A HarleyDood's Wet Dream...

So, I had heard about this motorcycle. We have a bunch of contractors doing construction at the place I work, and one of my co-workers told me that one of the contractors had shown up on an abomination of a motorcycle and taken up a good half of one of the designated motorcycle parking areas by parking it perpendicular to all of the other bikes already there. I went out to take a look and this is what I found...



Someone said they talked to the guy and he told them it has a 30" front wheel. Looks like it must have air ride in the back, as it was sitting with the bags on the ground. The guy had even placed his helmet under the frame on the right side of the bike, presumably to keep it from tipping over away from the kickstand. To my great shock, some of the guys who walked out to look at it said they kinda liked it. Personally, I would rather ride a Honda Cub for the rest of my days than for my children to know I had ever climbed aboard a motorcycle that looks like it came out of a Scooby-Doo cartoon.

 

Uh, NO! I would not be caught dead on that thing. It is really a shame someone can take a piece of crap, add money to it and only create a bigger piece of crap worth less.

 

Agreed, I would rather walk.

 

With a 30" front wheel, no wonder it's parked like that. Gotta be a bitch to countersteer.

 

There is one for sale out here, think of how many VFR's you could have for $45,000!

 

If this is a new fashon trend in custom Choppers it's a very, very stupid one and destined to be short lived one hopes.

 

A guy at work has one, also has his exhaust coming out the bottom of each panner. Can never keep air in the front tire. Also has massive wattage of a stereo, blasted it for me in the parking structure and set off at least a dozen car alarms
Just laughed

Gods, you would be able to manage about 5 degree bank angle.

 

Air shocks plus it keeps them from doin a sow

There's a bike exactly like the first one here in Manitoba. He gets a lot of attention with it.
I guess that's the reason for having it. His has air cylinders that come Out the bottom and the bike sits on these when parked. It's a nice machine,but the wheel is overkill,imop. To each their own.

 

Now that is a bike I would enjoy seeing ridden off the end of a stage in Sturgis.

 

It always amazed me that people would spend tens of thousands customizing a bike that for the most part, isn't rideable for any length of time.

Isn't Viagra cheaper?

 

But it's a Harley....

Where the mistake is being made is that what look like panniers are actually flaps. They initiate at 15mph and lift the whole ass end of the bike up off the deck.

 

Now that brings back memory's AM, we used to skateboard with short boards down a st. here in Woodland Hills back in the 70's and a buddy brought his little brothers big wheel, so we would first smoke a joint or two and fly down this hill big wheel style---- thanks for bringing back that cob web memory

I remember my big brother cut the pedals off a Big Wheel and fastened some makeshift footpegs out there instead. Thing was great fun on a downhill run, but it lacked a great deal in the braking dept...

 

What could be more fun than a huge squirrely downhill, 10 big wheels, a sack of indica, a bunch of mushrooms, and a keg?

 

You should totally grab a big wheel from craigslist or something for a few bucks, rattle can it flat black and park it next to his bike.

 

I did that once. Ended up spending a week in a hotel one night.

 

+1 for placing a black big wheel maybe with some chrome paint on the wheels, and grips as well.
That is the most ungodly gaudy hulking mass of wasted metal and fiberglass I have ever seen.

I was having a conversation with a guy at work who thinks Hardleys are cool. He asks well then why is Harley the most copied bike there is. To this I replied it's because it's so easy to copy even third word countries with no engineering or manufacturing prowess can come up with an improved copy.
