QUOTE

Just thought you guys might like to know Dave Mirra is riding a Bike that He and Haro had Gold Plated . Word is it cost $7000.00 to plate he split the cost with Haro . This is something Dave has been talking about doing for a while . He has everthing plated Stem , Brakes , Bars , Frame , forks Cranks etc. The only thing he didnt plate is the seat and seat post and spokes . He had to put a different lever on because the plated one stripped out . Anyway he has left NC For X Games and is planning on riding the bike at this years X Games .

You don't think they exagerrated the cost of plating his bike for PR purposes, do you? Imagine....

Tacky or not, the shine and glare on film for dvd / video etc as the bike is captured........or from a distance as a spectator as the bike does its stuff will be something unique......

Reminds me of old times and a good friends atc 250 r with plated everything.........it did look good flying through the air....

Personally money no object i'd want a platinum machine (duller than silver, no polishing required and a great colour)........with diamonds (for the sparkle) inserted on headset, crank, and a few other obscure places (such as under bb) - smart and different but not a stand out that says look at me.....

That bike is sweet shame he stacked so bad in his first run at this years X Games

All you haters lol if it was a pic of woodys trickstar you'd be all over it

retrorider.u.k · « **Reply #20 on:** August 07, 2005, 04:10 PM »

spot on but woodys was the original.thats the whole point. :o

MeddlE · « **Reply #21 on:** August 07, 2005, 05:18 PM »

Nah, that looked chav too (and it was before chav's existed. Does this mean Woody invented Chav's or was he the first Chav?)

I think he probably was the first chav, especially with that dodgy moustache, he was pretty crap on a bike to I always thought

They were quite a few riders who scammed a living from riding, but they were shit too, they just new how to pose for a good photo for the magazines
