An interesting styling exercise, but what's with the fugly chromed horn on the lower triple clamp?

I like the bobbed look but could that steering damper be ANY bigger?

Wow.   It's amazing what some people will dump a lot of time and money into.   What's with the aligator hide seat...like if came off some other vehicle, or maybe a horse.   :clap:

I kinda like the fuscia colour. Someone went to a lot of trouble to paint the frame et all... even the damper   -not so pretty the solo seat and some other bits.

Snows almost gone in Beaverland... Hot Dam!

I think we all missed the obvious.

A steering dampener?   :duh:

Just shows that the planet doesn't require any intelligence test in order to have anything.... from children to motorcyles.

Maybe where you live!!!

Not here. Still snow everywhere. It started to melt pretty good this weekend though, but it's freezing every night, so lots of ice in the morning. It will be a good 3 weeks before I'll want to ride anywhere near here.
