Ok... Ok... You've all brought this on yourselves..... I tried to sell this seat, but not one of you would buy it..... So now, I'm going to have to build a bike around it.... As it's got a quilted seat, has been scooped so only a sliver of foam is left and has been done in fetching shades of red and black, the only choice is a hipster cafe racer..! So, It's going to have no mudguards. It'll have minimum clocks. It'll be brown...! It's going to have a 2 into 1 exhaust with heat tape wrapped headers. The number plate will be on the swing arm. It'll have a spoked wheel in the front and a disc wheel in the rear..! You can't stop me now... Then I'm going to sell it for 50K It all of yours fault......   |

Just remember you must use something like a "rock" and "powerfull Honda twin engine, like a CB200's, for the full coffee house, gin palace, beard oil, c**tish effect...

And don't forget the fattest front tyre you can get to screw up any "handling" abilities you have not managed to design out.....

Oh, its going to have a YPVS bottom end with a lock up clutch and clear window but with a wooden retaining ring..
polished walnut...
Then, to capture the true essence of bikes and why, it's going to have air-cooled RD200 cylinders... standard.. but with polished fins..
I thought I might put the front wheel in the back and the back in the front... that'll keep them guessing..

I can't get the top knot in my genuine reproduction authentic aged pudding basin helmet....
Tried the pipe but the bubbles get in my eyes when I'm riding.....

You could call it "Bohemian Crapsody"  Dusty |

So, progress has been slow on the hipster Bohemian Crapsody... (Thanks Dusty...)
Sorry about that but it's taken me ages to grow a beard before I can have a meeting with the design team and be taken seriously...
Good news though... The organically farmed bamboo for the heat wrap on the exhausts is coming along nicely..

Forget the "bike" ..buy some cords and open up a gin distillery. You've already got the beard..

After Kees knocked most of them out in the Rotterdam Dirt Sprint competition. They now take the RD serious and a couple of them have been looking for one and have asked me if I know where one is for sale

MZ250 tank in the aforementioned brown. Rigid rear end and an iron cross rear light above the swing arm mounted number plate. Amazingly some company did make 2 stroke 2-1 and 3-1 pipes until the buyers realised they were soddin' useless so get one of them, great idea. Rear disc and front drum sounds like an ideal match to me. 21" front wheel and a scooter one on the back. And for added kudos maybe a Sidewinder?
