I hate to admit it, but I kinda like it. And I almost always dislike squared off styling. Except for the headlight turned half around the wrong way. In the article, the fit and finish shows off in more pictures. But, like most of these kinds of machines, nobody's ever gonna ride it anyway.

Interesting, but barf. I really like the way the exhaust dumps right on to the frame and rear axle making cleaning a breeze.  But, yes the fit and finish are excellent.

Where's the clutch? Suspension is way over rated anyways! Sorry but I like my bikes to ride rather than to put in a glass case.

Looks like it use to be a Thruxton. It's like 21st century art deco. Not bad for rolling art.

I'm curious, what does it have for brakes?
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Its an impressive bike. Obviously not built to be ridden daily. After reading that article Id like to see it in person. Looks like a custom clutch cover modeled after the OEM but I can't make out a cable so I wonder if its using a hydraulic system like the Streetmaster unit. Custom frame and to Erles wonder... looks like those oil holes are plugged

Reminds me of the 1977 Harley XLCR. One of the very few Harleys I've ever thought had interesting styling. Most of them look pretty much the same to me (one of the many reasons I'd never own one).

That's what I was thinking, Guido meets the Honda Dream in London.

Where's the front brake for that matter. (perhaps a drum brake???? how 20th century. If one wants to go , one must also be able to stop.

Rolling art should be at least functional. This one doesn't appear to be. But I do like the Deco look.

If they were to use a different front end I think I might actually like it. From the neck back it looks pretty good.

WOW! So much talent, so much vision, so much work - regretfully, all of it mis-directed... Imagine if you will - The Triumph Dream with long sought after WWII Functionality.

But it's Hinckley powered. I don't think that's a bonnie clutch cover. Looks like an America engine.

I keep coming back to look at it...maybe I'm sick...
Or maybe they are. This is the second of the Hinckley engine customs I've seen that uses old drum brakes fore and aft. What's up with not wanting to stop?
