Ask yourself this question...If a bike is in "shambles" is it even safe enough to be strapping a motor to it???...I wouldn't...An ill prepared, shambles, bike is no bike to even be pedal riding, let alone motor driven...Just saying.

Hey, don't talk about my bike that way

The funny thing about a "shambles" is that most people in this day and age don't even know what that is.

In Elizabethan English, a shambles was a meat market, butcher shop...Those suckers must have been an awfully "pretty" sight in those days since most people in this day and age DO NOT know what the word shambles even means...lol...it is meant to be a really nasty, disatrous, mess of a sight...lol.

It's actually pretty different from most builds I see on the forum. While most try for nice details and slick paint work, you have achieved a madmax meets water world theme.

This bike has grown on me.

"Shamble" in the singular tense, without the "S" ending to it does not convey the same meaning.

Same with "shambled" as in "He was last seen stumbling down the road as he just "shambled" along" in a drunken, disheveled fashion.
