I like the third question asked at the bottom, "Do you mean 1600.00?"  ;D

What gets me is the statement "This Bike is not Warrented for New Zealand Roads because of Sharp Edges".  Well, no S%$t Sherlock.  I'd hate to have to "put it down" and have that thing land on top of me...if the accident won't kill you, the BIKE WILL!  :o

The problem is that time spent on the bike is time spent NOT playing Warcraft, therefore time wasted.

Quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I have seen since that thread on why you don't put NOS energy drink in your gas tank.

The sad thing is, someone spent alot of time, effort and money building that thing and really the detail is pretty good, but then you take a step back and...(why is there no throwing up smiley to insert here)

I guess New Zealand never got over the whole Lord of The Rings bit.

And another thought, it would be a real acomplishment to ride around on a $160,000 motorcycle that ensures you will never get laid.

Aren't motorcycles and expensive things generally supposed to have the opposite effect?

Yeah, all right, give the guy a break. He's done it his way.

You guys do it your way and I'll do it mine. Just 'cos he's thrown his dough into the proverbial money pit and the whole project is way over the top doesn't mean it's all bad.

It's nothing we would own but I bet he's getting lots of strokes over at the HD modifying forums and other custom forums worldwide. We need to look outside of the Honda SOHC4 bubble.

And sometimes people list their bikes up just to read what people have to say. That price would have cost him but it looks like he doesn't have any shortage of cash to be able to put that together.

He has a point too. OCC mostly just unwrap the parts they order in, throw all the bubble wrap and cardboard in he dumpster then get to bolting up the parts. Very original.
