Despite the fact that really is truly and terribly ugly, it actually took me a while to browse over it.  You can't really have the truly beautiful without comparisons to bikes like this, but I relish the thought in how much effort and design work he put into it.  All the fairings are hand made for gods sake.  Ahh well.....

But very nice work - like some of the extreme choppers I see. I don't really like the style,
but people do some fantastic work on 'em

It would be cool to check out in real life.

Probably interesting to ride, too.

But I wouldn't necessarily want to be seen on it.  Or would that actually be good because of its uniqueness?
Speed is always relative.
