The "drug user?" thread got me looking a Flea Boy (I try to avoid that, based on my current credit card balances!) and I came across this one.
OK, so I know that a chopper probably can't deal with the HP of a 26 year old Kawasaki, but WTF?
Claims it's the original frame (huh???? You mean, "this has the original factory steering neck", don't you?)
Custom exhaust (bet that made getting the carbs adjusted right easy!)
and what is it about "not a cookie cutter!"???????
OK, build what you want, but keep ugly to yourself!!!!!

Well, it's got pretty good braking. I see triple disk brakes which for a chopper is unusual but encouraging. Looks like the frame has been gusseted up which is another plus. Of course with just this one pic it's hard to say for sure it's not just an aesthetic molding job. The rear tire is not off some ATV or Formula Race Car so it might handle reasonably (mind you I said reasonably not good). It does not have a set of monkey bars (arm pit dryers :pinch:) so to me that is another +. Seat looks to be a nightmare but there are a lot of more tough asses out there than mine. I'm not really sold on the Mummy look for the headers either.:ohmy: So all in all without details or a better look I'd say this is a pretty good example of a chopper. I've seen far worse. A few just lately that were truly retching for my sensibilities. :whistle: But might be loved members of some family. Plus the fact that I wouldn't say "keep it to yourself" and post it for all to see while knocking it. :huh:

ewww God, WTF!
I'm sorry where this may offend some others that have been going the way of chopper (Bobber I'm cool with) but if you want a chopper than build a damn HD.
Damn that is just pitiful... :X
