I guess what is even more ridiculous is the $15,000 price tag.

Ian, I bet you could throw something like that together from parts in your wrecking yard for a heck of a lot less.

if i had 4' long arms and a 12" inseam i suppose i might consider that thing perfect, but as it is i think i'd like to liberate that fine motor and take a cutting torch to the rest.

I kind of like it, different for sure. It actually might be comfortable to ride with mid-pegs. I sure hope they did a good job welding that neck on, it's waaaaay out there....
Oh yeah, "reserve not met" has to be the final outcome, right?

Given the positions of seat, engine and handlebars, I think it might just keep my large belly warm on the way to work... but I have to admit, it looks a lot like a greyhound stretching its front legs to me.

I like its rugged industrial look way better than the dandified, polished, pimpish look of so many custom choppers. But it looks completely impossible to drive.

I really like it. The "weathered" steel look is sweet. I just can't figure out how any guy can ride it without a cup.

Yeah, yeah. If it wasn't for the cold draft blowing up your kilt, you'd never be able to leave the house without all the old biddys fainting

it does look kind of neat and you can see why the girder forks would be a good idea rather than telescopic given the rake angle.

That is a springer not a girder, there is a difference. Springer  Girder

I think what Bill was implying was that a girder would be the best option (over a springer) for a bike with that much rake, which is very correct.

Should have gone to Specsavers.  It's not pretty on the eye, and looks an uncomfortable riding position
