While I appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship needed to come up with those bikes, I'm just burned out on choppers at the moment.

That's a really good looking frame design, they've come a long way in the last 5 years or so. I don't think I'll ever get used to a water cooled motor in a naked frame.

Hey the dude (Matt) who builds them is a cool cat. Lot's of ingenuity goes into those bikes. He rolled up on me the other day with the purple one in the back.

I actually sorta dig the one in the foreground. Lots of neat detail. I don't care for the paint scheme, that luggage rack thing, or that french curvy frilly bit of nonsense under the engine, but the rest is pretty damned cool. Otherwise pull the rear wheel in a little closer to the seat and paint it basic black.  8)

Defiled, adulterated, sullied, besmirched, profaned, and sacrilegious are a few of the words that come to mind. :'(

Now there's an idea.

I've ridden with those guys and all I know is I couln't keep up with Matt.  I know, I know that's doesn't say much about my own abilities.  Also, I don't think they've parted out a 1098 yet.  I believe the watercooled ones are 996s or sum such.

Any particular reason?


Most people say the exact same thing about your bike, fyi (not you personally, just the 696 in general).
