Errr..... don't the ball mounts on the bars suggest you fold them out before riding? Anyone see it being ridden?

Not to me.  There isn't enough range of motion to fold them out into a positions that's at all natural for a human.  Just by eyeballing it, out would place your hands so the left pointed at 10 and the right at 2, if you had your thumb stuck up  waytogo

As they sit in the photo it's a more natural position.

Also, if the ball mounts were free to move... that'd make it super hard to control since you'd loose any rigidity in the controls

Plus: the piss-cups are horizontal as is, so any 'unfolding' wouldn't help the fluid level Smiley

Controls make me think it should gain altitude if you pull back hard.  Also sort of bring to mind:

Don't suppose anyone has a picture of this bike that wasn't taken through the bottom of a glass coke bottle?

Just because you can do something, does not mean you should...

LOL!

I bet it runs into trees just as effectively as a speeder bike, too.  Now, if it just had lasers...

We were trying to figure out its weight...  The owner said it was WAY light, like 800lbs.

Bet its way fast too!

Ok now THAT is a real custom... he made everything on it... one giant hunk at a time!

I would love to see more production bikes like this... things that push the envelope of design... not just the same old...

So what's the pill looking thing  with the black clamp? It seems that the gas fill is up in that recess, so that pill's probably not gas.  It's got some tubing on it as a guage... though it looks dark - maybe oil tank?
