OK.....that actually made me laugh out loud.

Tom · « **Reply #2 on:** December 06, 2017, 03:51:43 PM »

I'm sure it appeals to someone.

I don't have the heart to tell him that a motorbike has two wheels.

clubman · « **Reply #4 on:** December 06, 2017, 04:49:15 PM »

Claims to have have ridden that bozzomobile 7700 mi. I guess you have to give him credit for that?

Lannis · « **Reply #5 on:** December 06, 2017, 05:05:51 PM »

The mutated dope they grow over there is getting powerful enough to be getting out of hand ....

No, he doesn't claim that. In fact other than the unlikely statement that it "rides like a dream" he doesn't say it's been ridden at all. He claims he has installed an odometer with the numbers 7700 showing. He's letting you infer the rest. Even if the ground-grinding bottom was capable of following a curve, the steering geometry would prevent it from turning.

I get the "streamliner" motif, but this reminds me of a penny-farthing bike in "drag."

Thx for posting.

If it had swangers, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

No matching teal "get back" whip?! Pffffft

Tom likes to laugh at things like this. After all, he owns all the Guzzies on the big island.
He's probably happy that thing is on a different island.

I'd being laughing too hard to keep control on one of my bikes.

redrider90 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 07, 2017, 11:48:35 AM »

I wonder it he has tackled the Hana Highway which has 620 curves in 60 miles on the ocean. Or better yet Crater road to the summit of
Haleakala. It's a 37 mile drive from sea level to the 10023 foot summit. It's the world's highest elevation gain in the shortest distance.

Tom · « **Reply #15 on:** December 07, 2017, 11:56:14 AM »

22 hairpins to the Haleakala summit. Fun on my Daytona 1000. Slower ride with the girlfriend at the time on the back of my Convert.

danomar · « **Reply #16 on:** December 07, 2017, 04:19:32 PM »

But seriously, how does it turn left or right? It looks as though one must get off and move the rear manually.

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #17 on:** December 07, 2017, 04:25:19 PM »

Do they have 'coons in Maui? If you are a 'coon hunter, you wouldn't need to take a flashlight to spot em in the trees. Maybe your hounds could ride in the bags?

I'm sure it will turn VERY slowly in either direction. It's for towns with a long straight Main Street.

You start at one end, riding very slowly along, looking at yourself in the store window reflections, knowing that most people that see you think that you're some kind of a badass (that wouldn't include anyone on WG, obviously!), revving your engine constantly to make a lot of noise and get more people to look, and when you get out of the built-up area, you slowly turn into a Lowe's parking lot, make a huge circle, and go back the other way.

This time you park it up on the side of the street, and absorb the adulation and compliments about what a badass bike it is, and what a badass you must be ("Are you a Hell's Angel? Bet that bike will go 150!"), and after closing time, ride it carefully home and shine it up for the next ride.

Except for the noise, no real harm it it.

shine it up

That's what I'm talking about. Check out that headlight aim. You could spot 'coons on the way home after a long night of posing at the bar. Unless, of course, that included going around a corner at a stop sign. "Gotta keep going straight..er..maybe I can duck paddle it around this corner." Woah! There's a 'coon..

Sorry. These clown bikes give me a pain. We used to go to Bike Week, spend a day laughing at the... oh, never mind.

Tom · « **Reply #20 on:** December 07, 2017, 05:23:20 PM »

Seems like a deal at $37K.

No "coons" out here.

These are starting to grow like weeds...I think there's a hydraulic lift in there somewhere...think bouncing low riders

I'm sure it has air suspension, but even a Shriner wouldn't ride that.

Tom · « **Reply #23 on:** December 08, 2017, 11:38:45 AM »

Good point on the air suspension. Too bad he doesn't have any pix on it. Still......$37K.......

Reminds me of the movie "Airplane".
"Do we have clearance, Clarence?"

at least he doesn't have to worry about scraping the floorboards.

This style must be the new "Where-its-at/Gotta Have/Look-at-Me" custom. I was driving past a local toy run staging area this past Saturday and there where three of these "Original" customs in the parking lot and one was just turning into the lot. Pretty weird looking machines.

Tom · « **Reply #28 on:** December 11, 2017, 11:39:00 AM »

I like it when they call them "choppers" and have no clue as to the build. Custom, yes. Chopper, no.
