Cross Bones! Goofy name, but a much better looking bike than the Rocker.

The Cross Bones will be known as the "Boner".

Crossbones is my kind of bike but the name is goofy. The rear fender doesn't go with the rest of the bike IMO.

If I had to choose between one or the other, it would be the cross bone.

Cross Bones for sure, but I'l reserve judgment till I see it in person.

Seeing the Rocker confirmed my complete indifference to it.

Two very opposite bikes, both have a good place to fit!

Something like a fantasy match up because neither one is available!
