So my GF and I were walking around Bisbee today taking in the "eclectic" atmosphere when I spied this thing. I noticed the pipes and thought that the rest of the bike would certainty be interesting. I had no idea that this much "fuck" could stick to a single motorcycle.
Pic of GF. 
The pipes that initially attracted my attention. If loud pipes save lives, this guy must feel immortal when he rides this steed-o-dung. 
The bike was leaking oil from every seal, gasket and filter. Even both fork seals were oozing. All that oil you see on the pavement came out of this pile of shit. 
Fine craftsmanship was evidenced form every angle. 
Instrumentation consisted of a TomTom GPS with a sandwich bag over it. 
Look ma, no air filters. and bonus WTF for the clutch rigged up to the shift lever and jockey shifter. Admire the beautifully welded faux oil tank look battery box to complete the "rolling pile of shit" look.

I love metric chops. But this one is fucking garbage, and dangerous.
They keep growing in popularity, and these backyard "fabricators" get worse and worse every month, it seems. I'm all for building your own shit, even ugly budget builds. But some of these morons are going to be removed from the gene pool by riding unsafe trash like this, and they deserve it. |

OP - you feel inadequate much? MYOFB. Also, you seem to have never seen a foot-clutch jockey shift. Sorry that you're not manly enough to ride a bike that doesn't run like a Hondamatic. That dude obviously doesn't give a fuck like you do, and rides what he wants. Good on him. |

You had me at Bisbee, ain't nothing 'right' in that town.
I grew up around bikers and their choppers back in the 70's. Those were some fucked up machines. Most of that backyard engineering and fabrication was wonky as fuck, but a few guys were doing some neat shit. This is relatively mild in comparison. That exhaust is pretty insane stupid. The 60csx really does handle everything Arizona can throw at it, even though mine is getting cracks in the rubber trim. |

Backyard hardtails have been around for a LONG, LONG time - sometimes they come loose and you end up dragging ass down teh freeway. They can do whatever they like IMO, but they haven't cracked down on it in 40 years, so I doubt this dude is going to be the reason they start tomorrow. |

Those exhaust pipes are almost angled to be intakes..angle aside, who doesnt like their exhaust to blast directly onto them?
When that bike get dropped, the piped might stick dig in and fasten it to the road. Those welds might hold, but they look like shit. No airbox or filters.. good thing its not dusty in AZ. ETA- I havent built shit, doesnt change a thing. If I did build one and it looked like shit, it still wouldnt change anything regarding this chop job, there would just be another bike that looked like shit parked somewhere. I like rat rods, primitive simple machines and mad max looking rides made out of scraps, this one just has some issues. |

Actual build pics
Built this at 14 
Started on this out of highschool 
I do all my own machine work and assembly 
I'm rebuilding a 61 Willys and replacing the hurricane with a SBC right now. 
We can do gun stuff too if you want. 
Nothing I own has seen the inside of someone elses shop. I usually dont take pics of customer's stuff. But heres a few that I dont think he would mind. Every thing from the main hoop back was welded by me. I also narrowed, cross braced and 4 linked the 9inch for this car.
