I think visual modifications are a good way to express yourself and your passion for bikes and the looks really mean everything to me but more so when I've put the time and effort in myself. |
I get that. Modern bikes seem harder to do that to though. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

My Street Triple was smooth at all revs, no snatchiness, 2010 bike.

But how? Even underneath the bodywork, they're all funny, awkward shapes. That's why they look like they do. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
