AKA: Things we wish we could do in real life without having to face the consequences.

Original Pretenders died young and stayed pretty. Too bad they left so soon.

One of my all time favorite musicians !...i have no idea why, i just loved this guy ....still sad he got swept away in addiction !

How much you want for it?

lets burn a valve

Motorcycle racing makes car racing look wimpy.

Why not brushless motors?

Couple few things. First, if you built all that yourself, pretty cool little project 👌 Two, not very good coming to a complete stop at that intersection with people walking around and their pets. Tree, that poor Triple has no infamous soul anymore 😢 And lastly, Cuatro, a 10 second 0-60 was not worth the loss of that poor triple 😖

Sounds much better, anything you can do to repair/refurbish the old brushes in order to use them again or have as a backup?

Feet-up slide. He would be right at home on a mile flat-track.

Can make better video

Di più che in moto gp. Sono pazzesche le derapate in questa categoria

Closer to the center line this time though!

Nice video, but correct for the centre line, don’t be like the majority of lazy pilots on KZbin these days! Glad to see some fellow XP pilots out there 👍

Little off the center line there Captain. :p Well done!

The Pretenders 1st album is a Desert Island Classic must have....the band was on FIRE!!!!

He feeds my soul with the one good that keeps people alive: truth. Hard, ugly, essential, mind-cleansing TRUTH. God bless him. God bless the technology that shares these banquets.

Are the emgos louder than straight pipe? It's hard to tell on video

I had that bike in the same color. Great to see it. Still remember that two-stroke sound

I had a 72. Wonderful bike

Ahh yeah, I remember that rattle, I used to have an RD 350 maroon colour. What a wheelie machine it was ;). And what a poser I was on the back wheel, the police never did catch me as I passed them on the back wheel. ;) But police in England aren't as tough as they are here in the states........ohh well.

Wow, that mom's biceps muscle is huge for her size.

My son is testimony to that. His country is his prison .....

Nah, git faaaaarked!

That sound is Incredible

This guy can play the bass. Every member of the original Pretenders lineup is underrated.

Very nice

I don't know, but you should figure that out. That would make it hard to fly!

Any chance on a how to build the seat cowl out of pvc ? Thanks awesome bike.

I loved Pete Farndon. Gone wayyy too soon. RIP

R O C K

Pretenders first Lp was the second album I ever bought 1981-82 not sure exactly. but I wore it out on an old BSR turntable.

He is bigger than she is. But look at her muscles ripping. Does she lift weights ?

Damn, that's badass...

thats amazing, time to rematch :)

Next 7 time motogp champ????

Has he been taking notes from Casey Stoner. Loo

aggressive run🔥

RIP Pete

The original Pretenders was a beast of band. Wish they could've kept the plot. They were just getting started.

Looking good so far Jon.

That is one bare naked speed triple...good luck with the build, off to a great start.

still helpful years later

One of the Classics I always come back to..

Good mom

Hey Mate.. those emgo tapered exhausts are pretty sweet sounding. Suit the characteristic of the bike. Just wanted to find out how loud are they in person as you can never get a real world sound through KZbin. On a scale of 1 to 10 .. 10 being uncomfortably loud. They seem to have a Bassy Rumble. Don't seem to see many of these on Bonnevilles , I wonder why. Cheers!

Where did you get the lights from ?!

Ha! I remember seeing this on TV in 80-81 and thinking Pete Farndon was obviously the coolest fucker alive.
