Hahahhaa. I don't think there are to many out there that could look quite as bad as this one. I'm thinking about keeping it looking like **** in the hope that it will stop people stealing it.
That idea has merit. There was a story many years ago in a magazine about a bloke who bought a new bike and poured oil over it and let it collect dust to make it very unattractive to thieves. He then washed it off when ready to sell it.
