[coolksprt]

W T F ????

Uhh, I agree. Different is good, but bizzare is bizzare. Each to his own. Whatever blows ur skirt up.

[JasonEllis]

NOW THATS CREATIVE! I'd ride it just to see how much attention it would get. Awesome concept.

You're all going to be mad jealous when the Zombie Apocalypse happens. Rikusa is going to get all the hardcore, surviving women in leather & tattoos while you'll be stuck in a mall with your stock GS750s. I wouldn't be surprised if his name was Max.

i'm guessing for those who didn't like it they won't like this site either.... http://www.urbanxtremebikes.com/ lol - i personally love the individual owners interpretation of what a bike should be and how it's kept going. not everything needs polishing of overpriced oem parts

oh i'm sure it'll get a reaction... unlike the latest plastic fantasic brigade on their cloned super polished hyper pieces of junk.. lol

..... and i'd hope people seeing it would have an opinion too. good bad or indifferent. all about individualism isn't it

If you do ride that you need someone on the back seat with a collar and chain like Mad Max II

my sentiments exactly... that other one was just plain ugly and budget. This one is ugly as sin, but it's got character. I like the close up of the zip ties on the fender crack. classic....
