My other bike (not a VTR)

Seeing as so many people liked my newest bike (the firestorm/superhawk) maybe you'll like this.

My trusty steed known as 'The Scud', I've owned it for a couple of years and have ridden it many many thousands of miles. It was originally a Honda Bros (nt400) but has had a thousand different mods since I've owned it.

Transalp 650 Lump

Home-made chain oiler.
Home-made headlamp brackets.
Jota handle bars
Home-made risers.
Filled in wheel.
Highway bars.
Ammo-can toolbox.
Twin 7" lights
cat-eye reap lamp.
Revere 19 Litre tank.
Home made front rack.
Home made sissy bar.
Massive Exhaust from a Subaru Imprezza (got it off ebay for a £1) shown in 2nd photo.
Extended sidestand by welding a 17mm socket on the end (to cope with fireblade rear shock)
Headlight grill made from a shopping basket.
Home made under-bar mirror.
Random indicators from different bikes, stuck on with tape.
Army pouch saddle bags.
All painted in black Masonary paint from the local DIY store.

If there was anything that made me want to pull out "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome", this is it!

Man, that's a sweet ride!

What reaction do you get when you take it for an MOT test?

Keep trying at the vtr1000.org forums - is it just the registration confirmation e-mail that you're waiting on?

The rat bikes in san francisco look somewhat close but your bike that has a lot more creative elements. Build em and sell em, funky artist types in new york will bite.

Nobody has mentioned the sissy bar. It's not often you see one that's not chromed twisted steel, cool.

Very cool, Ratty. I'd suggest the addition of a side car, an old Mg34 and 100 rounds of linked 8X57 ammo, but that would probably land your **** in prison!
