A Orange County Choppers wanna-bee?
No counting for taste !
most unusual
Maybe a Mad Max Chopper?
Thank you very much rocker-sd, Pop_abides, ccranford, chevy59, and Manikin,
The guy that got off of it was rather interesting himself.
I bet he was quote Interesting, the bike is different enough, I can only imagine the rider.
The flaming skull on the side plate, might cause some conversation from a few of my friends.
Thank you kerry10456 & vanskyock24. Lets just say he was quite interesting. Does the flaming skull have any special meaning?
No, a flaming skull not really, but it does resemble a certain club patch and on this notable piece of "ART" (I use that term lightly), it would probably draw some unwanted interest.
That's almost the worst chopper overhaul I've ever seen,,,lol.
Some people just can't see the end result till it's too late.
I would expect to see Herman Munster or Uncle Fester riding it.
Thank you Signaholic.
Guess the standard sporty tank was too small for him. Don't know about the purple glitter paint job and the little purse like saddle bags, though.......?
