When you pull down on the handlebars fully, the kickstand will raise up. Like those mittens you had as a kid with the cord that went up one arm, around your neck, then down the other arm. You could go up to such a kid, pull on his left mitten and he'd smack himself in the face with the right

That bike is here in St. Louis. I have seen it in person. The pipes and bars are at my eye level (6'1"). The dude that rides it is a little guy!

This was posted a while back and was decided it's photoshopped. As for the kickstand, I have seen many HD kickstands hang like that, mostly on shovels.

These guys must be cousins. This bike is seen a good bit around central PA. He loves giving chicks a ride. A pretty good guy in person. He built a really cool little Triumph chopper for his buddy, no suspension at all - rigid front and back! In fact it is the green bike just in the background.

Yup. As Roadworthy stated above...We've seen that guy out and about. That bike is absolutely just wrong. It cracks me up watching people gather around it to take pics and I have to admit I took a shot of it once just to show my wife how silly this bike is.

So you guys have actually seen this guy? I can remember the whole discussion for a while back about how it looked like things didn't quite line up and reflections were wrong and such about that guy. If you say you saw him I have no reason to doubt it.

He's gotta catch the attention of cops. I mean that's just not safe or legal I'd assume, in your area or anywhere else for that matter.

Wouldn't get 10' here before getting pulled over. Not allowed to be higher than shoulder level here. Cop will lay his night stick between the bars and your shoulders and it better be level on slope forwards.

You can see the Missouri Dept. of Transportation Dist. Office next exit sign in the back ground.  I call these cartoon bikes.

I have a pic of that bike on my cellphone taken at the iron horse bar in St. Louis. Like Dave said, it is certifiably real. Absolutely stupid.

I like how he has those giant risers, because the 36" handle bars are just not enough.
