with that wheel it looks silly, add a 26 or a 30 and it would look a lot better IMHO

Never thought I would ever see an ugly roadking, but given time and money there was bound to be somebody out there willing to give it a go.

Just my 2 cents-really ugly but no worse than taking a 25k glide and making everything BLACK. At least it has GLOSS paint on it.

I hope that bike wasn't any indication on how the girls look inside.

Different strokes for different folks are sometimes, very different. Interesting look, although I just threw up a little in my mouth.

I like it! Don't care if anyone else agrees or not...

Maybe that's the problem with most people these days. I hear everyone saying how different they are, or want to be. But, they are all trying to be different the same way everyone else does. I wonder if anyone has made a count of how many have started a 'What do you think...' or "What would you do" thread here?


I once sat on the curb, at a local rally, just a short distance from where my was bike parked. Before long, there were a couple guys that came over to my bike, and looked it over pretty good. Then they stood there picking it apart. "He still has the stock...", "Look at that...", etc. I believe they had parked their bikes just across from mine. While I sat there, I never saw anyone walk over to their bikes to check them out...
