I am just curious on how some of these beauties spec out, is anybody else?
Sometime this weekend, hopefully, I want to try to figure out:
Overall length
Ground clearance
Seat height
Overall height
Weight (without rider)
And any other interesting measurements

Is anybody else as curious on these things as I am? It might paint a better picture on some of these bikes and how much some of us altered them in the name of rat rodding ;)
