"Kill me fast".

Even the bike wants to be put out of its misery.

$99K for a 1098?!?!?!  Are you kidding me?  You can almost pick up a D16 for half of that

Oh my god.  I think I just had a seizure looking at that.

Yeah, but the D16 wasn't painted by world renowned artist Hornsleth .  .  .
Worst part is there are apparently more - the ebay ad "boasts" this is #2 of 10 produced!

W-T-F

Nothing a rattle can of flat black can't fix.

World renown? Couple minutes on Google and I didn't find one thing about a painter by that name...

This is a $99k 1098 proper...    http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=32272.0 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=32272.0)

It looks like He Man had it and left it parked somewhere  [laugh]

ducpainter doesn't charge extra to fix ugly

That guy is a tool.

Come on, Cutter.....why you gotta be hatin' on tools like that?  This guy isn't a tool.  Tools are useful.  This guy is an ass, ruining a perfectly good 1098 like that. 

I'd pay $100 grand for a custom-painted (but otherwise bone-stock) 1098.

well, if this guy did it

I didn't know DP started waxing his 'stache...

There are all kinds of reasons to go the outrageous route.

I think it looks kinda cool.

Price is right if it came with a half dozen bikes free.

I'd probably buy a 1098 painted by these guys as well (as long as we are playing the I'm filthy rich game)

Yeah but if you'd pay 99k for the bike that rattle can would probably cost 3k and who can afford that these days?

How about his Bar?  [evil]

That thing is pregnant dogin... Thats a REAL custom.. Look at all the thought that went into design, fabrication and build time. Its not like he just opened up a catalog and "checkbooked" every pregnant dogin part out of it to build his custom...

Ok.. it looks like shit, but from reading his bio, he is just way beyond me, and I dont "get him" I must not be artistic enough...

Wow, he uses swears to title his exhibits.  That's so edgy.  [roll]

The fact that he makes fun of the Ed Hardy types and their impact on the marketplace is kinda funny since he's part of the system and makes a ton of money off it even while calling out how absurd it is.  It's like a politician saying, "All I do is lie and take bribes," but still getting re-elected.

So, while you could buy a 1098 and get that paintjob for free by riding it to any city, some idiot will actually pay retail for all ten of these.  And Hornsleth will keep laughing all the way to the bank.

All these so-called artists, who try to make money off their creations, are scam artists in various degrees.
