Frankenbike .net and Frankenbike.com sites for weirdish bicycles. Why not call it FRANKENMOTO as it's a Beemer.
Building the bike. Top of my list, bottom of the wife's.

Re: Smart BMW Logo
Not that it matters too much... but since the average motorcyclist won't know what a Brick is, it may not be as good a name, but to a rare few Brick Enthusiast. Had to actually look up "Brick" myself to figure out why that chose.touchwoodsden wrote:Eddy Wane wrote:Frankenbike .net and Frankenbike.com sites for weirdish bicycles.

PS: For those as lost as I was; apparently some "K" model BMW's are affectionately termed Bricks and his K100 is one of those Brick models.)

Re: Smart BMW Logo
Good point although I thought that most Motorcyclists called it the Brick in the same way as they call the CX500 (for some strange reason) A Maggot.coachgeo wrote:Not that it matters too much... but since the average motorcyclist won't know what a Brick is, it may not be as good a name, but to a rare few Brick Enthusiast.

I just got rid of a flying brick. K100 rs with belly pan and full luggage. Very stable at high speeds!

Re: Smart BMW Logo
Now you tell me Alex!
Flying brick - 'cos the engine looks like it is made from bricks.
Maggot - anything that rots quickly, CX500 exhaust system for example. Very early Vauxhalls with the crap Swedish steel. You could almost poke your finger through the metal.
Brick - a vehicle that looks faster stationary than when moving. Big list of those.![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Any car is know as an cookie tin (Koekblik) to motorcyclists here in the Netherlands.
