so, if you won the lottery, would you either:

have the parker brothers build you one of thier TRON bikes
Have the parker brothers build you one of thier batman POD bikes (apparently the original movie one can do 100MPH!)

give Orange county choppers a call and have them build you a custom bike (they *can* do others rather than choppers)

frankly, i'd get OCC to build clouds bike from FF7 advent children.

then again, if i WON either the tron or pod bike i'd sell it n give occ a call rofl

I'd visit each dealer and get one of their top sports bikes and top naked bikes.

Buy a house with about 6 garages and fill them.

Buy myself another Supra and something a little more exotic, Vanquish S etc.

I would then kit that house out.

But in the grand scheme of things, buy lots of nice bikes and use them all.I wouldn't pay some bearded fuckers to build me a bike that handles like a barge and looks tacky as fuck.
We have Keggyhander for that.

Well done OP.

You have either:

1.) Just successfully proven that all custom bikes are shit.

Or.

2.) Picked a group of the worst custom bikes ever made.

Go you!

If I won the lottery I'd buy a big house with a huge garage, then I'd buy a Caterham R500. Then I'd buy a Jaguar XFR, then I'd buy a 1 series M.

Then I'd go around buying up old two stroke GP bikes, and then I'd exhibit them at the Goodwood Festival Of Speed along with my Lancia Stratos, and my collection of old F1 cars.

I'd open a bike shop. I wouldn't be too worried about it being profitable, but all the bikes would be for sale. Bikes would come and go, but I could ride whichever I wanted and there would be staff who kept everything looked after. Maybe we'd hire out track bikes or something, good excuse to have a nice van and a motorhome for trackdays. Possibly a sideline in arranging shipping bikes overseas for touring holidays... and definitely a good place to grab a burger (on private land with a lax attitude to law enforcement).

Turns it from a simple hoarding exercise into something that'll employ a few people and 'share the love'.

Id buy a few bikes, nothing amazing and then over the course of a few years grow it to a bigger collection so I don't get bored.

House, Id build one from scratch with a huge "car house" and a huge workshop with all the nicest kit so I can have some projects.

My main worry with winning a huge amount of cash would be getting bored after a year of having everything I've ever dreamed about.

well seeing as the options are being ignored...

i wouldnt buy a house, i'd probably just buy a plot of land, a nice big field, build a house and have an 11 foot electric fence around the perimeter followed by a moat around the inside and a draw bridge.

top of the line security and backup generators, then buy some very nice bikes and go crazy, if the field was big enough, probably build a track into it with a track side garage fully kitted with snap-on tools and a dyno too.

not to mention the 40 bike capacity garage behind it.

quite possibly open up a few jobs for people, and charge a fee for people to use the workshop/track

i'd also keep the lottery money in a high interest savings account so that i can earn as much interest as possible with whatever is left over and basically just live off the interest

a mk1 escort rs2000

to be fair, thats something i'd like to do, maybe order all the parts (and i mean all the individual parts) to something like a ER5 and assemble it from the ground up. then probably spend a few months on here working out why i doesnt work lol

Everybody ignored your options because they sucked for the most of us that aren't gay cruiser owners.

Also, If I was going to build a bike from scratch, I wouldnt want to build something dull and boring like a ER5 when I could build something custom and of my own design.

buy a warehouse build a massive apartment at one end then i would use the remain space too open a custom bikes business knocking out 1 of a kind sports bikes and street fighters .

none of that giant tire bollocks and with that sort of money i could pick the projects i would be interested in building rather than taking on anything too earn cash . . .

would literally be my dream job and it would be giving me an excuse to have a CNC machine for making one a kind components

If I won the lottery I'd phone JMC-Egli and ask them to make me a Norvin.

My custom bike (custom as in one off, not a fag-fest cruiser) would be powered by a wankel rotary engine.


EDIT: And not a Norton.
