Following the triumph Bobber thread here is a classic 'Boober'
How to Ruin a Good Motorcycle
When I pulled up to my buddies' shop in San Clemente, CA the other day, there was a young Marine standing outside who had just rode in on the Star Bolt he has just bought from a friend. The good news was that he picked up this awesome two-year old motorcycle for $2k. The bad news was that this thing had been absolutely butchered by whoever he bought it from, and he rode it in with the rear shocks ZIP-TIED on. Not only that, but they had removed the spring from the shock and drained out all of the fluid to basically turn it into a short strut. OHMYGOD. How this kid managed to make it the fifteen or so miles from base to the shop here is beyond me, but I am sure glad he did. If for no other reason than to smack him upside the head and let him know how incredibly unsafe that monstrosity he is riding is.
