The enduro version of the KTM is super practical, though, and functional. I knew a guy in Colorado who took the art thing seriously and rebuilt Brit classics and installed them in his living room (a really big room, too) on pedestals without a drop of oil anywhere near the "art." I could almost appreciate that. <br /><br />If I ever starting liking cruisers, you'll have to assume Alzheimer's has taken hold. Everything about them, from the lack of function to the social comment, pisses me off. T.W.

Personall... I get that you have no use for cruisers. Personally I like anything on two wheels. The problem I have with this post is you claim the KTM is more functional than the chopper. What is its function? A dirt bike with street tires that isn't street legal is just a hooligan bike. A bike to have fun on much like the chopper. If its a race bike then its a toy just like the chopper. If the owner of the chopper bought it that way then he is trying to fit an image. If he built it that way then he is expressing himself. Take a closer look and you may find some nice welds that weren't done by a robot. Maybe I'm confusing functionality with practicality in which case both bikes lose.Scott Seidlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244490864200031268noreply@blogger.com
