This just showed up over on ChopCult.com. ZX6 wheels and forks are used. I typically don't care for the stance of most modern Bonnie hardtails, but this one looks right to me. http://www.chopcult.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7259&page=2

I looked at an old Triumph chopper with straight high pipes like those. I asked the guy if they burned his leg. He said he definitely didn't wear new jeans....

You know what they say. "If you don't ride a hard tail you ain't sh*t, but then again if you do ride a hard tail you can't sh*t".
Man, I love the shocks on my bike!

Don't get me wrong, thats a sweet ride. But I can't get over the fact it looks like a sporty. I dunno, maybe its just me.

I had to take another look at the picture after reading that as well and don't see that DNA anywhere. After another peek, I like it more than ever.

Well guys, maybe Zach is thinkin' it looks just a little like the Sportster "Iron 883" here...  And, I suppose I can kind'a sort'a see that...maybe. (...though yeah, I also suppose it might help to make the connection with a couple o' gulps of some good spiked eggnog under your belt, alright!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Yes, they're both motorcycles with two wheels and engines and gas tanks. They're exactly the same! I see it now!

I think it is defined by the Triumph (vs peanut) tank. It has plenty of Speedmaster DNA in it.

Uh huh, John. Yeah, "exactly". Yep, that's what I said "alright"..."they're exactly the same"! 
(...and so, how much of that spiked eggnog have YOU just consumed, HUH???)

Yep, that's a nice lookin' Bobber, alright. 
Though, it also needs those rear shocks blacked-out too!

Maybe I was high when I looked at that bike. I can see where I thought it did but on second glance I'm retarded. Carry on.

I'm glad you've come to your senses. We'll call it a momentarily lapse and move ahead.
