I think we on this site spend the majority of our time commenting on one thing or another. So and so does one thing, so and so does another........thats the way it is.

Am i bothered if i dont get the site Polices' seal of approval, No thats what makes me different.

It is difficult to portray humour and it be taken as critisism.
The classic red v yellow, **9 v **6/8. all spring to mind as regular topics.

Would yife be better of saying, well its painted as a xerox rep. Why that seat, JT's bike hasnt got a seat like that?

To me, it does look like a SRAD GSX-R rear and I'm not keen but hey - whatever floats your boat!

I agree there appears to be a bit of over reaction. I took the initial thread as a combo of humour and opinion. If I were the owner I probably would too. Afterall we do what we do for our own gratification not others. Or we should.

When I looked at the pic for the first time my immediate reaction was the same. Not sure about the rear tail piece. Looks out of proportion. It ain't ugly but not to my taste. Then again I have a 999 which from some angles is totally ugly ie rear three quarter view but looks stunning from the front three quarter view.

Lighten up everyone.

Peoples opinions aside, its his bike and if he likes it then good for him. We all have preferances , so what if some don't like.
Makes for good discussion thou.

I'd be interested to see it from other angles.

Looking at the picture doesn't do it justice. having seen it in the flesh a couple of times it does look very nice indeed.

Opinions are great, it would be a sad place if we were all the same but a bit of consideration for the owner would not go a miss. When typing / reading a board it is very hard to define serious or mickey take and as such a bit of respect goes a long way.

Just thought I'd add my comments. As someone who has modified my own bike, I have received mxed reactions. My stock answer is "It's not everyone's cup of tea, but, it puts a smile on my face".

I think Brogins bike looks good, not sure about all the mods, but if it works for him then nothing more to be said.
