What do you make of this? http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/Ne...s/?R=EPI-99869

Now that isn't just thinking outside the box - That is burning the box to keep warm while you drop some acid and dream up something that wild!

I want one!!!!!

Allmond's creation retains only the standard engine and part of the shaft drive. What suits my fancy regarding this bike is that is seems to be built around the engine. The engine is the focal point. The other thing I like, is that it is not overly stretched. It seems to be more of a street fighter themed bike as opposed to a stretched out limo-chop. For that reason, I prefer it to Dusold's Metric Revolution bike. I like the nakedness of it. Obviously, the front-end is wild and the single sided swingarm is cool as well. It almost appears cobby.

Funny. And true!! I really like the bike. Looks like Confederate got hold of a Rocket...

Freakin' ridiculous. What's the point of building a big sport bike around a monstrous, heavy, inefficient engine?

[Marcus.Haner]

The point is that he can and he did....I bet it rides better than anything OCC ever built...

[TRIIICK]

Interesting build.... has anyone seen a road test result.??

[meanchuck]

It's a shame it doesen't have any lights or anything to make it road legal, kind of a waste to build a bike that cool and not be able to actually ride it on the road.

AWESOME. Can't see any reason to criticize that. Well done.
