Good re use of a horse's hay feeder as combined handlebars and headlight guard.

I bet that dash is highly readable in bright sun... but I suppose since no-one would actually ride it anywhere, it doesn't matter.

The Meccano is strong in this one. Stick it on a plinth somewhere, it's never getting ridden.

I can't see any way they could make it worse.

Overall it's okay, it's too shiny for my taste, the lobster front pipes are stupid, the tyres are like balloons and the cantilever for the shock is nowhere near strong enough.

An artsy caricature and I like it as that. The riding part has bags of not want.

There's none of that bike that I want.
From the open carbs, through the dodgy seat, the daft tyres, the overall look, the Triumph engine they started with and the Humbrol enamel they seemed to have used to paint it with.

Not for me, and from the rear the seat looks surprised that the back wheel is there.

I like it for what it is, a piece of metal fabrication art. Would I ride it, probably not, but I appreciate the skill and creativity of it. However I used to buy Back Street Heroes every now and then, not because I was into the chopper/custom bike scene, but I did like looking at the creativity of really good bike builders, every now and then.
It's a bit like custom Hot Rods, I'm not a fan boy, but the skills of the builders on some of the cars are very impressive. I've recently started watching Make it Kustom channel on Youtube - the lad's fabrication skills are very impressive.
