the wooden seat looks like it might be an issue, unless you like splinters in your ass [roll]
Your Canadarian tastes betray you ;D
That thing looks like a rigid tail...ouch. And why does it need radial Brembos?

Not bad....not bad at all.
At least it's a different cruiser.
No down tube. 17" wheels? Ecosse-type bike, but simpler, not as busy. The swingarm-thing doesn't intergrate with the tank to my eye but still I like the start.
I like it when concepts look like they might actually, ya know, work.

The women are under fifteen lays of frost coated outerwear. It gives a new meaning to "Ice Cold pregnant dog".
Rumour has it they also grow their leg/armpit hair in during the winter to help keep warm.
I'd rather melt out a dental filling with a candle and jab an ice pick in the raw nerve, if only so I could think about something else.
I really Dig that Bike [thumbsup]

If someone told you that bacon was the best food ever but they didn't eat it, would you believe them?
No?

Oh boy...now we're starting a regional war
within Canada...
BC does rock though...if you don't mind 2 hour ferry rides to get anywhere.

I need out of this place. It's getting so bad I may spaz if someone says "San Jose" because the 'word' "eh" gets repeated so often up here. It makes the Brookklyn accent look intelligent, aight youse guys?
dq:
1. yes, regional war within canada ... the west coasters have always hated anything east.
2. the english canadians have always hated the french canadians (a. EVERYONE hates the french canadians, especially the french. b. two words: céline Dion).
3. you only need to take the ferry boat when you want to go to vancouver island, and that's really only for touristas.
mrincredible:
agree with you that canadian easties use "eh", "hoser", 24blue" a LOT ... but folks in bc don't use these very often ... we only use them as punchlines to jokes about easties.
a presto,
johnc

The seat is silly but other little technicalities like lights and suspension mean nothing close to this will see production. That is OK. It is, after all, just a design exercise. A test of what turns you on. For me I am not that impressed.
I like the juxtaposition of the wood and aluminum. The seat is my favorite part of that bike
Nice bike.
And just out of curiosity, does it sound like "Oh, so yer from San Hose, eh?"
And don't bash on Canadians. They're a wonderful people, who apparently have their own laws and government and everything.
Except the Quebecois. They're evil and must be stopped. [evil]
