I believe there would still be some cultural resistance to overcome!

Whether a bobber or lowrider, or something else, I am not sure, but I did contribute to the build of 'Slo Poke', a very low slung and long 612 cc machine. I took responsibility for the engine and wheels, mainly, as well as gritting my teeth [and getting my backside soaked at times] for possibly a total of a few hundred miles on it, in all.

I’ve never owned a two wheeler of any sort, motor or leg powered, that didn’t have mudguards. I was quietly smiling to myself on Sunday at one particular mountain biker at the cafe at Ladybower reservoir who had all the latest fashion clothing. He was strutting about, judging from his attitude to everyone around him he thought he was the coolest man on the planet. Except due to a lack of a mudguard on his bike, from behind he looked like he was suffering from a very severe case of toilet trouble.

Hi, serious Question , were the construction and use laws changed? as I seem to remember 70s cafe racers being prosecuted for skimpy front mudguards and noisy exhausts but now!!!!! Vince

Vince,

probably more police around then... Today's police might still pull you over for a loud 'zorst but I suspect the usual bobber styling "distinctives" are of less concern unless something is blatantly un-roadworthy.

Paul,

I think we're in danger of losing the joke!

Joke - who's joking? I am almost ready to destroy - er, I mean create - another masterpiece. I have even 'Bobbed' the grinder and sledgehammer, for good measure, after all, if we can manage without 'guards ...

[Wheaters]

You could make two projects or more from that. Surely, the next logical step is a pair of mudguards with nothing in between.

Paul par excellence, your build standards have not lowered one jot.

priit.

Priit, thank you - it's been a long time!
