No option for nice, but it can't make a u-turn on a 4 lane highway...

I like it, but is it even rideable?   I hate bikes that you can't ride.  That just seems silly.

And can someone explain to me how that steering stem isn't going to snap off when it hits it's first bump?  And the ergos?  What if you aren't 7 ft tall and can't touch your toes?

POS.

Figures the rednecks are behind this, just look at the headlight, I'm sure it gives a great view of the front tire.

As far as penis extensions go....... I like it.  Its very clean, not a whole bunch of flashy shit that seems to go on choppers these days....

What ever happened to the old ID mantra of "Form Follows Function"?

Lets spend lots of time, money and energy and design something that no one can make or use. [bang]

But it LOOKS cool as a poster..

I can kinda see it two ways:

1)  In my living room, on a mantle:  Hell yeah!

2)  In my garage, ready to ride:  Ummmm, no.

Craftsmanship: 9.5 out of 10
Ridability:         2.5 out of 10

I met the owner a few years ago in Laughlin.  After talking with him for awhile, I walked away shaking my head in disbelief of what spewed forth from his mouth.  The quality of the construction is ok -- but nothing truly that special in my opinion.  Waste of a great engine to be honest in that chassis.

The person who would ride that has a very large belly and cannot make the necessary bend to actually reach the controls.  Besides they weigh enough to break it in half just by sitting on it.

I like it.  It's better than that thing that whatsisname - Angelina's husband owns.  I think the springer front end is the only front end that might have a chance of working.  I kind of picture it as geared real tall.

I wouldn't build something like it but I liked looking at the picture.
