The amount of stretch on that thing has the front wheel and the rider existing in 2 separate time zones while riding. His front wheel would be home 1/2 an hour before he left the bar...

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

I would love to drive up with it to German TUEV inspection. They would probably all drop dead at the sight of this vehicle.  :)

Watch him...you can see he has to lean his head to the left and right to see straight ahead. Definitely a head turner :)

But, guys, he's wearing a helmet...he's safe! Right. As soon as he has to make a quick maneuver to avoid an accident he's road-pizza.

Nah, when the front wheel hits something he's still got several minutes before the rest of the bike makes contact, so he's good.

There's already so much flexion in that front end that I would be surprised if it doesn't bottom out the frame if/when he hits a speedbump on it.

If he waves to a moped guy, then the moped guy will pull a fast and furious stunt and change lanes going under that bridge on wheels just to scare him $hitless :P :P
