Someone left him home alone unsupervised with the welder and a fridge full of beer.

I've seen some wild things around here myself, some come pretty close to this...normally the result of alcohol and unlimited access to power tools.

I think you're right. The above phrase is pretty much the ultimate male dream! :lol:

But who am I to talk? I embark on elaborate and whimsical constructions of my own from time to time to clear my head. Right now, I'm building something much more bizarre than what that guy's riding -- but infinitely more safe. (I'll post a Youtube video when it's done. :thumright:

)

I guess where I differ from the photo's example of a "shop project gone mad", is that I never venture much into the danger zone. Whereas, guys like him seem to passionately pursue idiotic risks, proportional to the available alcohol. :lol:

That's the other place I differ: I don't drink 'n build. :shameonyou:

My favorite part is the giant leather streamers... :lmao:

I think the extended exhaust is a bit much, though. :chin:

:lol: Can't decide. That doesn't look very comfortable. Given the bright, happy colors, I could have voted for "regressing to his toddler days', but he wants to feel like the cool biker dude doesn't he? So Then I couldn't decide between "drying his arm pits", or the funnier choice of "cry for help" as the possition is similar to hanging off of something. Hahahah.... :lol: :lol:

I think that guy is both very cool and very stupid at the same time. :lol: And he definitely has a death wish, so I voted 3.

He's trying to dry out his armpits. Or, maybe his arms are stuck in that position due to the line of work he's in and he wants to enjoy being a hardcore biker and not a crotch rocket enthusiast.

I second that!

I am all for allowing people do whatever makes them genuinely happy. But this is obviously a "Look at me" sort of thing and somehow other people are supposed to be impressed or awed by the extremity or potential danger involved. I just don't follow that logic though. Hell, I can't even believe that thing's street legal.
