Title: Re: Bitchin yammy Post by: Manky Monkey on August 22, 2006, 12:26:11 PM That's been on the RuffRodders site too. Posted a few pics of it's build up here last year some time I think. Yeah, it's quirkily cool isn't it.
Title: Re: Bitchin yammy Post by: lunatic on August 22, 2006, 12:46:15 PM I like the low seat and high tank look. Not really a chopper or a bobber and i think its got a certain amount of cafe racer about it. I like ;D
Title: Re: Bitchin yammy Post by: Manky Monkey on August 22, 2006, 12:49:42 PM Think it was an old Honda tank wasn't it? I'm sure it was dark blue last time I saw it though. Had odd touches like bath tap fork top nuts. Quite bravely different for the usual Yank tastes.

Title: Re: Bitchin yammy Post by: Manky Monkey on August 22, 2006, 07:35:58 PM Or just plain weird! :)
I remember looking at that curved hardtail & wondering how strong that would be. Sort of buggers the triangulation up a bit. Still very nice though.

Sort of buggers the triangulation up a bit. Still very nice though. Triangulation..... Every Triangle has 3 points, its just the route the frame takes to get to each of them ::) ;D .....Bet you couldnt bend it !! even with a lunchbag full of rock cake ;D Title: Re: Bitchin yammy Post by: Manky Monkey on August 23, 2006, 06:20:00 PM Yeah, but a triangle's strength is in the straight lines, all supporting one another. Once you squeeze that shape inwards you lose a lot of it's stability & under pressure it'll try to fold in on itself.
It don't matter none though -still a cool machine. ;D Title: Re: Bitchin yammy Post by: Manky Monkey on August 25, 2006, 07:40:04 AM Some more piccies of the Yam bobber/chop/cafe racer thingy, taken from the RuffRodders' forum. Looks good on the move. Makes a great change from the usual Yank Harley stuff. Nice to see they're finally realising they don't make the only motorcycles in the World.

Title: Re: Bitchin yammy Post by: Manky Monkey on August 25, 2006, 10:35:15 AM Is that a fuel level sight glass & filter down the left side of the tank in the 2nd photo?
Title: Re: Bitchin yammy Post by: lunatic on August 25, 2006, 06:39:53 PM Either that or a pee sample! ;D
Title: Re: Bitchin yammy Post by: Manky Monkey on August 28, 2006, 09:09:53 AM The sight glass is made from an upside down Corona bottle apparently!
