Not bad, for what it is. Probably the best useless,buell chop I've seen.

Interesting to see the mutant redneck chopper thing has made its way across the pond. At least they did a tidy job with it...and for a tidy sum of guilders, too.

Looks like they should have placed an idler sprocket somewhere to keep the chain off of the foot peg. Then again, a couple of good potholes at speed should fix that problem.

There an ass for every seat.

I like some parts of this thing for the sheer innovation...the forks in particular. And I like that they used the stock frame.

But giant rear tires on stuff like this always look disproportionate and ungainly to my eye. I think it would actually look cooler with a 130 rear and built "skinny". I also consider Maltese crosses and skulls to be tired biker cliches.

It's rolling sculpture, like a Cyril Huze bike. Nothing wrong with that I guess,,

Neil, I believe they hard tailed it, which would make that less likely an issue. I'm with John on this one. Not my taste, but very unique in many ways. I can appreciate the workmanship of it.

I just threw up a little in my mouth. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Ross, that is what I thought at first as well. But, after I took another look at it, all I can see is a leaf spring pack, without a dampener of any kind, on the back end. Kind of crazy if they think that will keep that back wheel planted.

Oh jeeze. Rocket doesn't care for most things.

The custom bike building scene has it's head so far up its own backside these days, many of the creations have HAD to become so wacky to gain attention they're hardly if at all able to be ridden more than a short distance.

Whilst I can appreciate what goes into building some of these creations, I've no place in my garage for such a thing.

Agreed.
