Pretty fcuking ugly.....................  :P

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I thing that question mark is an homage to Indian Larry, although Larry would probably kick that bike over for having it.
everything I say is pure speculation and
I have no idea what I'm talking about  ._.

um, with that color green and the question mark I think it's actually an homage to The Riddler of Batman fame.

I actually agree.  that's probably hand painted... and unless it's actually way crappier than the pictures dictate, it's like a piece of era art.

I actually agree.  that's probably hand painted... and unless it's actually way crappier than the pictures dictate, it's like a piece of era art.

I agree.  That's the kind of art that no one could ever re-create.  The weed is much better nowadays.

Seriously,  That's a keeper of a tank.  In the interest of historical preservation, you should keep it as is.

yup its hand painted all right, dated 1999 would of been nice if they cleared it but they didnt, 1 side is pretty trashed... seems to only get sun on 1 side! well if i ever here from him/her, it will probably get hung on the wall as there doesnt seem to be any gas in it and its been locked up long enough that the chain has left rust stains on the tire...
