I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Knew you wouldn't disappoint us this morning, Chad. This one is pretty cool though. Interesting suspension.

I do appreciate your effort in finding odd bikes, but the art bike in another thread just proves that even bad art is still art. That said, very nice homerun on this one! 
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

When they featured that bike on BikeEXIF.com you should have seen the comments. People hated it. I think it's cool. http://www.bikeexif.com/bmw-r60-2

Those are not shocks they are spring towers kind of like the old plunger frames except these connect to a swing arm. They are part of the frame.

After second look: Exposed drive shaft. Crazy front suspension. Jockey shift.... Wicked Fun to look at, but wouldn't want to ride it more than maybe a lap around the block.

Was looking through Choppahead stuff and they havea lens for the old Ford tail light that says F**K instead of stop the a U in the lower section. That would go great with my skeleton hand with middle finger raised.

I kept it short and sweet. You never know how ornery a publication (especially a PRINT one) is about their copyright. And I don't have time to ask them for permission. http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/the-brown-eyed-cyclops/

I was just looking for something that was different. The title is "Morning Maddness Motorcycle of the day". This bike is definately maddness. It looks interesting but is not a practical ride. Believe it or not this bike actually won a custom bike building competition.  If you don't like this one try back tomorrow you may be surprised.....

Ya they seem to be. I went to their shop a couple times when they first moved here. Bought some gaskets from them and had a seat bracket that needed welding for my father-inlaw's 1972 Bonny. They welded it for nothing for me. He ended up selling the bike so I haven't been back. But if I ever have $$ to throw around I'd like one of their Rat bikes to fool around on.

I rode my buddy's harley chopper with a bare metal seat. It was more contoured than that though. Wasn't bad around town. Wouldn't take it out of town. Oh, rigid chopper, no springs in the seat... thankfully I have no desire to impregnate anybody...
