NASTY‘s GSX 1400 World

[Nasty]

Hello everyone

I'm starting a thread to showcase my motorcycles.

This one is currently my rolling laboratory and my battleship 🏁

I guess you don't ride far with that seat?

[KiwiCol]

I can see a lot of Nasty mods there . . .

Suppository required to ride at all 🙀
Battleship ?

@Hooli

Let's see if you figured out the answer.

It was a few days ago, but it should still work as a reply 😉

Hmmm, the numbers on the trip meter suggest it gets ridden a fair bit, so seat comfort is good, strange looking (as in never seen anything like except a push bike) but it works ok.

Individuality, our bikes our way.

I believe that you've never seen that before.
But the metadata says: 1200 km in 15 hours non-stop!!!

The seat is a custom build that I only made once.
You can't really make money with it, but it fits and works perfectly with the rest of the motorcycle.
There are quite a few things modified on the big girl that you can't see, but they improve the motorcycle in a positive way.

[KiwiCol]

I wasn't looking at that, just the trip meter, but that's a damn good ride!    It's getting to Ozzie distances / time.

This beauty

I rebuilt from scratch a few years ago, and a friend of mine bought it
— he still owns it today.

It has a very elaborate rainbow paint job that looks absolutely stunning in the sun.

I took these photos in the evening sunlight without any filter.
Simply amazing.

Yup, very nice indeed.   The rainbow effect is similar to the oil on water rainbow.

[Hooli]

I like that pearly/rainbow effect. Reminds me of the flick paint a few years ago.

[GSXKING]

I can't say I've ever seen a black (not a colour) with white wheels @Nasty. Did you paint them ? Or did you paint a B&W black ?

@GSXKING

As I already mentioned in my introduction, my motorcycles are built a bit differently – you can tell just by looking at the seat.

On top of that, there's another factor: my big girl clearly has the classic "female shoe gene defect." In other words, you can never have enough shoes.

That's why there's a pair in black, a pair in white, a pair in gold, and one very special pair polished to a high gloss, all ready and waiting.

[Nasty]

It's always a good thing to know your own limits.

But the reality is, they don't exactly improve with age – unfortunately.

The GSX isn't getting any lighter either, and at some point that might become an issue.

Still, I'd love to keep riding for as long as I possibly can – ideally until my very last day. That's why I've already started thinking ahead and made some preparations.

Anyone else here who's had similar thoughts?
Here's my solution:
