If you want to get your mind all bitter and twisted about the bobber trend and what they do to old bikes, have a look at this weekends 'Throttle Roll' in Sydney, its on again tommorrow.

Search 'Throttle Roll Sydney 2015 ' on mr Google.

Luckily they don't usually hack up the best old bikes, but only because they cant afford them.

There are some clever people out there with a good eye for design & detail.
(unfortunately, there are many, many more with absolutely No Idea at all)
The Ape Hangered SR250 is a cheap and nasty copy of one previously done by a custom shop.
(I don't fancy either of them)

The real test, I guess, is would you be embarrassed to be seen riding it, by people who Know Bikes. 8)

BultacoMacca would you ride this one, down along the Esplanade on a sunny Sunday afternoon?

I know I would. :D

We shouldn't get too indignant about anybody modifying the Yamaha SR250.
They were a pretty ugly & awkward looking dog!

Here are a couple that are a bit better looking and a lot more VMX friendly.

The Trail Bike (with shades of DT1)


The Street Tracker


The Street Scrambler

Mick, you must live in a much more "Trendy" Suburb.  :o

My 'Esplanade' has Fish & Chip shops, kids on bicycles, Oldies walking dogs, boats on trailers, street machines & the occasional Hot Rod. 8)
