It's not the bike, but the plate on this K1600 beemer made me smile.

Not exactly random. I took the pic and chatted to the rider, a rather eccentric young Englishman.

Im almost sure I'd get the bus home

Doesn't need a stand at least.

Fork travel is somewhat limited too.

It gets ridden and in the rain too!

What's happening with forks/front end?

Leading link, much more rigid than any telescopic forks which, when you're steering bike and sidecar, may be important.

Harley Davidson 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Concept Motorcycle by Jakusa Atlantico.
Take a very American iron horse, throw in some 1936 French art deco car design and you get the stunning Harley-Davidson Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic concept bike.
It’s the work of Hungarian car and bike designer Tamas Jakus whose Jakusa Design house fuses old-school and futuristic design concepts.
The Jakusa Atlantico is modelled on the curvaceous 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic of which only four were built. Two remain today. One was sold a few years ago for more than $40 million and the other is in the Ralph Lauren collection.
It takes a Fat Boy and encases it in aerodynamic bodywork, a grill-covered engine and bold solid wheels.
The exterior painted the blue-sky color with rounded body shape that characterizes the pre WW II design. Its front wheels wearing a special tire cover as a characteristic features of the vintage cars, machinery sector closed frame shaped like the Bugatti's front grille. Small front lights were lowered as to compensate for the magnitude of tank. It’s an adventurous concept, but like the original Bugatti Type 57SC, it might be a bit ahead of its time, so we don’t think Harley is ready just yet to make such a bike.

^ I quite like that!

It's very steam punk, I don't like it, but I do think it's good.

That looks like a serious home-brew build! I'll give it a just for being totally bonkers.

Not just more rigid. The sideways forces on a cornering sidecar outfit tend to jam telescopic forks.
