Likely double their asking has been put into it sadly. I wonder how it handles the twisties... :azn:

*Shudder*  :shocked:

Seriously, though, aside from being hideous, I will NEVER understand people putting spiked/spike shaped accessories on a bike.

I wonder if the bumps on the seat have a similar feel to a beadrider.
It's nice to have options.

I'd put any bike sporting a windjammer fairing up against that in an ugly competition.

here is the opposite end of the custom bike spectrum, a little more to my liking, but it has no rear brake.

Years ago, little kids liked being cool and riding a Big Wheel.  Lots of good but old ideas suffer in the translation.

Big wheels, donks, whatever you call them.  They'll come and go like so many other fads imho.  The young guys renting the shop have big ambitions to do apehangers & big wheel jobs.  I think they're a little late to that party but it will be fun watching young people with ambition play the motorcycle shop game.  While they live and learn (or not..), they're proud of their bikes & riding.  That's the whole point.

Artwork has no need for brakes, electricals, hoses or even engine internals.

Seems like all these ads for silly bikes for silly money say that they have an "automatic transmission".   Don't the owners know any better or does the software make it easy to screw up the ad?

Technically speaking, the ugly hog is art, too. It evokes plenty of emotions albeit loathsome ones. Maybe the builder was trying to echo classical themes like Picasso's Guernica or something by Botticelli for Dante's Inferno, ya think?

I wouldn't own it. I wouldn't ride it, but I like to look at bikes that I couldn't design. I've seen bikes that are purely show when they have a gold chain and so much impractical stuff. I like 'em all. Well now some of this modern art is waaay beyond me.

That is horrible. I can usually find something to like on most custom bikes....this one ....no redeeming qualities

(clears throat, takes a deep breath, and begins ...)

"I would not deign to pass judgment on any person's sense of aesthetics or of artistic quality.   All artistic creations have their place, and this one obviously was the pride of the creator's garage.   I can especially appreciate the craftsmanship, metal-working skills, and .... and ... "

(gags and chokes)

No I can't go on.   That's as ugly as a stomped possum

You see a lot of bikes like this in the Phoenix area, especially Cave Creek. This bike would fit right in with those you see parked at the Hide Away or Roadhouse in Cave Creek.  I would never own one, but they are becoming commonplace around here.

Actually, my wife thinks her non-releasable rehab opossum named Layla is pretty cute.  She has one eye that was popped when we got her about a year ago from being stomped or bashed with a shovel which also caused significant brain damage, a bb still lodged in her jaw, numerous broken bones plus other injuries..

My wife is an official USDA registered & inspected opossum rehabilitator and Layla (pictured above) is formally credentialed as an educational ambassador helping people learn that they don't need to stomp possums.

I realize that is an extremely high dollar bike but personally I wouldn’t trade my 1400 tourer or 83 CB1000c for it if I had to keep and ride it.

Usually, "not for the inexperienced rider" means "handles like frozen horse crap"...
And, what is a "grip-sex-haust", precisely?

Please let the Possum Police know that no actual possums were harmed in the generation of this thread.   The stunt possum is treated very well and is always under ASPCA ("P" for Possum in this case) auspices and supervision.  :police:

Good thing I didn't say "Busier than a three-balled tomcat", I guess ....  :azn:

How would you know about the rear brake?  Is there an image of the left side?

BTW, this is a Photoshop rendering.  I doubt it exists in meatspace.
