Well it's definitely interesting.  Not something I'd want to ride very far but man you have to hand it to him for being creative!

I've seen it before... that thing is just hidious.  I would ride it for around 10 minutes as a novelty given the opportunity.

Ride fast and take chances... uh, I mean... ride safe folks.

Looks like one of the creatures from the "Alien" franchise.

Here there be Dragons.

Ithought at first that it was a crotch rocket of some sort... but the footpeg looks to be from a v-twin sport tourer or the like...  Can't be sure with all the junk around it.

Not even on a bad day would that interest me.  Only word that comes to mind is FUGLY.  Sorry but, it is, what it is.  I've been told that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, all I'm gonna do is try to find out what the creator has been drinking and avoid it at all costs.

I was about to say it looks like bio-mechanics from H. R. Gieger...

He is the guy who "designed" the "Alien". 

Great minds think alike!   ;D

That is freaking awesome!

Of course, I've always been a major fan of H.R. Giger's work, which that was obviously based off of...

Comfortable? Of course not. Practical? Not in a million years, but I'd proudly have that parked next to the Valk in my stable if I had the means...

Never ask a geek 'Why?',just nod your head and slowly back away...

Well it's not something I would have come up with but man you have to admire him for the work he put into it even if it's not a style or design you like.  It's not just another bike with some store bought chrome bolted on and labeled "custom".  It would be fun to see how he attached everything and how it was constructed. 

I wouldn't call it "pretty" but to each their own and the work is impressive.
