Very Nice. Very Different.

I'm pretty sure they do....and orange, green, blue, etc. I forget the name of the company, but they started making them for sportbikes.....I'll try to remember or find an ad....anyone?

It's Tomahawk tires, but I wouldn't buy them if they were the last (re)manufacturer in the world. But I don't think they make a 130/90-17 tire, Sorry Brian.

What does coffee have in common with Ginger Baker?

They both suck without Cream!

Nice one!\\/

Check out this link to one very radical chop that I found on the COG site.
This is more art than motorcycle but it sure is neat:

Alice does a radio show at night in Phoenix. Lots of cool old R & R ! Never heard him mention his bike.

I really like to have a full-size widescreen wallpaper of that bike sans dude. Anybody know if there's a link to one somewhere? :?

NOPE,I HATE IT.IF IT WAS THE ONLY BIKE IN THE WORLD I OWULD HAVE TO STOP RIDING MOTORCYCLES.

this bike was featured in this months Back Street Heroes magazine here in the UK.... it's called the Oomega and no, it has no brakes but only as there was no time before the competition evidently, there will be eventually.. and a supercharger! the 'gold' is brass, theres no chrome its all nickel plate. he claims that 'from day one it handled no worse (though no better) than any conventional chop'
if nothing else it makes people think about trying to build something diffferent than the Orange County Crud eh? :-D

I dig his brain bucket.

And that headlight is straight out of Harry Potter.

Very cool piece of art.

'from day one it handled no worse (though no better) than any conventional chop' :-D

Sounds like a builder's boast to me....


However poorly a conventional custom chopper may handle, it would definitely handle better than this one.....

Why?


Because you can't countersteer if your handlebars aren't connected to your forks!!!!!!!!

[0ily]

im not sure i follow the logic of that. countersteering relies on two factors as far as im aware, the gyroscopic force of the front wheel ('procession' makes the gyroscope move in a plane at right angles to the force trying to move it, turning the wheel left makes it lean right) and centrifugal force (the bikes inertia means it wants to go in a stright line and the centre of gravity drops the bike the opposite way becuase of this.) i'm not saying the guys not just 'boasting' and i sure dont fancy the idea of trying any sort of cornering at speed on this thing.....

since seeing this bike i've been wracking my brain-cell trying to work out where i'd seen this design before...

Ugly in my opinion,creative but ugly.

[jimcor]

Nice pinstriping! Doggoned if it doesn't have a strong resemblance!

[trystym]

Kinda Bimoto meets Harry Potter...or maybe Tim Burton. It's fine as long as I think of it as art and not a waste of an engine. :-D

Here's a current picture of Alice Cooper.
