Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Junk or Art?

Junk or Art?
Either way it's now hanging in the lobby at work.





The blue light is provided by a strand of blue LED lights from a Christmas tree.
The indicator light is lit (full time) by means of a 12 volt adapter and an LED tail light bulb thus the reddish orange tint.
The yellow SV fairing sticker I just happened to have and covers some scratches well. Plus easier to read when viewed hanging on the wall.

My employees love it.
My wife says toss it in the bin.
Just wanted some biker opinions on it, good or bad.
Your thoughts?

My son says it looks like a scooter.

At least curvy's are starting to end up where they belong, as museum pieces.

Oh mean, Ralph, mean!

Is it junk, is it art? It does fulfill one of the main features of most modern art actually. I look at it and I think, "Why?"

I love the curves and the lighting adds a bit of life to it.. cant help thinking its the modern moose's head.
Makes me smile and wish I still had my curvy

Dont know if anybody saw an episode of Grand Designs where the guy had a complete 916 Ducati on his wall? Well, it looks better than that Bill. Art is what you make it
