    GAWD, I HATE WHEN PEOPLE BUILD SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE!!!

    I've ruined a lot of cars. Someone, somewhere didn't like them...I thought this was a hobby.

    We can fix it with the right tools. First we need his address and a large bat.

    The back sorta looks alright, but what is going on with the front? I've never seen that sort of set-up before.I bet if he painted the bike solid lavender with pearl silver accents, he could sell it to Prince, though:D

    You have to appreciate the fact that he had the balls to try something different. It's not exactly my cup of tea, but I do appreciate the effort that had to be put into it.

    If the thing runs and rides, then he gets points for the engineering of that front end. It ain't easy doing a one legger front! It kind of has a "lowrider bicycle" look, which would be cool on a stripped down bike.
    Now if it don't run or drive and is just rolling sculpture then, that is where it should be displayed, not at a bike show....

    I kinda dislike these kind of posts.....it's not an ugly POS...maybe ugly,, but definitely some nice fab work.
     
  19. Yep!

    I'm gonna hafta second that!

    phil:confused:
     
  20. Looks like it was built by a talented engineer and fabricator with A.D.D.

    Probably wouldn't be as bad if he or she had picked...idano... a style...

    There are so many different styles (and colors!), billet front wheel, attached to a single leg fork that looks like it's made with bathroom plumbing parts.

    If that front end was a little better integrated into the design, we be praising him for ingenuity. Think about it with a laced front wheel, no WWWs, and the frame black.

    it looks like he is polishing it, but then again he may be cleaning up his own vomit. i respect his (or at least someones ) fab. skills but you know that thing rides like ****.

    Single sided rear end too? I want to see the other side. Wonder how he wired the tail light? Visually I may not like the final result, but when I look at it can't help but wonder what else he's built and how many oddball engineering ideas he already has worked out in his head.

    Agreed.

    And how did he talk someone into making that front wheel for him? Might as well have little pink powder coated triangles for the spokes. Wow!

    I agree with JC though. I think the back half could be easily fixed with the money that one got from selling that front end in San Francisco. ;)
     
  24. If Ed Roth had built that... you guys would be creaming your shorts.

    Sheeple...

    Looks like a springer style front end @ the axle, I'd be afraid of the dreaded speed wobble with the single fork tube.

    you guys ****.

    his choice of colors may not be the best, but there is a ton of engineering in tha thing, most of the people that posted that it's gay couldn't engineer their way out of a paper bag.

    that front end is cool, so is the hidden springer suspension. and the tailight, and the fender strut. must be loud as hell though, look at them "pipes"!

    nay sayers, you got served!

    you kill me ray.
     
  30. True, but he would have designed the whole thing with a theme, that rear fender wouln't have been off a trailer, and front end would have more "style".
