The mental image of ape hangers used to amuse me. I think the person who created that "piece" must milk cows for a living. ;D

It's at this point I would exclaim artistic expression because god knows I have made some stupid #$%* in my time....

but that's just OBVIOUSLY making it difficult to ride. and then why build it if you cannot ride it.

That is hard to understand.



That sums up my response as well....
WTF came to mind.
Why waste even a harley on something like that....


I can see show bikes... but you can ride most of them if need be!



I'm at a loss for this guys train of thought with that front end.
Either not the right 'scripts, or too much coke/meth? A bad acid trip come to life?

Let's all be honest... How many of you have done something, not because it was practical, but because you thought it was cool!?!  Or you've done something just for the challenge of it, and to prove the Nay-Sayers wrong?

I wouldn't build/ride a chopper like that, but it would be impressive to stand next to.  (maybe even sit on)

Done both of those....

First they came for the stupid color schemes, and I said nothing because I did not have a stupid color scheme.

Then they came for the reasonable chopper that was way way disproportionally stretched at the neck, my bike was fine so I said nothing.

Then they came for the small engine powered self destructing rube goldberg style machines that at the time seemed like a good idea to build from all the junk laying around but now just makes me nervous.

And there was no one left to speak for me  ;D ;D ;D ;D




In short, I kind of like it.
