I JUST LOVE SUBTLELY TWEAKED STOCK RIDES . . . AS MUCH AS I DIG FULLY WILD, ONE OFF CUSTOMS . . . SOMETIMES A WEE BIT OF FINE TOOTHED FUCKIN AROUND ON A NEAR STOCK BIKE CAN RESULT IN SOME SERIOUSLY 'BAUHAUS' INSPIRED SIMPLICITY THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT . . .
THE CYCLE ZOMBIES BLOG HAS CURRENTLY POSTED A FEW SHOTS OF A '69 XLCH THAT THE YOUNG TURK IN QUESTION HAS UP FOR SALE . . . AND IT'S A STONE COLD, SWEET AS A NUT KILLER !!! STRIPPED TO NAUGHTY NAKED NUDE STATUS, IT REPRESENTS THE BARE BONES, BUILT FOR SPEED AND FUNCTION AESTHETIC THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH A STOCK BIKE AND HAVE IT STAND OUT IN ANY LINE-UP YOU'D CARE TO MENTION . . . JUST LIKE THE GREAT POST WAR TINKERERS AND TWEAKERS USED TO DO . . .
I'd rather be riding the Turk's bitchin little skirtster than any number of poorly executed, uglier than shit on a stick choppers, bobbers, chobbers, boppers and flobbers that I see plastered all over the interweb with regular, mind numbing monotony . . . any bike, car, boat or other bit of machinery is about balance and a fully harmonious appearance borne of its intended role in life, every component working off each other to ceate an aesthetic 'whole' that is at once clean, flowing and totally organic . . . . form following function all the way !!!
Man, if I were domiciled in the Land of The Free, I'd be brave and bold and buy that perty li'l fucker as quick as you could say 'mine', no, it's nothing new, it's not all 'hand made' wizardry, it's simply simple and in these old eyes, it's that simplicity that elevates this particular Stopnik Special well above the mundane and ordinary !!!
Sadly, I live half a bloody planet away so all I can do is suggest somebody get onto the young guru Turk Stopnik immediately, don't haggle too hard, fork out the greenbacks and make this gorgeous '69er yours . . . I reckon you'll be one happy son of a son of a sailor !!!!
