Surviver or fooked..

[Pooch]

Where do you draw the line? Think there's more pressure on people to keep as a survivor these days.. I like the look of a used bike, but not one that's just hanging in there.
Must say that it is nice to do a minter. 

[That Swan Guy]

I've done a couple that I wish I'd kept as survivor.

Now I've got a factory spec survivor (except brake blocks) and I love it, especially the rust

[Andy68]

Fook that....... I just love your helmet!!!   

......... 'nice to do a minter'??!!!! 

Nick, let me 'distress' a few of yours.

I'd love to do the Zeronine.. Just as a project, but that would be wrong. 

[CustardLips]

Think an healthy mix of both is good... survivors and minters that is.
Prefer survivors myself like.

Have you got a Zeronine John?

Don't even think of stripping that bad boy, biatch

I love a survivor bike & have a few kicking about. My feelings are,something like this needs a resto


Where as this needs to be left well alone



Too many og bikes have been lost, I understand people want a gleaming show bike but some of the bikes that have been restored/split up needlessly is a right fookin shame. There's plenty out there & if you want a minter buy the roughest example of what you want & leave the og stuff alone

P.s that pic of the Airzone makes it look better than It really is 😀😀😀

[dordymush]

I'm weird but I like the top un 
I done the nos builds at the start but all my bikes now are survivor
The minters do nothing for me these days. Love a bit of rust and scrapped sticker lol.

agreed ..

far too much powdercoating goes on though. its up to the individual but too much history and character ending up in a pile on the floor.

Fookin sheds all of em!!!! You should be ashamed of yaselves and get em powdered!!! 

Had a look on ebay last night and the amount of polished Tuf Neck stems etc is a fookin shame. If I was rich I'd by 'em all and get the machined finish back on 'em.

I heard you sneaked around at night breaking into people's sheds so you could put Oakley stickers on their saddles

Depends on what it is and how original you want to keep it.  I kept my RSR as a survivor, new inner tubes, replaced the knackered rims, patched the holes in the tyres and put on a new brake cable, new grips to replace the completely knackered ones and a set of new frame pads.  My Scorpion got the full restoration treatment as I wanted to build it like the one I had bitd.

I must admit the RSR gave me a lot of food for thought as I was very tempted to rechrome, and go the replace everything route but I think by keeping it as a survivor it's retaining its character and history and given how rare they are I think that's important.
