Yes indeed! It is..

I can't stop looking at it.  I'm trying to figure it out.
So many questions. How does the carb setup work? Gotta have a fuel pump with the tank below the carb. WTF kind of carb is that anyway?
You guys see the shift lever? Cool huh? You got to pull in the clutch with your left hand, take your hand off the throttle grip and shift with your right hand.
Isn't there a shock missing on the front end? What about those lower arms of the Telever suspension anchored on the cylinder sides.

I like the retractable license plate. Sure would save on road tolls. As you ride through the cameras, flip a switch and say out loud...."photograph this...motherfucker..."

So the FleaBay seller got it at an estate auction.... So then 'ole Doc must be deceased...

That's not a motorcycle its a work of art. If purchased by me would be installed in living room just to look at. Like Pat I could really use that retractable license plate for the toll roads.  Dave
A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

Don't look at it too long.  It's like staring at the eclipse.  But then again you might find Waldo in there somewhere.  It certainly is different from the raked out choppers that people have done to death.  I wonder if that bongo seat plays a tune while going over the bumps?  Questions, questions, questions.

Like, when is a lump of metal considered art?   (popcorn)

I considerthe chopper I built to be a work of art. With all the metal work I did, to be my sculpture.
It has over 150 sharp points. I bleed for my art.

The say beauty is in the eye of the beer holder -- I must not drink nearly enough!

Seriously, it looks like a prop for Willy Wonka.........

Weird, my first reaction was Willy Wonka, too.
Or maybe a bag of Skittles.

Honestly, with all the colors it looks like a Clown-Bike.

Keep the gold wheels, and make the rest of it either gun-metal or charcoal grey metallic, and it would be a cool piece of Steam-Punk art!
