It is "bedazzled!" and named correctly.

Ok I'll vote. That is one damn ugly bike and I'll bet the dude who owns it thinks he's a badazz.
It looks like Meatloaf from Rocky Horror Picture Show ran into a disco machine.

I knew this big gorilla of a guy who painted his HD green and yellow and had the John Deere logo on the oil tank and had John Deere painted on the side of the tank. This was all brush painted and not very well. He even painted the entire engine green and yellow and the rims too.. One of the ugliest bikes I ever saw.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

That's one for the book for sure.
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.

I took "The Ugly One" as a reference to the pillion, rather than the name of the bike.
Not that it isn't true of the bike.

a sportster.... with glitter. safe to assume the trench knives are cheap knockoffs, leaving........ absolutely NOTHING worth salvaging. crush it, then burn it, then run it over with a dump truck to make sure it's dead.

Now, let me get this straight. I see a lot of chickens around so, is that glitter or chook poo all over that "bike"?

Hey, this was at Luckenbach, TX. In a crowd of bikes. Yes the guy did ride it in and rode it out. Loud and proud he was (and as ugly as the bike). Big guy though, and didn't look like the kind interested in anyone's opinion. He was wearing some kind of mail shirt under an old western shirt. Talk about taking safety seriously. Gave him the cool nod and peace be with ya brother expression and went about my business.

This at least has that rat/Road Warrior kind of look and is kind of cool on that use what you have and think outside the box level that the first bike doesn't have.
