Bunch of companies make nice 5 piece braces. That way you get the fenderless look, and increase the function. Win-Win

You sir are looking at this with either rose colored glasses, or just ignorant on the subject.

Right. Chances are this was just bought to play with for a summer. The hipster moved onto another fad.

It shows that the owner doesn’t understand how things work and only worried about copying a look.

On a smaller bike like this with toothpick forks a good rider can tell the difference on the street during normal riding. Does it make the bike unsafe or bound to kill the rider? Probably not, well no more then 45* of camber will on a 370Z.

Like I said, I am not debating the looks.
Fact is that the fender acts as a brace. Removing it makes the function worse. I get that some just don’t care. They just want to play dress up in a parking lot. They ride 25 miles a year max. But the worry is that some that just don’t know any better will not understand the…

It isn’t really a sensibility though. I am talking about understanding what makes a motorcycle work.

That might be. I will say that looking at a motorcycle with car experience can cause issues. There is a lot of function on a motorcycle that car guys don’t get.

Nope, just a clueless hipster that wants to play café dress up.

Least of the worries

Didn’t even get into the joke about “pre mix” on these things.

Correct. Taking away function for no real reason

“A” RD400 is a great bike and $3k isn’t a terrible price.

You very much lack focus here. I never said every man was on their own. What I did say is that every man is not worth the effort to help. Very different concept here. Now you just devolve into wild language. Cant argue better then that?

Note, fully focused here.

Only the poor are "sick" with drug addition? Focus here.

NO, the point of "civilized society" is to work together to form a baseline or average. Some fall so far below average that they are not worth the effort. It is purely natural.

Up, I did dirtbag things and was lucky.

Suprized? You found a Hipster car on a Hipster show? These really aren’t car videos, more hipster lifestyle ones.

Hit the nail on the head. Freely admit that I did some things, that with the benefit of hindsight were fairly high on the “epically stupid” scale. I lived to tell the tail. What does that change?
