I know It is OT but I gotta share this and I dont think any other theread would do justice the amount of passion, detail and love poured in what is other wise considerd a humble machine!

I was checking out this slick Taipei-based magazine Free Biker by editor Qing Chen when I was struck by this beautifully executed Honda Cub(or bajaj M80 as we know it) bobber!

You see we all live our lives dreaming about those absurdly powerful helicopter engine powered Y2Ks or the exquisite guzzis while not realizing the true potential or the beauty hidden inside the underdogs that we common people ride everyday. Heck most of us mortals don't even dare thinking of venturing into modding! And then guys like karthik and Qing come along just to remind us the true spirit of biking is trying our best to go fastest on our rusty old 50XL or achieving that look and feel which we alway wanted!

So, What is hard core? A cub turned into a chopper or a TVS 50 XL hitting 90's is the definition of hard core.
