I don't know how to begin to search for it, but several weeks ago there was a thread about this, with more pics. Someone on the forum said he knew the guy, and that he does ride it all over the place.

Totally real. The guy lives in my area and I see him all the time. He puts his bike in local shows and it is far from show-worthy, which tells me it is more than just a trophy piece.

Yeah, this pic pops up on the forum from time to time. Real. The guy is from Missouri, somewhere around St. Louis I think. I've heard from a few different members on different forums that they've seen the bike in person.
