I like the yellow paint on the wall.

“A friend form England gifted me a used Honda F1 carbon fiber heat exchanger,” Roland tells us. “He thought I could use it in a sculpture, but it was more than clear to me that I should give this piece a new identity, as an upcycled motorcycle fuel tank.”

I'd call that a pretty hefty downcycle actually.

Similarly the Tesi frame is that shape for a reason. The funny front end on the Tesi means all the hard points are down low and the CoG is very low. This muppet has totally missed the reason for it and plonked a fuck load of steel up high on top of it.

-1/10. Back to your crayons. It actually annoys me that someone has taken such carefully considered parts and turned them into this monstrosity. If I won the Euromillions I'd buy this so I could crush it, then pay the dude to not fuck anything else up.

These things frequently look unfinished, missing mudguards etc. This one looks barely started.

[Mr Moofo]

Any pictures of it with the bodywork?

[DefTrap]

Fuck sake.

[Taipan]

Not my thing at all, but there's a lot of work gone into it for sure! Just not sure why...

[Count Steer]

Well, it made me laugh but I'm not sure that was the response the builder was after.

[Yorick]

It's not even half way finished

[ChrisW]

It reminds me almost exactly of an R/C motorcycle I had when I was a kid, only with the bodywork / fairing removed.

[Skub]

Fuck sake.

Eloquently summarised.

[weeksy]

It's a no then?

[Count Steer]

It's a no then?

I'd say the jury is out

What do you think of it?

[G.P]

The jury is out Throwing up.
Its fucking ridiculous (IMHO) done by someone who isn't a motorcycle person.

I like the yellow paint too though

[Demannu]

That has to be one if the nicest, best designed.......paddock stands i have seen in a long time

Exactly that.

Any pictures of it with the bodywork?

[Druid]

This might be contentious, but I'm not keen on it

[Mr Moofo]

Any pictures of it with the bodywork?

That looks way better !
