I agree .. a heap of absolute rubbish.  In fact, aside from the fishplate frame and copper tubing, it almost looks like he disassembled the bike and then put it back together wrong and is now claiming it to be a work of art or something.

Look closely at the pics, rusty old shocks, original handlebars turned upside down and around the wrong way, original swing arm, original triples, original levers and perches etc etc  ..... yep .. really inspired creativity there   ::) ???

I love it, the bloke marches to a different beat to you naysayers which to me is a good thing. How boring would life be if we all drove beige Camry's, rode white plastic Yamahas and bought our clothes at Lowes.
 Viva la differance'. ;D

Yeah, but what are you supposed to do with it?  You could never ride the thing and it's not a nice concourse resto you could put on display. It's just a mess.

I must admit that he could have put a bit more thought towards rideability. With a more sensible rake and a little flat track seat he'd have a cute little street tracker/bobber/cafe racer. There are far more offending creations out there in Chopperville.

Lol Firko ... he could have put a lot more thought into creativity as well and not just used the parts that landed on the floor when he dismantled it  ;D

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder mate .. you going to make a bit then  ;D ;D
