No, I don't like it much now either, but whoever built this has uncovered some interesting lines. Remove most or all of the bathroom acessories these were festooned with and you end up with a purposefull looking bike. As I've been discovering lately, a low powered bike with good tyres and springy bits can be husled along at a supprising rate. So much so that it can really unsettle riders of very sporty bikes not to mention run rings around expensive large engine cruisers.
This is all very exciting! These things are at the bottom of the heap along with CX500s and those Yamaha XS twins that exhuded an aura of beigeness. They're machines though and machines can be fixed to become characterfull and entertaining. Let's look at the Wet Dream again.
The builder/ exhibiter is probably going for the "diamond in the rough" appeal. The essence of biking lurking somewhere in the rat bike before you. This is fine if you like bikes but don't know much about them. It certainly works as an exhibit, but what if it had a pair of half decent forks, rear sets and good sticky tyres? The shocks look newish. What if you knew you could give it all the beans and hold that into the next bend with confidence? All that and then when you arrive, you can have a cuppa and admire the lines. Oh a double-entendre - I must be right!
