VTR cruiser

Post by Kev L »

Apologies if this has been on here before (I did search the archive, honest).
I have to say it seems a lot of work to go ugly early, but have to admire his tenacity.

When Shawn showed his Storm Cruiser to Honda Australia, they referred him to the U.S.
i.e, get that away from us. We want nothing do do with it.

The Honda Fugleigh, don't see many of those around.

Import only, I believe, specially adapted for the hard of thinking.

The only known example is in the foyer of the Royal Society for the Blind in London.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Forget what the bike looks like, more importantly what about the welding on the modified frame 8O

Whenever I see a posting like this I always scroll down through the comments first before opening the link. Usually, I find that the object is not as bad as most contributors would paint it out to be.
In this case though I do find myself thinking it is not as good as, shall we say, it could be!

I love the fact you assume it's welded. It looks like badly applied putty on that frame to me!!!!!
Only a four out of ten from me.................. and most of that's for having the b*lls to keep hassling HONDA Australia and the United States at all :eek2

Stevie,
I didn't really like this bike, but I much prefer it to the one in the OP's link.

Chris (LSM),
I think you've mis-understood :wink:

That is supposed to be a real motorcycle, not a model :lol:
