How could anyone do that to a defenceless XB?

How come my previous message title keeps coming back, even though I changed it? I just can't get rid of my "What to do?" title!

OK, got it figured out--but too late to change the title now (or is it?)

That's disgusting.
Some people just shouldn't be allowed anywhere near welding equipment.
Can I puke now?

That is SAD! Someone should "rescue" that poor XB and part it out or crush it to put it out of its misery......

No doubt an XB with a totalled frame.

Hey, I like it. Granted it looks like crap now but with some better coordinated accessories and killer paint it would actually make a custom cheaper than you could buy one for outright... I think it's great that he gave the bike another chance at life.

I'm with Charlie...not my cup of tea, but hey, that bike with another 5 grand dumped into it would make a pretty rad chopper for a LOT less than what people are paying for full customs based on other platforms. It'd probably go a lot faster too, at least in a straight line.

I'm not a big chopper fan, will never own anything even remotely like it. But hey, there sure are a lot of people that do like it and it's their money, even if *I* think the concept is kinda silly. I think it's cool that some people are out there BUILDING the product that they want instead of just BUYING it. The folks just buying this custom stuff just haven't figured out yet that the pride of ownership of such a beast is in doing it yourself, not in plunking a wad of cash down on it.
