What's funny is on this guy's site he says the "Bike is just about ready for a shakedown." Shakedown is right, I bet that puppy will shake the fillings out of your teeth. :laugh: :laugh: Of course with poor handling hardtail, goofy tires, and no front brakes their motto should be "Sacrifice Performance for Style" instead of "Sacrifice Comfort for Style and Speed" as their website says. :laugh: :laugh: I realize everyone has different taste and reasons for owning a bike, but I just can't get into the poser bikes that guys buy or build and never ride, so all their "creations" look silly to me. Let's face it, how far could a guy ride this thing (oooh my aching coccyx) :

I usually would agree with you, personally I would never own a bike that I couldn't ride the crap out of. However his fabrication skills, and creativity are top notch in my opinion, and this bike really struck me. Who else is building two-stroke custom framed choppers? From what I gather from his site, he is ONLY a fabricator, all of his bikes are delivered unpainted and unfinished and its up to the customer to tear it apart and paint it. The bike with out a seat you pointed out doesn't have grips or even a throttle on it, so obviously its not a runner yet. but yeah, if he tried to ride it with out a seat it would be brutal!

2-stroke triples were death traps in stock form. :whistle:
at least with this one you know by looking at it that you could die on it. :evil:
seems pretty up front to me,if you don't have the cajones stay away from it.
if you like some excitement in your life and want to make sure that it is "not your day to die" hop on and crank the throttle. :laugh:
slim does some killer fab work.
theres my .02 fwiw.
