If Dr. Seuss built a motorcycle...

It’s bizarre, sick, impractical, and just plain silly, but I still like it better than the stuff from OCC. At least someone is trying to do something different.

I agree zen, not much of that bike was ordered straight out of the custom chrome catalog and just bolted on.

It's not practical in the least, but he was realizing an artistic vision, and he didn't compromise.

Well, judging by the quality of work in the detail shots I'd say he is at least a skilled artist. But it's pure form and only enough function to ......function? The round glasses, prom rental suit, and white socks scream 'Art Institute graduate'
...and I agree too, it's pretty, now RIDE IT!

The wire tie on the handlebar is a nice touch of "practical" on this fine motorcycle. where are the pegs?

I think the wire tie is to hold on the "temporary" thumb controled throttle.

As a motorcycle...not a chopper & not practical.

As a piece of art....I think it's awesome.

Edward Scissor Hands? The "idea" behind the bike is def unique and artsy, but the guy who designed it looks like an Emo.
