Guess a sliver lining is that I haven't posted much yet on changes and tech that may/ may not be construed as "brick worthy"
It seemed '"brickworthy" to me. I think you were just in the neighborhood when it got bombed (locked). :giggles  Collateral damage. Maybe you're too sexy, too sexy for the board.  :yes Anyway, it's all cached on Google, including the images. There's always the Workshop—well, maybe not always, given current events.   :hehehe

Cappuccino Fetchers becomes Project Custom Motobricks

And it's back.
Went from Project K Bikes (a collective folder) to Cappuccino Fetchers (moderator's effort at humor) to current Project Custom Motobricks.
In the absence of any site notification of folders being down for maintenance or editing, why the heavy drama then?

Is it okay I don't go riding for fancy coffees?
Looks like cappoopooccino is OK, but no provision for espresso, nor latte.

I have to say - not sure I like pouring my handwork into a category classified as "Queered Out".  In other words, pretty stock and not queer at all.
Then put it in the other category, fer godsake, and hum to yourself until the banjos subside.

Cart it over there box by box. Queer is a lovely, classically descriptive adjective though. Embrace it. Revel in your bikes queered-outness. Maybe your cohort in this section will elevate their game.  :yes

Keep posting. All will be revealed in the fullness of time.

Do I sense thinly veiled hostility between mod and traditionalist. Put down those handbags at once girls and remember why we are all here. We all love the bike warts and all. I've already learnt so much from the posts from both camps (camp being an appropriate word to use) and find the forum a great resource. My K100 will be a queered out modified bitch. Out, loud and proud.

Queered out BMW pride rally anyone?

The penguin said, "No, no! That's ice cream, really!" Or something to that effect.

Queered out bike???  Not that there's anything wrong with that. :neener:   But it looks like the site structure has changed again to somewhat less divisive categories, which is now classic vs custom.  Personally this makes more sense to this audience and is perhaps less insulting to some.  My two cents, the hard work and expense I put into my stock brick is no more or less worthy than that of what someone puts into a highly modified brick.

Agreed Christopher, I am doing a custom job on an LT but it wasn't the most loved BMW ever to grace the street. There is a saying here in the civilised part of the world. "You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear".


Well that's utter bollox as many of the project's in these pages proove. The K100 is a great starting point for a custom project and one of the best value for money machines out there. On the other hand One of my neighbours has a K1100 in mint condition and it would be a crime to chop it up. There's definitely room for both in my eyes.


Queer is here but Straight is great.  :clap:




I will say however that this whole thread seems to have evolved from frustration and bruised ego's. I tried to make light of it, but I would suggest that anyone who has contributed looks back and read what they have written. Were you entirely fair?. Could you maybe be guilty of a little inverted snobbery?.


I say enjoy your bikes, enjoy this goldmine of information, and most of all Don't take it, or yourself so seriously. If you don't want to play get out of the playground.
