:1drink

    Dude.. that's why I was hoping for the internal gyroscope. Stay upright without hitting those scary double digit speeds.

    Here are 28 WAYS I can help you fix that problem. Each of those beauties features a 5+ car garage. The first ten are under $1MM. If you buy 5225 Niwot Rd, I'll throw in a KTM of your choice. :lol3

    Can you find me a similar listing for south of Boulder?

    Front range south Boulder through Golden -> Idaho Spings on western limit or coal creek or golden gate canyons :ears

    4.4 mil for a Longmont address? I can live extremely-comfortably for less than half of that and have a Kailua/Kaneohe address :evil

    Sure. Here's the search map. Here are the listings with at least a 5 car garage. All are actively listed, not under contract.

    It's not the space that's the issue..I know a couple who have a big 6 car garage (3 attached and 3 detached) and the thing is chock full. A big truck, a suv, 5 bikes, 3 snowmobiles, and wood for the winter. And a plow truck, a work area, a kegerator/freezer, bicycles, generator, etc...and he gave his sister his jet ski's to make room.


    It's the toys that take up the room.

    It's not your age. You must be breathing fumes in those enclosed spaces. I'm old and I think the F6B is totally fugly :eek1. It looks like Honda is trying to compete with Victory for the most massive, ugliest, two wheels on the road :puke1.

    2. A tennis court
    3. A pool

    The search engine doesn't work very well.. many of the 5 and 6 "garage spaces" are yard parking spaces.. for example the one in apex is a single carport but has 5 parking spots listed :patch
