This thing is horrible! Why are people bidding on it?

Look close at the work...the frame, the swingarm....I wouldnt trust that thing over 10 miles an hour!

To each his own...custom bikes are hard to sell...one man's vision of cool is difficult to sell to another...it won't reach the fellows reserve.

From the desciption:

This bike is 100% custom and turns heads like you wouldn't believe.

Yeah, but probably not for the reasons he imagines.

I bet it handles like a freight train.

That is got to be the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen. I wouldn't even call that a motorcycle.

To be honest, from an artistic view, I think these choppers are pretty cool to look at. It amazes me the engineering and design that can go into a custom chopper...

However, I would never have one myself as I like to "ride" bikes, and why would you ever buy a bike that needs a 9 point turn to go the other way? And why would someone spend $20000 plus on a bike? I would rather have a few older bikes and a boat

Don't you just love those exposed sprockets on the jackshaft right between the riders legs?

I'm not impressed with the engineering or construction of the bike, and would not be interested in riding it, I think I'd rather walk

Dan Gurney designed a bike and I think it was called the Gator. This looks like a take off on that. But the Gator was supposed to work pretty good. This is one bike that is made to go nowhere. It's basicly a Lava Lamp. Looks good but has no other uses. Unless one is very stoned. Some talent went into the making of it but the talent would have been better spent on a different project.

Did anyone else notice that there is no chain on it. I may be wrong but from those pictures it looks like there is no way to get a chain on it. Looks like the frame would be in the way of the chain. Probably the real reason he is selling it.

That would be like riding a go cart. The seat is like 10 in off the ground. AT a stop light you could put your hand down to hold the bike up. It is visually appealing but I agree with others who say they would never own or ride it.

Yea I don't get that sprocket thing either... it looks like a rod that goes through the frame with a sprocket on either end but nothing connected to it... I guess you could sit on it go "vrooom--vrooom" then get off and walk back inside... what a bike...

i dont know man,i think we need a picture of your butt for a side by side comparison! that thing is just plain ugly!look at the birdshit welding job on the exhuast:sick: the sprocket run right into the exhuast! judging from what welds you can see im afraid to think whats under the 2" of bondo smeared all over the frame! im gonna go out side and rub dog crap in my eyes so i can get the vision of that bike out of my head!
