Well far be it from me to be critical ( ;D) but there are guys on this site, a couple of whom have commented on that monstrosity, who are only one step away from creating similar monsters! No names, no pack drill, you know who you are.............  :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?"

Hey CBJ, is that "A Soul" or "#$%*"? I liked that Hondamatic "boat anchor" with the "#$%* box" auto tranny, except for the poxy flame job, ha ha! Cheers, Terry. ;D

This definitely looks like it falls in the catergory, "...well, it ran last year." ???

I did not see an inspection sticker on it. Probably bkz no one would pass it.

I stumbled on this thread and laughed my ass off at some of the comments. The pics are no longer on ebay and I have GOT to see this thing. Did anyone save a pic?

I wish I did.  I can tell you this, you won't need waste time looking at any "Art of the Motorcycle" exhibits or with any "serious" collectors.  :)
