Yeah the frame is pretty trick. I appreciate the work but man I would not swing a leg over it  :-\

Does it qualify as a ghetto-sled if it's only got two wheels?

I generally avoid making eye-contact with the locals.  They usually interpret that as "take my purse".

Someone made the effort to get it painted, get a little chrome--OK, a LOT of chrome, got some serious welding done, smacked on some slap (yeah, I actually know what the speakers on a bike are called--thank you BARF) and all sorts of fancy shizznit.  Hell, I can barely be bothered to clean my chain, let alone do something that might be considered even remotely creative with my bike (wait, does creative crashing count?)

This one time, in the marina...

 I saw this kind of thing pull over and park in a red zone. 4 really really fat dudes with gold chains dismounted and stretched on the sidewalk while their stereo made all the skinny blond girls' ears bleed. Stretched, you know, like yoga, there on the sidewalk next to their gold fleck painted thing with massive wheels and thumping rhythm. As if Jane Fonda herself was there directing. Then they just walked away and left it there, stereo blasting, like an art installation.

I would've gone up and changed the music to classical or something.

I love the foresight on placement of the head unit! Do anything more than roll it around and you force feed it all the road debris/grime it can handle!!  [laugh]  [roll]

That enhances the bass response.

Couple of years ago during motogp, my buddy and I were leaving cannery row and came up to these mullet-dudes with stretched/slammed/blinged R1's; giant rear tires.  Light turns green and we make the left behind these guys and they barely made the turn.  Florida plates.

I must say I really don't understand this stuff. Why put all the money and effort into your bike and then not actually be able to ride it. I can see this stuff with cars as you can generally still drive it and stuff when your done. But on these bikes it's just plane crazy.  :o

I don't have to see this kind of stuff here on the north coast. Someone said those things cant make the turn. It's probably what happens to them on their trip behind the redwood curtain. They just go off the side of the bluff never to be seen again.  ;D Yayyy!!!
