Frankenbike .net and Frankenbike.com sites for weirdish bicycles. Why not call it FRANKENMOTO as it's a Beemer.

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.

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.)

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.

Maybe they're nick names from that side of the pond :?: :? never heard of a Maggot moniker either. Can see Brick with the squared off look. But honestly I will take my words back and shut up... am not a bike aficionado by any means. Name her as you desire. Heck we got Ol' Sluggy as a bike in here, then there is Mouse with a bike, so why not a BrickMW :mrgreen:

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

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:
