I do like the loaf of Italian bread someone left on the bike. Mmmm...Italian bread.

Can't get it right all the time.

There is something about the symmetry of this bike that I really like. And it looks to be highly rideable too. I like custom bikes that look like you could actually ride them somewhere and enjoy it.

I like this too... As my dad would say, "This looks like a Boy Dog."

I'll bet this bike would be a hoot to own and ride on a daily basis...

Thanks for posting and joining in Irish, that's a first right?

I guess someone has to love the CX.

A few detail changes to that BMW and it would be killer.

Right now, it doesn't know if it wants to be a cafe racer or a scrambler. It's sort of a mish-mash of both.

Cafe Racers have to scramble sometime too you know.

I'm not sure if "symmetry" is what you mean. Maybe "aesthetics"? I like the aesthetics as well as I have always been drawn to "heavier on top with a slim posterior" type shapes. Can you think of anything else in nature that you like that fits that description?

My brain struggles with that bike though because the aesthetics of the outline of the bike are pleasing but I am mentally predisposed to reject the engine design and make.

P.S. I do like the line of the exhaust at the cylinder head with the carb angle though.
