Does this look stupid? [Archive]

Usually, if you have to ask.....

I think it's a little big for a chopper, and cheesy, and, well, a bowling pin. You should try the bowling ball for a shifter knob...that would rock. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

i think it would be cool if it was functional, like ,if when parked, it does double duty as a tap. just grab it and pour yourself a beer when you get to were your going. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Tiger stripes, metalflake, and a Stroh's bowling pin? Nads, you're so conservative.

I agree, it's a little over the top. Too many things going on there. Now if you were building a theme bike, like O.C.C. does you might have something there. Solid black wheels with 3 small hole in them and a hydralic(sp) pin setter to raise and lower the bike. But you'd have to have a leather jacket that looked like a bowling shirt. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

There's probably some guy somewhere in Milwaukee that would think it's the coolest thing since glitterflake hit the bowling ball.

Nads, Nads, Nads....
How many bad boys did you ever see at a bowling alley?

Granted, hard to criticize a sport where you can hold a ball in one hand and a beer in the other, but....

And Rashy ... come on, a C chord is gonna make you cross your eyes?
Guitar playing ain't that tough.

Drink more beer.
That's the answer.
And learn to play in the Key of G.
Then you don't have to mess with that GD F chord....

09-14-2003, 01:02 AM

stroh's is cool, but the bowling pin has to go. and like i said the first time i saw that leopard seat, it has to go.

remember that car stroh's built that was shaped like a beer can? that would be a cool shift nob. i might unbalance things a little.

CharlieLed

09-14-2003, 01:04 AM

I have to agree, it looks stupid.
The best shifter knob I ever saw was on my buddy's Indian in 1972, he cut his little finger off in a construction mishap so he took it home and resined into a shifter ball! I wouldn't recommend removing a body part for your bike, but there sure are a number of other items that could be used that would be better than a bowling pin...IMHO.

i'd have to agree with everybody else and say that it looks a little stupid.

"stupid". Just over the top.
We've all had those "seemed like a good idea at the time" moments. Yer clever, you'll come up with something cool.

Nads - I've got an 8 ball you can have if you'd just get rid of that doofy thing. Yeah the 8 ball might seem overdone to some. And the truth is I'd never spend money on one personally - but I found this one (pre drilled) while out with the dog for a morning walk. Say the word and give an address and it's on it's way.

rickyracer, them's fighting words, you and your constant Florida bashing.
It was a joke y'all, the seat's serious mind you. With that stupid bowling pin on there you can't even turn the handlebars. In reality it's getting a resin skull cast by our own TikiRanch. It's beautiful, it looks like it's cast from mammalian spooge, you'll dig it. I hope.

Have you ever thought about a bowling ball as a shifter??

Now THAT would be cool!

09-15-2003, 05:02 PM

Kind of out of proportion. Maybe you could take it down a notch in terms of size and go with one of those Stroh's beer pull handles they use in bars on their taps. That'd be cool.

Paul Jr: "I really wanted the 7-10 Chopper to be something special. I gotta tell ya, I wasn't sure we could pull it off, but after spending seven straight nights bowling with my Dad and Mikey, I'm sure I've got the feel for it. This is going to be our best bike yet."

Paul Sr: "I gotta admit, when Picasso started on this bowling themed bike, I thought it was a little out there. But when I see it coming together, I gotta tell ya...I like it."

Mikey: "Yeah, and the bowling alley even had size twelve shoes for my Dad!"

Paul Jr: "But seriously, it took alot of hard work and fabrication to accomplish the look I was after, but I feel pretty confident that I nailed it. I gotta tell ya, it's really a beautifull bike, I think it's our best theme bike yet."

Wear those blue, white and red bowling shoes with the size written on them, and your league shirt when you ride it...gotta keep everything in synch, man!

All silly shit aside...cool bike...it's an original, just like you, Dude! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Kojack I get on your ass because you're an unfunny, non ironic, serious as nuts fucking pansy. When you do stupid shit you actually mean for it to be clever and appealing. You're a little fucking smidge of an iota of miniature poodle turd, you panty waisted fuck. I hated you the second you PMed whining about how I yelled at you.
Well I'm fucking yelling at you now, you non getting it, visor wielding fruitcake. You live in the heart of Hot Roddingdom and you don't have a clue. You never will have a clue. A clue could be entering your nasal passages and gnawing on your peanut sized brain and you'd go, "Oh is that a clue?, Nah it's just the start of my period."

The shifter knob's a joke you teenage putz, shrimp smelling, non ball dropping yahoo goodfornuthin' chimp.
The knob's a JOKE, but you're the real joke in HAMBland.

Send me a PM now!!!!

Autocol - right you are.
Now that I look again, how about one of the E7 chord forms in the first position?
Guess them beers and those brandys should have stayed in the ice box....

First mistake this week.
Ok....
Would you believe the second one?

I think I made a mistake once't, but I can't remember.

I had it on a list somewhere, but I lost the list.

I know, I know, the list is clipped on to the car keys.

Can't find them either....

You are telling a guy that he lives in the land of Hot-Roddingdom and doesn't have clue and never will in the same post you ask opinions about your bowling pin shifter? LOL!!!
