Downside is the innevitable name change...I could embrace something like Rado8.5, or GuzziPat..but I don't think I could reply to a screen name of DonGoldenAss and still look you in the face...
So, what would you rename Bandit12 if he were to sell the BanditBeast and get an Eldorado?

Well I would call him Lucky - loopframes are sweet. By the way - the bike in the picture is an ambassador (750cc version of the eldo).
I am currently building a '71 ambo bobber.

Given the nature of some people to have more than one bike, or change bikes fairly regularly, associating a tag with a bike seems to not be the way to go. So howabout one of the traditional names?
Fluffy?
Sumo?
RevLimitBouncer? RLB?
VOR........?
oh this could get rediculasssssssss

My vote goes to something like Fluffy or FluffyBunny...
But this pic:
seems to inspire a title more like AngryProctologist

Pouring a little oil into the fire of the old rumor that the Guzzi twin was originally intended for a cement mixer:

according to my past experiences with guzzi and guzzi riders
THE ELCTRICIAN or THE CABLE GUY would suit well
or the "guy formely known as the guy with a starting bike"

Good to know (seeing as how I'm not well versed in Guzzi). I just copied the pic Bandit posted on the other page. Thanks! Show us pics in progress of your bobber, eh?
(BTW - where in NYC? I may be there over the holidays.)

No worries - nice to see another loop. I'll post some pics when I she gets a little further along. I live in Long Island City, Queens.
Some motorcycle related places to check out while you are here -
Bar Matchless
http://www.barmatchless.com/ - they have bike night on mondays - not sure how big it will be if you're here in december. Owned by a few really good mechanics who raced with Team Obsolete - they built the place themselves. Really good vibe. Lots of old and odd rides. You might even catch Dave Roper there -only american to win the Isle of Man and a brooklyn resident.
Moto
http://www.circa1938.com is also nearby - owner has a crazy collection of cool old bikes.

Mind you, it's a joke.

Love the cartoon! But what does that make fore-aft V-twins??
or a Honda CBX for that matter??
Oh and as for the name, I've always like his old nick of Sumo.

Hmmm....the fore aft would probably be a really twisted sister...
as for the CBX....either Catwoman or Excentrica Gallumbits, the tripple breasted whore of Eroticon 7.
