Somebody has spent an awful lot of time and money on that monstrosity. They should be ashamed of themselves.
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

Even a Harley doesn't deserve that. :smt009

Then again they probably all do.

Horrible thing to do to a bike.. Even a Yamaha..

Nice link in the background though and worth a look at the catalogue..

Don't worry - with the current price of scrap metal someone will have that thing away to the scrappies for a quick buck.

Apparently the owner spent £3000 doing that to it - not only that but he's just sold it so someone actually liked it! He's now got a Harley - wonder what he'll do to that?
