One of my bikes is a Bourget I bought a few years back. Its a 2003 LowBlow, and the kickstand really has me concerned. The way it is welded to the frame, along with about a 1/4" total free play when the weight is on it makes me wonder how long it will last until it simple snaps off. And yes, the oil does run through the frame, so that's another thing to consider with the kickstand possibly breaking the weld. I love the bike though, but I advise anyone who asks not to get one unless you are on damned good mechanic.

For some reason, all I get is the Photo Not Found page. IMO, those bikes are ugly as sin.
