Post by: Slide Panda on June 24, 2009, 04:01:28 PM
Quite a custom bike.. Not pretty, but impressive in a creepy way

Well, it's been done before. Maybe not to that extent, but still...

Really? ???

That's technically impressive. A lot of work has obviously gone into it.

I just can't really see why, nor what sort of person would actually want to ride that.

Maybe I just don't get it. Maybe it's not "for me."

It wouldn't be the first time...

I'm with zarn.  I don't care for the look of it, and wouldn't ride it personally.  But I can appreciate the skill and effort that went into it.  It's a detailed and very complete execution of a concept.

Why wouldn't there be spark plugs on the skull headlight?!?!

It's so out there I can't help but love it. 

I wouldn't spend money to have it, or ride it, but I love it nevertheless ;D

That about sums it up... why not.  Hell, they are probably drilled out and actually are running power for the headlight and brain implants.

When it was living it appears to be a Honda VF750 Magna, which wasn't that bad for a midsize power cruiser.

Not my thing... but great talent. I wish they used it for something a little less ridiculous.

The Magna was ahead of its time.  It was really fast but only had a single disc in the front and a drum brake in the rear.  I had straight pipes on mine and it sounded like a thousand chainsaws!  Here's what I did to mine:

Good place to get some flesh if you crash.
