The DIY I don't mind so much. The politics I can do without.

Let drown out the politic threads with pictures of brown seated CX500 cafe racers!

Lol I'm not the biggest fan of the brown seats but theres so few sites that have custom builds to choose from.

Try writing better biking tips ;)

You buggers are all so old now, you know it all... unlike the days on VD when you were just young and knew it all.

The bike looks fun,but fix that front guard. Looks like it was installed by Stevie Wonder.

Are you bastards arguing? Has weeksy got a turd in his pocket?
Weeksy, you got so much banter on here because your pretty bloody relaxed, which I reckon is why people like it. You could always do what we did on the kato Foz and have areas for the banter, like Augie's crap pile and off subject area's.
Suppose it comes down to how many people have thick skin here. Which most do.

Back to the subject. And being a tired ex sm rider. I would like to see a little more seat on the dominator. All sumo guys like to wheelie and I could see myself sitting back on the tin bit trying to get p.o.b on that thing. Other than that, I'd ride it. Fark yeah. But I'd ride just about anything with tits or tyres.
