Maybe an infactuation with the check out girl at JC Whitney?
"This bike is in the United Kingdom and offered for sale from a dealer. It is felt that the US market would appreciate the work and loving attention that has gone into this creation."
Where the hell did they get this screwed up impression of a Yank's taste?
Mark - that did make me laugh. Good one.
Wait a minute! WTH! I just noticed the ad says the trailer is included! You could use that to haul more stuff home to put on it!

Well, the market segment I come from thinks it's a bunch of crap. That guy must be in charge of US marketing for Yamaha. They (and all the other m/c companies) are typically clueless on what the "real" motorcycle community wants.
Yeah, give us some more Goldwings and V-twins. That's all we're really interested in here in the US.

We have really screwed up if that is indeed the impression that we have communicated to the rest of the world. Or at least the UK........... :mad:
That's GOTTA be a joke. Some tongue in cheek humor from our Limey cousins.
Look at those lights. I mean come on.....Does our alternator even have the wattage to light them up without melting?
Someone went to a hell of a lot of work for this gag......Please say it's a joke.

Might as well put it up here where it easy to see.....just in case the ad runs out - or worse yet, if someone in the US buys it.

I think that our UK brothers are morally obliged to find out who did this - and shoot them. Don't worry, we'll all testify in your defense. What an abortion. :bad: :ireful:

Moral of this story.
Don't ride through a glue factory and then fall down in a junkyard. Clean the glue off before going to the junkyard.
Bling Bling! She's a beauty! Slap a couple of Harley Davidson stickers on her and it'll sell.
Joking aside, you gotta appreciate the hours, effort and money the guy dumped into it.
Unfortunately, he used his own taste to guide his efforts.
That's a throwback to the '50.
Rockers and Mods - a Teddy boys.
good job FJs are so reliable - it would take a day just removing all the junk so you could change the back tyre/tire.

True me bucko, but not in the way that you think.....Excessive salivation is the first stage of reverse peristalsis

XLNT Pat...
"the reverse of the involuntary smooth muscle contractions of peristalsis. It usually occurs as a precursor to vomiting"... :bad:
I knew Peristalsis, but honestly thought you might have meant that anal retentive behavior might be indicated...
"the material in the rectum is often returned to the colon by
reverse peristalsis where more water is absorbed, thus temporarily reducing pressure and stretching within the rectum" :shok:
Either way its kind of funny I guess.

I wonder how he got it to look like that... is it coated with Al sheeting or something? Maybe stainless? :rofl2:
Imagine laughing at it and having it blast away like an FJ will (even with 2 up, it rolls on strong... and all that shit can't be more than another 150lb or so max?). Heck, he might have a built motor in that thing. :music:
Someone better snatch it up!
Frank
OK maybe 250 pounds... or 350? That's pretty "loaded".
Someone wanted a Harley with the reliability of a Japanese bike..
FJ-Hog was born...
Just think of all the "biker babes" you could pull in with something like that!!!! Of course you'd have to be about 400 lbs, raggedy looking and "ain't got no job",,,,,, but man,,, you'd get wore out in Sturgis.
WTF :bad:
