Motorcycles are joy; full stop. If you're reading RideApart, you probably already at least suspect this to be true. But beyond even that basic observation that we like to treat as fact, there's an extra-special, super-secret (or maybe not-so-secret) joy in the forbidden.
The kind of joy that only comes from doing something you've been told repeatedly that you shouldn't do. Maybe that's just riding motorcycles in the first place, but maybe that's making a bike do something it wasn't made for. Like, say, taking a Honda Gold Wing out and flogging it as an enduro bike. Or launching a Suzuki Hayabusa to conquer Hell's Gate. Chances are excellent that you've seen one or both these things if you've been around the moto Internet in the past couple of years.
And if you're this specific type of reader, then you probably already know that Matt Spears is the guy behind both those builds, as well as their ensuing videos.
