Like I keep saying... Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

I just posted on the "Hypersexual Disorder" thread. You know what I'm thinking when I see that photo.

Hm. The guy sure looks happy. Good for him. I do hope I never have to see that again, though.
It's tasteless beyond measure and quite hideous, also. And fairly pointless in my opinion. Bikes are supposed to looks like bikes and just look ridiculous if they are made to look like something else.
But the workmanship looks fairly impressive. If the OCC drama queens had tried building a "Jaguar" themed bike, it would just have had lots of Jag ornaments and stuff. This is actually a quite thorough interpretation of the whole theme-bike concept.

if, by workmanship, you mean building an almost un-turnable death trap, that truly is excellent workmanship. I cringed watching him almost punch that thing into every guard rail around every corner he took. Happy? sure when he was going straight. He looked flat out frightened when he was circling the round about at 15 mph and constantly taking his foot off the peg. perhaps he just sux as a rider,i don't know . . . but he sure looked spooked to me.

Workmanship and engineering are two different things. Just consider big boondoggle weapons system. They never work as advertised, but they are sure put together neatly.
What impressed me is that this doesn't look like someone just put a big fiberglass lash-up on a regular frame but it all kinda looks purpose-built, fitting together right, no bit bits sticking out. No regular bike looking a bit sad underneath. Stupid it may be, but it's stupid well-done.

Didn't have time to watch the vid yet, youtube is, for some reason, slow as fuck. And he doesn't look particularly startled in the image. On second inspection, maybe not as happy as I first thought, when I spent more time looking at the bike.

Also, I just realized that this would totally lend itself to promoting a Thundercats movie.

Youtube just got it's act together.

50 mph - seriously??
Okay, not enough weight on the front wheel...but still, not even a steering damper or something? Couldn't he even lie to the TV crew?

That bike is ugly. It is so fucking ugly, it's the ugliest goddamn bike i've seen in a long, long time. But, it is so fucking ugly that it is cool. That dude put work into creating that hideous piece of shit, and it's not some big dollar gimmicky occ shop bs, it's a handmade underpowered ugly bike. So I give it a thumbs up.

He has also built:

I'm sure riding the bull motorcycle also looks like coital relations with an animal.

Apparently he's heard that before, because there is this disclaimer on his site:

"These concepts are my artistic representation of the logos and in no way do I wish to deface or ridicule them. I am just showing that it's possible to use each logo in a unique way and to incorporate them into a functional piece of machinery."

But really... look at the seat area! Is there any way you would swing a leg over that? At least it doesn't have rearsets, so maybe it doesn't look overly obvious that you're grinding into bull butt.

If you were to register the bike, would you also have to register as a sex offender?

Read my signature line.
Replace "Multistrada" with any vehicular image previously seen in this thread.
