Yep, I agree - I just don't see the point - But I also don't see the point in WWF, Oval race circuits and a preference for large cc automatic cars !

Can someone pass the bleach for my eyes please.

Or even better has anyone got one of those flashy memory erasing thingys the Men in Black use, that would be perfect.

I think you'll find that the 'High, Short Tail' look is actually more of a German thing than American.

I wonder if it is uncomfy. Suppose looking at it more and more, you were to get the front wheel up, you'd be a little better off wheelying(sp? Wheelieing?) it. Can see the attraction for custom/fighter'ers, a lot are into this sort of high tail work.

EDIT: If you rotate the image slightly to make the seat and unit sit normal-ish sort of state, the front wheel isn't THAT high off the deck.

It's something from the german streetfighter builders.

The Americans tend to stretch and chrome their (orrible) "streetfighters"

It's something which can look really good, but in this case... fail.

well most yanky doodles love that sort of monstrosity... You would have to be purely blind to think that fits.. Mayby if it had a HUGE rear wheel? Dam wish I had photoshop on my iPhone now

maybe josie is 8ft tall?

Edit : can someone just ask the question to the seller? "why is the back so high?" I would but I canna get on ebay at the mo..
