LOL, nothing... I just thought the bike looked unique and just wanted to share. It looks like something you'd see come out of West Coast Choppers. Also, it appears it has a small block or auto engine. Can you imagine the looks the guy gets driving this thing around?

A guy at work just pointed something out to me....

When you ride that bike....you're literally riding on the gay *** of a metric.

Skeleton or not, with that sprung solo bouncin away, it could SERIOUSLY make some people question your sexuality.

But hey, whatever gets your rocks off, buddy.
