The power of a supersport, the steering of a scooter and the ride position of a hog...

Slam on the brakes and those bars will just flop forwards :lol:

[Sid Squid]

WTF,FF happened there?

What happens between the ears of some people is just a mystery to me.

A quid says he's a yank. You seen the size of the mental hospitals over there?:smt081

I think it takes a lot of effort to take a piece of precision engineering, remove everything that makes it what it is and pervert it to such a degree while still thinking you're doing the right thing. For this alone, the person who created it should be applauded - but they should be prevented from touching another motorcycle as long as they live.

Sorry couldnt resist ;)

I prefer to encourage individual thought - as long as it stays at least 3000 miles away from me at all times

[widepants]

gotta be a yank. That guy has a neck fatter than his head

[Jayneflakes]

Wow, maybe I can win bike of the night next year if I did that to mine! I really like* the position and how it makes the bike look.



* is lies. :D

Owner of said monstrosity needs to be slapped with a wet fish......end of.

[dizzyblonde]

It would improve the handling no end........ Perhaps he wishes to improve his tree inspecting skills with it?

[Drew Carey]

Quick google......apparently not the first time!!!! :-|

Yes....a Bandit with Ape Hangers?!?!?!?! There are others.

Small word of caution - some of these adaptations may be to allow a disabled biker to stay on the road. That Bandit with high-rise bars and a backrest could be the only way the rider can get comfy enough to stay on two wheels.

But if not they should be shot!

Really? A few inches higher bars I could understand but there is no way in hell bars which are a foot above your shoulders can ever be comfortable.

[Mark_h]

Hey man..... Look what happened when I took the backrest off....

Cadwell park, it'd be perfect round there!

I preferred looking at number 4

I'd put cave diving as much more lunatic than rock climbing...

That pick and the comments here causes me to have some genuine LOLs. I suppose it depends on the tone and self awareness in which it was done. Imagine if one of us did it to their SV for a joke just for one of the ARs and turned it back to stock afterwards? I think most people would think it was a hoot.

I recently lashed a Sheeps skull (which I found whilst trail riding) to the 'beak' of my GS. It was a bit of a mickey take on people putting skulls on their bike to look threatening. I suppose you could view this pic as the same thing; misappropriating some other aspect of motorcycle culture and putting it on an inappropriate bike.

That all said, I'll go for 10:1 odds it's an American gentleman who believes that this looks awesome. :D

Oh please, how many of them things could you get round a full circuit of the TT :lol:

It could well be the most dangerous group of all!!

[Sid Squid]

Look at number five!
Michael Rutter's TT bike from 2011 isn't it?

What google search do people use to get these pictures??

...they should be prevented from touching another motorcycle as long as they live.

If they try to ride that thing at speed, then they probably will never touch another motorcycle again, as long (or more likely, as short) as they live.

The words 'terminally stupid' spring to mind.

Glad to see horse riding in there. When I had a week off work following a motorcycle injury and was getting a lot of stick for it, I pointed out the chap who had a month off after he gave himself a heart attack doing a marathon and the lady who had 2 weeks off due to a broken limb from an equestrian activity.

Motorcycling is undeniably dangerous, but people still seem to place it in a special class of recklessness (probably because of the lingering perception of us as all a bunch of HAs), whereas they're generally prepared to shrug off accidents in other areas of life as "just one of those things".
