The £300,000 gold plated chopper

Take a look at the latest in golden bling - fresh from the States

Posted: 9 July 2008
by Visordown News

WHAT WOULD you do with £300,000? Buy a new house? Have the holiday of a lifetime? Sort out the next few years of your life? How about building a chopper with it?

This hideous overstatement of wealth has gone on display at the Seattle Motorcycle Show and features nearly $500,000 of highly polished gold and silver components.

Very flash - in a 'pikey wins the lottery' sort of way.

You might want to consider restoring the watermark and crediting the original photographer for his work. Image theft is considered bad form by some folks.

You might want to consider posting this on the thread thats already been started instead of posting up more crap threads.

Instead of jumping to conclusions you might also want to consider that the mods get sent lots of photographs of bikes to post and someone else may have removed the watermark.

Ditto on it being bad for the crop out the watermark. As a photog it seriously offends me that you would steal work from someone like this.

  Mea culpa. I'm not familiar with this forum interface. I thought I was commenting on the picture, not realizing I was initiating a thread.

 One might assume that something posted under a heading of "news" in a forum so closely associated with a major publication would be held to something approaching journalistic standards. Perhaps I misunderstand the relationship between TWO and this site.

Where's the photo...?

I want to see the bike and it's supposed bling!

There's a link in the title - just don't be another photographer who's going to go off on one.
