Looking at the tires I guess it’s not sure if it’s a car or a dirt bike. Must be confused LOL

i'd give full marks for creativity and workmanship , but i don't know about it being 'maximum ride-ability' . that seat does not look at all comfortable for more than bar hopping and the twin carbs poking you in the leg would get old kinda fast . probably gets you for A to B pretty damn fast though .

I don't happen to enjoy sitting on my nuts. Nor do I happen to like a bike that's uglier than I am. So this would be a hard pass for me.

Where do you find this crap. Dam 90% of of what you post is a mess.
Car tire on rear knobby off road on front. The rear tire appears to have been puffed to get it sealed. becaue rim is to narrow. Some one is going to get hurt.
