    If I won lotto, I'd buy it and ride it off the Russell wharf, and raffle off the mooring.

    I haven't laughed this hard since things nearly went international a while back.. you guys make me laugh

    but seriously.. what a shitbox, is it actually painted or was it left outside for a few weeks for that "weathered" look while waiting for the wheels and engine arrive.. looks like an abstract piece of schoolroom art.. confusing, pretentious and downright horrible to all but the artist themselves.. the taillights show you just how unoriginal the whole concept is and the price speaks for itself.. I'm with the post about throwing it off the wharf..

    I'm still laughing hard, my daughter is looking at me like I'm some kind of weirdo cos when I laugh my whole body joins in (just to keep the Castle quotes coming)

    you guys are the best

    Sorry, this is fricken horrible. And I love custom bikes.

    $150000 or yours for the low finance payments of $961.30.

    This bike deserves a
    Cheap at half the price... no wait no it's not ...

    He could get a couple for his brothers sure he could afford it, just take up another offering...

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Because there's a lot of other little bits and bobs you need to get the thing running, and it all adds up.

    The way the headlight's mounted and the overall look. Obviously with a donk that big you cant do the single tube frame thing but its got the parts bin mechano look.

    Something to bear in mind that no one properly understands until they've tried it, is the sheer mind numbing amount of hours that go into building a custom motorcycle. Even a so called "kit set". If you're building that motorcycle to sell, you'll probably only recoup $5 for every hour you spend on the fucking thing, if you're lucky.

    Nowhere near the same scale but Drew and I have probably spent collectively 30 hours on Eden's Chopper and that's just smoothing the frame, trial fitting the motor, building the "oil bag" and copper "oil lines" and hiding the wiring. It's still months away from rideable.

That motor would appear to have a lot of one off looking bits to it, on it, and paying a good man to draw up/machine such shit ain't exactly cheap. Simon has listed some bare S&S engines, but obviously fogot you need a clutch and transmission to go forwards, and that particular bike looks to have one off made such things.
