The coolest bike I've ever seen

If you haven't see John Farrs skeleton bike before, you have to check this thing out!  This is one wicked bike and very impressive workmanship.

Can't deny the craftsmanship, but really specifically with regards to the quality and obvious strength of the skeleton itself.  If the idea was to make it look like the skeleton was riding the bike, then his ass shouldn't be sticking up in the air like a cat in heat.

Aside from that, it looks like the remains of someone who died right after the doctor said '...please cough', and is obvioulsy designed purely for the show circuit, to be sitting on a turntable surrounded by mirrors, strobe lights, leather skinned women in bikinis sagging to their knees and lots and lots of bandanas.

On the 'doggie style' bike also posted, I really could have done without the last photo, and anyone can slap a poorly painted chunk of fiberglass on a bike.

That's it - done with my nightly rant.

I hate to pile on, but that never stopped me before. ;-) Didja notice that the bike is not moving in any of the approximately 8 bazillion photos on that page? Whyizzut, I'd like to know.

Digga - that last pic is bordering on porn. Please reconsider the post.

Thanks.

This is a bike site after all.

Better a bit of self regulation than us deleting stuff.

Indeed.  I just found it amusing that someone would go to all the trouble of making a bike to look like that.  Didn't mean to offend anybody.

Did it have a theme name?

I have a friend who considers herself the "Halloween Queen," and she would love that bike. It would appeal to several aspects of her bizare nature.   ;D
