Looks like  Jessie Rook thing. Was Moto Guzzi / Piaggio at the show ?

[Johncolleary]

No They were not at the show this was in the custom bike competition.  Guess they misplaced a decimal point on the CC's

[ken farr]

I dunno.

I saw it at the show, and while I can appreciate the work that goes into them,  the whole Custom thing leaves me flat.

There is a guy at work, that is trying to sell his metric custom for big $$, and his default is IT'S CUSTOM.....

...which translates to me as, I cut the rear frame off, so you cannot bring it back to anywhere near stock, and it's f***ing ugly....


then again, I have been told I am less than enlightened....

I tend to agree with you Ken.

I really appreciate the basic shape of the that bike and would love it if it had about a 250cc thumper in it. The Guzzi motor seems wrong in there to me. But somebody loved it enough to build it.

Can you imagine the burnouts with an 11,000 cc engine and that skinny tire on the back?

I guess it's interesting as a showcase for workmanship but I don't get spending a crap load of money on a motor and sticking it into something completely un-ridable. An empty case would have been just as good for all the use it will get. and what is up with the engine color? Looks like something from a 1950's kitchen appliance.
