    i sold the red piglet as i plan to buy a new bike

    sadly the guy who bought it wanted it right away or no deal

    i cant go get my new bike until may

    so here is the pusbucket

    2012-04-01_10-57-30_360 by johnnyfast, on Flickr

    from the tip of its leaking fuel tap to the end of its smoking exhaust
    it is truly one of the biggest p.o.s ever to grace the byways of china
    recovered from the back of a noodle shop in yangzhou and fully refurbished
    (spray bombed matt black and pushed down the alley until it coughed into life)
    it is mine to love for the next month

    feel free to disparage it in any way

    I'd love to come over and defile it myself!

    But since i can't, i'd say just go ahead and hacksaw the whole subframe off, leave just enough for the seat to be uncomfortable. A plasma gun would be more fun but then you'd need new tires.

    Also just completely remove the exhaust. Not just the muffler, the whole thing.

    Buy more spray cans and continue what you started. Engine, fork tubes, brake disc, headlight, tires, everything.

    Perhaps weld some things onto the tank, whatever you can find that will conduct an electric arc. Nail clipper, tin of cat food, etc...


    On the day that you get your new bike, finish this one in style. Drive it there and when you arrive aim it at the wall of the place, gun it and do a jump n roll at the last second. It might even explode. You will probably get the new for free.

    Now if that was a guitar, it could be worth a lot of money! Incredibly, companies like Gibson & Fender charge EXTRA for the "relic" look, and a vintage guitar loses value if it is not in its original "played" condition with all original parts.

    Maybe today's "junker" is tomorrow's "gem"? Nyah, maybe not.

    Anyways, ride with pride. It is paid for!

    BTW, is that a genuine simulated vinyl seat cover? Nice!

    ha ha felix i would smash it into the wall but it still belongs to the scottish mafia

    i just know those wide boys would headbutt me to death

    also my new bike is in kunming

    the pusbucket is really the bike you wonder if it will get to the next gas station

    chances of doing 2500km across china ...slim, one feels

    ljh, i believe the seat is actually genuine rat hide
