Holy hell on my way to get this jewel

it looks like he had a small child draw a picture of a dirt bike...and then he tried to build an actual dirt bike that looked just like their picture...

Don’t forget your checkbook!

The Heisenberg Edition...

This reminded me of a bike I saw a few months ago. I snapped a few pics so I could admire this work of art even further. Gotta love the high rise tank. 

my step son was in on the early development of this bike.

Woah. Just woah.
This thing is probably the most amazing ever.

The nightmare of all nightmares.

Is the "top shock mount" actually mounted on the "subframe"?

The Homer 

Someone turn him in to the DOT. He stole a couple of street signs to build those upper frame rails.😆

Hopefully this joke lands...
When I was in the Corps, they had these posters in the battalion office...  I was stationed in the high desert (29 Palms).





 

Jett would still win on that…

Come on dude, save some trim for the rest of us.

He had me at the point I noticed the pipe is held on by safety wire.  SLEEK BUILD.

Works kit on this one. I know its 2001, but this was MC's works bike. Only thing left is the Suspension. Easily worth 15k. 

Found the garage it was built in...

Knock 2 zeroes off and I would buy, but shipping is expensive, so maybe locals only 

I'm not buying until I know what color the powerband is. 

Probably has a  CR500 poweband. 
They fit if you take a bit off the sides. 

We expect a full report in the morning. 

I’m hoping for a build thread

No, you should probably move 

I hear the Factory Edition version comes with Icon combo wrenches instead of the standard Harbor Freight ones…

Apocalypse Edition…😂😂😂

Hollywood will pay full price for it, and it will be in the next mad max movie.  then a cult following will form and create an entire community doing these types of builds. we can say we remember when we saw it on vital before the seen took off..

Don't forget to torque the sprocket bolts.

Linked braking, Flintstone Edition 

You gotta admit, there's this morbid curiosity to go look at the bike and meet the dude that built it . . .

Might actually make for a great interview. 

She's a beaut. Just uploading the pictures to this thread for posterity.

Just watch Soft White Underbelly's interview with The Whittakers on YouTube, same deal 😂

It's a dude who used to be Google's main man photographer interviewing a severely limited gene pool family from out in the sticks in West Virginia.

I imagine there will be parallels.

It looks like a movie prop, and is to me a better 'post apocalyptic' bike than the new Furiosa Movie which has Brand new WR450's with stuff on them and Brand New BMW road bikes with stuff on them.  

This is weird enough to actually feeling post apocalyptic and built from parts

Does it have speeds?

There's really some design innovation there.  Yamaha thought it was a big deal with the reversed cylinder?  Psssh, please.  How about a reversed, (and shortened) seat?  Remove the rear brake equipment for lighter weight, but keep the disc to balance out the rotational inertia of the rear wheel.  Multi- position insertion points for the subframe into the main "frame" for quick and easy ride height adjustments.  On and on.

I was thinking about a road trip with a trailer until I read the description.  1.5 inch funnel?  Blew the whole thing for me.  Everybody knows any funnel beyond 1.4 is just unrideable.

Thanks for posting OP.  Pure gold.
