Uhm, not trying to be crude, but... Does anyone else think that a man riding that bike may look a little like he is riding that skeleton? (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) |

That's what I thought the first time I had seen a picture of that thing. I have to admire the creativity but hey, riding it would be kinda like nekkid wrasslin - it's just something I won't do. |

Say no more-say no more. A slight disconnect between the vision and the reality of the project. Now ... put a fiberglass body in the form of a woman over the skeleton ... that may work. DAve |

It's a 70s vintage pushrod IL4 car engine by the looks of it, downdraft carb appears to be missing also the chain, though sprockets look in place. Nice Garden. |

Wow! That's honestly the first custom chopper that I've ever really liked A LOT! Does anyone else think that a man riding that bike may look a little like he is riding that skeleton? (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) It's a skeleton. How do we know it's not a gal? *insert Stephen Lynch's song "A Month Dead" [here]* (Message edited by metalstorm on February 24, 2007) |

Dave (Gess), Thanks for posting the link. That bike just plain rocks! I've never particularly cared for IL4 powered bikes, but it definitely has style and attitude that's right up my alley! Reminds me of this custom chopper I saw a few years back in Myrtle Beach.
To turn this back to Buell's, here's a S1 that I saw at a Metro-Detroit Buell event around '99 or 2000. These are from my days before digital, so the pictures aren't the best...
Obviously these bikes are meant to make more of a statement by themselves than with a rider, but I still dig them! 1313 |

Riding a skeleton... Until I clicked the link, I thought Paris had come out with a new video. Silly me. Put a long blonde wig on it. Form it into pony tails and use them to cover the handlebars. |
