I have been watching the discovery Channel Bike build off and I have to tip my hat off to Matt Hotch. The guy is a master the nth degree. Check out his website. It also incudes 2 cool screen savers for your PC of his art.

Loud Pipes save lives my friend..... and what about this mans art has anything to do with your hate for loud bikes.. .so I have a hate for the idiots in there rice rockets (or sport bikes) that are poping wheelies at every light where I live.
 
Msly i am with you on the rice bikes,a couple house up these guys own crotch rockets and the try (i stress the word try) to look cool.I will laugh one day when they crash since it would be their own fault.The one guy races them and last sunday and he he was seeing how fast he could get it to go on a 1/8th mile(yhe hit 108) but he did it on a public street when where he would turn around and the bottom of the road their is wastemangment and they are clodsed on sunday so he had 1/4 mile to run there but he chose to run on the street dodgeing cars
 
Matt Hotch's bike on the buld-off was aewsome. The idea of no kick stand and using hyro's to lower the bike to rest on the frame totally took it to another level.
 
ya matt's bike was sweet ... but so was martins bike !!! i think that is the first episode of the build off where both bikes were just freakin awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i have had a sport bike and finally grew up ... i don't hate them ... but i have found riding in comfort is much better ... i currently cruise a honda shadow sabre 1100 ... but in the market for a big dog ....
 
are they even mufflers?!?! or are they just tubes that happen to be coming off the engine.... sure loudness saves lives... but almost deafening loudness is BAD

Still no comment on how beautiful the mans bikes are....
 
i would prefer not to be seen riding one of them if that means anything. i geuss they loook nice but the way you sit on them and ride seems silly

Wow don't knock yourself out with the comment I guess...

I personally find it ridiculous to be riding a bike that was really built and designed to be on a race track. To each his own.
 
Cmon MSLY, don't you recognize the "don't confuse me with facts my minds already made up" syndrome?. I hate crotch rockets, these guys think they are the shiznit, ripping through traffic, holding up traffic to let the cars in front of them get a head start, so the can wheelie down the street. I too will laugh my ass off when I get to witness one of them eat it, only because they deserve to. Your not going to get an answer from Arrow, how could a ricer possibly give credit where credit is due, it's just because it is not a ricer. Yeah, I see how the crotch rockets, where you almost have to lay down across the frame and tank are so much more comfortable to cruise around town are as opposed to a nice ass, one of a kind cruiser. Which brings up another point, damn near every crotch rocket looks exactly like the next one, no originality whatsoever. Nearly every cruiser has its own look and personality. Anyway back to the subject, I agree, the guys bikes are damn sweet!

I couldnt have said it better myself....
 
damn right NCnitro,they only problem with the custom bike is comfort you would not want to drive 500 mile wit them like these guys did to get to the contest.
 
hey...heyy.... the term ricer means all show no go... your using it in the wrong context here,,, cause i am very against ricers.
edit: how do you know that if i ever get a bike ill be wheeliing down the street? thats like saying all harely riders are big fat drunk orges....
edit2: and the non motorcycle fans say bad crap about both kinds of bikes. its all your tastes.

both have pros and cons. i dont know the pros of cruisers, most likely comfort. but they are loud enough to actaully be painfull and weigh a good amount sports bikes are nimble and fast without the comfort(i wouldnt know, but judging by what your saying.)

Arrow, got a guilty conscience? I don't recall anyone saying YOU would be pulling wheelies down the street. You got on here, in a cruiser thread, and started dissing them, and trying to hype crotch rockets, when I bet you have never rode either type of bike. I have rode both myself, and I must say I much prefer the "loud" harley type bikes. But then again I prefer old american muscle cars to those grocery getters with a giant rediculous looking spoiler bolted to the trunk lid. BTW how much more speed to you gain with one of those wings, lol. Oh yeah and don't forget to complete the package a toilet bowl sized muffler cap that makes the car sound like a crotch rocket with a hole in the pipe.

Nitroking, I don't think I would want to drive 500 miles on any bike, hell I don't even like driving 500 miles in an air conditioned car, lol.
 
NCNITRO: Say's

LOL

THis bike has been around for a bit.... It certainly took alot from the current crop of custom bike builders that are out there. doesn't even look like a honda

I don't think the sport bike crowd can really appreciate how fast a good v-twin can be. Tons of midrange, tons of power, serious thrust and speed. It is alot like an acura owner who puts tons of money to become fast and furious not recognizing that a big block v-8 will still smoke em.
 
I dont like the way that front wheel is pushed in to the frame on that honda. Extend those forks, bring that front wheel away from the bike, and it would look much better.

I love that rear spoiler MSLY, where can I get one for my Jeep, lol.

Nitroking, that Yahama is a very nice looking bike. but I'll take one of these any day. These are from a company called Big Dog Motorcycles. The bikes are made completely in house, I think they are sweet!
