There is a motorcycle with a broken windscreen that I see parked in front of a house I drive by often. Half of a windsrceen (broken vertically) that just looks like a big blade. I don't know the owner but I'm often tempted to pull over and leave a note or ring the door bell and tell him to just take the rest off.

I've been bitten by plastic as I broke it coming off a bike and wouldn't want to see this person go over the bars through that already broken windscreen. It could really do some damage.

They did some scary stuff on some of the biker build off shows or similar too. I seem to remember one where they even commented on their own bike having a nut remover or something like that where there was a spiked area.

I guess so long as it looks cool, it's okay with them.

I know for a fact that an FJR will come up.

The Spray-Eliminator TM, reduces the spray generated from the tires when operated in rainy conditions. The faux rawhide fringe look is consistent with Harley-Davidson's general marketing strategy.

I had a shaft drive 1985 650 NightHawk. Wheelies were not a problem. Ever!. Only issue I had was high speed bends demanded zero throttle input up or down. Any deviation would either drop, or raise the bike mid turn making for some pucker moment which usually was immediately followed by the beginnings of a tankslapper. Loved the bike 98% of time. But following my more experienced buddies around the twisties took a lot of thinking to get through them at speed. Always had to be super smooth & consistent until out of the apex.
Kept up pretty good with GS750's of the day.

Damn I miss that bike

He is very fast and very smooth from years of road racing. And he was actually taking it pretty easy with me on the back since I am not exactly petite. But it still freaked me out. So I can't fault anybody that doesn't like being a motorcycle passenger.

Same here!

Decorating bikes (helmets & jackets) with metal spikes???



Bar end spikes,
Frame slider spikes,
Windscreen trim spikes, etc...



And my all time favorite: Cyber Goth Motorcycle Goggles with Spikes:

SNIP

Makes me cringe, too.

Not meaning to diss the young lady in this pic, but the more I look at it, the more her face looks... plastic.

Meh. Takes all types.

I like this idea, if someone is thinking about side swiping you, they will think twice when they see the Ben Hur edition chrome on the scooter!
