    What the hell is this? I know the motor, seat, headlight, front wheel and grips are not original. It has spring loaded "training wheels" and front spring suspention. The fenders are made of fibergl***. I was thinking around the 40's to 50's era. Maybe a kit bike? Maybe homemade?

    I'd bet its a home built contraption. Kinda neat, like an ugly *** step sister that still kinda turns you on...just a little bit.

    Home made for sure....

    It must have the turning radius of a semi with the footboards where they are. Neat little **** though, I'd drive it.

    Between the footrests and the pipe...that would be one hell of a right turn! Ouch...I didn't need that skin on my calf anyway.

    Wow! Definitely home made.
    Friends, this is not simply a mechanical contraption, it's now folk art.

    I'm pretty sure it's a 1956 "Fat Hack Barhopper" [​IMG]

    Yeh, It's like a fat girl, fun to ride, but you don't want your freinds to see you on her. It will get up and go. The motor is a US Marine- Super Bee (7 hp) out of a rail saw. Railroad track rail that is.
     
  15. thats a BARHOPPIN FLOOZEMASTER II......fairly rare and gettin rarer.....
    has two unique features......rips you from bar to bar in a flash [even drunk as the traing wheels deploy automatically]-and the overly safe front brake sticks on if youve had too much to drink and it throws ya over the bars!

    I like it.

    It is anti-cool, which is the new cool.

    I think.
