I wish I owned a bike that had an array of Yoshi tuning components for it... I'd love to wedge them all in, then replace the manufacturer logos with a big Yoshi kanji thing.

Jaysus. Yuck... Winner of the best cheesey 90's plasicta decal... maybe. Although for tackyness the 'Blade Decal gives it a run for its money.
It's not just the logo, but what it meant! Everyone wanted a Gamma.

I am just thinking about design. Fair enough. I'd love a 'blade. I'd be worried about it getting robbed though. Has to be the most robbed bike ever. They must see that jagged scipty logo, and feel obliged to rob it.

I think that's probably the GSXR. Didn't you know that GSXR is Chav for "Steal Me" ?

It used to be the DT125, or whatever it was- yamaha 2-stroke dirt bike- was the most nicked...

Sorry, it could just be me,I just don't get it? but I've seen this over the passed few years, on hats, T shirts, stickers that sort of thing, and it just strikes me as funny.

NO FEAR, fear is what you overcome to achieve something, it's natural, if you don't have it you blindly charge into things without the benefit of judgment, copying others without the built skills; relying on luck (which sometimes works) up until the point it all goes pear shaped.

After the hospital stay, you either gain a health respect for it (fear, even to a lesser degree) or do the same thing all over again.

Always wondered why people would walk about advertising their stupidity?
(I've got a "no fear" hat, one of the kids brought me, but I don't think it's cool, in fact it's woolly and keep my head warm , thanks)

in short
FEAR + ACHIEVEMENT = COURAGE
NO FEAR + ACHIEVEMENT = LUCK
NO FEAR + DISASTER = STUPIDITY

As I said perhaps it's just me?

Cheers Mark.

bobbydazzler....

Great derail there. You are correct the No Fear logo has nothing at all to do with what we are chatting about here. Why not bring on every other inane logo out there instead of the bike one's?
