Inspiration can come from many things.  These Spark reverse mega's for some of the new/higher displacement Duc Monsters are what I want the exhaust on my bike to eventually look like.  Granted I'll have to arrange the headers into a 4-1-2 or 4-2, and then source or fab this type of mega myself, but they still inspire me :)
I need help moving my project bike from Wisconsin to Seattle, WA.  Willing to pay well.  Contact if interested.

Well this guy just took the two finger salute to another level.   :D  I never understood why everyone does the low peace sign.  Are people afraid to actually be seen acknowledging another rider?

We knew that the man behind Apple "kept an old BMW motorcycle in the living room, and let Bill Clinton use it in 1998" from Wikipedia.

the rim looks like a steel 16" (Harley?), laced to a stock 500/550 drum hub.  Not sure who's tire, but looks like a 130/80?/16.

As for the chain, shock mounts and rear box style swing arm...Dunno if he fabbed it himself, but probably a custom job. looks like they relocated the shock mounts to the frame. You could probably get a similar look using Carpy's extra long box swing arm and a double sprocket and chain kit from Cycle X...wait. nvr mind...looks like single chain...Just seems beefier than a stock one for some reason?

That sure looks like a Harley XLCR gas tank on the bike directly behind the Seeley. Another rare bird; only about 3000 made.

That was a 450 single Ducati mate, the bloke kept starting the bloody thing up and we couldn't hear ourselves think.... :P

There was an XLCR there but i didn't get any pics of it. There was literally hundreds of bikes there and around 20,000 people....
