Itchy Boots - New Season

[TheBear]

I think she has been very shrewed in promoting the old tech bike. I think she realises her main audiance are us oldies and we might pay more attention just to see how it performs.

Not sure about that main audience thing. My perception is that is mainly woman and even non-riders before it gets to us oldies.

Can help bring that down.

Guy in Goodwood who upholsters some seriously expensive cars, but is a rider and also does bike seats. Did my Harleys seat, with new foam and two texture fabric for R950.

Another guy who sprays hand built Ferrari replicas who could do the tank for around 3.5K maybe in a single colour.

I just like playing along with the "rebuild dream" as it would be flipping cool.

I have seats to be done.....

Sure, but that is if you can find one for R30k.. you probably will not

Then you cant just take out the labour, saying, oh do it yourself.. labour is the bulk of the cost of any bike build

Then this motor was completly built up. including wiring upgrade... you are coming in very light at R9k

You gonna hit the price of a 300 rally easily for this build without breaking a sweat

Then just look for a 600E, essentially the same bike, and thise you can find cheaper.

We're 19 pages into a new thread of her travels, and how many 100's in the first thread? Mostly us toppies commenting I would say. Anyway, good luck to her. Time will tell. Expect others to copycat too.

What would the 'surfers' know about the bikes? They are the voyeurs more like. Anyway, whatever, still think it's a clever move. Maybe someone in her past rode one and that influenced her decision.
