This really makes me want to invest on actual riding boots instead of my Walmart tims. Also it reminds me of that video where the guy says something like "nothing is as powerful as the sun" before smacking into the back of a mail truck.

This pretty much seals the deal, cafe/brat/whatever are just the choppers of the 2010s. In a few years expect to find $70,000 custom CL350s on craigslist. Barnetts is now printing "Bike Craft"  If you don't know who Barnetts is they're the same assholes who make things like this

Tactical Triumph? But how does it do crossfit, talk about all the times it's trained with SWAT, and endlessly fap over high speed low drag clipon flashlights?

They've tactically omitted a frame and rely on the super-stiff triumph parallel twin engine for rigidity.

God there are so many terrible things about that bike. I just noticed the dual berringer calipers/rotors. If the bike was as light as it should be with a setup like that you would only need one.

With basically no frame and two beringer brakes it's worse than that, it's outright dangerous

Needs 40w, throws 2500-3000 lumens, compared to ~700 for a 40w Halogen. They kind of look cooler than the Ferarri ones, too. http://www.ebay.com/bhp/mini-cooper-xenon

The guys who built that "Loaded Gun Customs" also built another bike called "Bucephalus", yeah. They made a custom frame for that one that looked even more ridiculous than this no frame. I took a pass on posting this video on our blog cause he seems to be and actual mechanic but it's pretty dopey http://vimeo.com/696509

I'd actually like to read that article and see if they explain how you can use an engine as a stressed member when the engine wasn't designed to be used as a stressed member. That's like using a gas tank as part of the frame or something, you can't just do that without redesigning it, surely.

Building a custom bike isn't about stuff you read in books and poo poo, that's just stuff someone else made up to keep you confined. It's about putting your soul into it and doing things by hand like a crafstman would have in the 60's, man.

Look, man, I don't know how to tell you this, but these days, in our world of over-engineered safety, our government control, Obamacare, there is no danger anymore. There is a quietly beating pulse somewhere left there, in the red blooded men who invest in old watches, hard steel, and real machinery, but it's a latent force, subsumed by the marginalization of the American dream, of the lost souls of old experts, the longing of a people for freedom from the constraints of a society that doesn't care, has forgotten how to feel, is more invested in their cell phone than the looming majesty of the open road, of customized steeds and just picking a direction. They're trying to recapture that magic. Take away the safety net. Let us live freely, on our own! Let us heed the desire, no, the need to use our cranks as a stressed member. Let the latent masculinity rise like the picket fences of yore, and ride to the gulch of enlightenment on a steed that is built out of the power of an ideological purity, of no need for a frame through which to view the world or experience the ride. This is real. This is power. This is the ultimate expression of what it means to be a captain of your own industry. Available for purchase starting from $34,000. Financing available.

That is pretty tempting. Totally inappropriate looking on my bike but I still like the idea of screwing around with it.

So, with these are the headlights in the Ferrari stacked one on top of the other, or are they mounted horizontally? I ask because, isn't there a little piece of metal in the projector housing acting as a cutoff? It seems like if you wanted to use any car headlight you would have to modify the cutoff or completely remove it.
