I've seen a lot worse....It's 'stock' so can't be all that bad.

It's more of an "Art" piece than a motorcycle...I don't mind it, he's done his own thing which is what we are all doing on this site.

In fact, I'm going to invite him to join.......    :D

My thoughts exactly! 

It's creative, original, and I am sure it would make a great conversation piece.  He even has in his ad that it would be great for a Mexican Restaurant.  As well, I'm sure it took quite a bit of bike "know how" to make it work. 

All that being said, it's not my flavor.  Either way, credit where credit is due.

I can say I'd be scared to ride it ;) but I'd like to see it up close,
it is a piece of art I could enjoy.

Can you imagine riding up to pick up a blind date on that thing!  You need super long tassles on your chaps too.  "Hey, wait!  Where are you going?  Come on back!"  hahahahaha

My guess is that it is unridable with those cow horn bars..  The bottom of the auction says it comes with normal controls for real world driving or some such..

Looks to me like it is running no front brake and the front brake lever actually acts as the throttle...atleast that how the routing appears to be....

I like the headers.  I need to find out about that.
I met a guy who rode from Alaska to California on a saddle instead of a regular seat.  Saddles don't seem to have much padding...

theyre REALLY comfy though as long as the seat size fits you properly. at one time i spent 8-10 hours a day in the saddle and loved every minute of it, of course i'm kind of nuts too lol.

That coffin tank seems too angular compared to the rest of the bike. Fat Bobs would have been better IMHO. To each his own I guess.
 I've always wanted to build a wild theme bike like Cloud's bike from Final Fantasy VII Advent Children but there is always too much mundane bill paying work to do.

Definitely not for everyone, but it would be cool to ride!
