Gentlemen, start your angle grinders!

Here we go.

Over the next couple of months, I'll be sharing (cause sharing is caring) my experiences while turning my run of the mill Husqvarna SMR 570 into a "street tracker". If you have similar plans to follow me!

I'm not sure where I first saw this image, but I remember sitting for hours just staring at it. Talk about form follows function. There is nothing on this bike that doesn't serve a purpose. No chromed crap and no CNC:d bling bling. And those wheels... After googling furiously for the rest of the night, I finally found out that it's a C&J racing, purpose built "framer" with a Buell Blast engine and Morris magnesium wheels. That it was assembled by Sundance of Japan, and that a similar one would cost in excess of $20.000. Hm... There must be a cheaper way, I heard a little voice in my head saying. Well, that assumption is still to be proved wrong, I console myself as I hit yet another "Buy it now"-button on eBay.
