Default Crazy Customs

O.K,
So I was scrolling the net and came across these examples of "skull bikes" and I've got to say there's a lot of hours in these bikes. While not our loved CBRs I think they are worth sharing,
Let's see what cool customs people have saved in their albums.

Yes, it does say TDi. What makes them even more interesting is the engine:



The Neander twin crank system is told to be almost entirely vibration free as the two shafts cancel each others out.

I saw that bike a while ago. I'd LOVE to have a go with that. Think about the torque! Sure, you'd only have 4k in revs... The Lupo that the motor comes out of makes 145 ft/lbs tq - and they've said they modified it to make more power. That'd be really fun.


I saw a turbo diesel chopper at this bike show that I worked at. It was an awesome sound that it made as it took off from the parking lot. Before I die...I want to try one

The only thing about this bike is that you'd look like you were raping a chrome skeleton if you rode it.

It doesn't need a fuel tank; Show Bike; trailered between shows. No real need for a fuel tank because it probably never actually runs.

A bit like asking Mona Lisa what she eats.

Of course; who can resist the overpowering worldwide influence of a Mac Attack?

Personally, I just love one of their little $2.00 cheeseburgers and then a Quarter Pounder to finish off with.

But I always find after a couple of hours, most outrageous thirst.

What do they put in those burgers that makes me so thirsty, long after I have left their store??

About 3 times the amount of salt needed for a grown person per day
