    Ow, my eyes........I think my eyes just threw up.

    I like how the motor mount nuts have been painted with cloaking paint. Can't even see them at all-----it's like they're not even there! ----oh, wait.....they're not.

    I like the rust bleeding through the paint.

    I wonder what profession the professional is in........

    The muffler wrap is already chewed up

    It obviously doesn't run good.....there's no chain, nor hand controls, etc.....and it obviously doesn't stop good either, considering there's no brake controls.

    Wow.........

    What the heck is that thing they're using as a peg? Looks like a raccoon trap. "Professional custom build" for sure... professional clown!

    I like the "professional" look of the back drop. Come on, if you are a pro and trying to sell it for that price move it to a location that looks well taken care of at least....I bet she is a runner :rolleyes:

    I guess I should have said, "Why the heck is that thing they're using as a peg?" The bike is the real trap here!

    Yeah, you're right......probably the best-said statement.

    I just noticed that he said it's a combination of 3-4 bikes. Really? Three or four just to get this much?

    I'm gonna stop looking now

    "I would take $2,500 how it sits, price will rise as assembly continues"

    LOL, judging the man's work, I would say the real price will decrease the more time he puts into it.
    Unless he's paying to get it out of his yard.
    Seriously, the bike looks right at home there.
    Agree, the weed must be strong in those parts.

    After looking at that mess, I feel really good about my daily rider. If that is "$2500 as it sits," mine must be worth at least $10,000.

    That is just F'd up! Holy cow!
    Looks like an old leather jacket stretched over for a seat cover.
    Think he maybe inhaled a few paint fumes?
    A huffer or tweaker I suspect.

    Along with a very clear AS IS, NO GUARANTEES, NO RETURNS policy.....

    Mount a mailbox on the rack, stick it out at the end of the driveway, and call it yard art.
