Default I never saw a bike look like this!!!

While i was at work today a fellow Harley rider came to me and said, you have got to come see this. I said see what?? Just come with me and look what parked beside me. so i did! When i got there he said i can't believe this guy parked this thing beside my Harley (in the same parking space). I laughed so hard i thought i was going to **** myself. I don't know what all the furry stuff is but i couldn't control the laughter. I was in tears!!! couldn't catch my breath for 30 minutes. People thought I was on drugs. I just thought this was the craziest looking thing i had ever seen!!!

The leopard print was popular when I was stationed in Jacksonville, FL. That has to be good for atleast 20 HP.

I am already not all that jacked up about trying to keep my bike clean. I can't even imagine what that thing would look like after a good trip! WTF

it would actually be cheap to clean..just run a shop vac over it for a couple of minutes..only problem would be is if you get caught in the rain it would start getting moldy..you would need to keep it in a garage full of mothballs..then you would go out for a ride and have memories of being in the 90 year old grandmothers house that smelled like mothballs..i dont meant to stereotype but im willing to bet that bike doesnt belong to a white guy..

Seen a few around here like that. Suposably, it's to save the body work as it slides.

I have seen that stuff done before. Up to this day I scratch my head and wonder what the hell are they thinking? Does it add horsepower??

I suppose that makes some sort of sense. And here I thought it was just the only thing that no one had done before (for good reason...).
