A surgeon's ride

This machine was built by an Orthopedic surgeon .... a cool bike.

I'd be concerned about where he got the skull from...

What a piece of shit. It looks like it has been lightly tossed together. And what's the story with that rear tyre? I hope its builder is a better orthopod than he is a bike maker.

Drumming up business ????

There doesn't appear to be a chain on the rear sprocket, so its is probably just for looks, rather than riding.

But I think it looks pretty cool. A great show piece.

it's not a totally unusual practice for cruisers to have car rear tyres, but yeah the missing chain makes it look a bit sus.

Judging by the engine, its a shaftie ...

Not my cup of tea (choppers) but the skeleton part is quite cool as a sculpture in it's own right, but I think the boxy radiator, car engine and rear wheel ruin it. Probably would have been better to have used a bike engine IMO.

He's a SURGEON ...not a bike builder by trade ...

Could be a friction drive onto the rear tyre, no chain or shafts required.
Looks good parked up.

but...

I'd be worried what people would be thinking of a bloke riding a bike while rooting a skeleton up the arse.
Now had that skeleton been a beautiful sculpted lady......
