Just the wildest bunch of bikes I have ever seen. Pure art and mechanical genius.
Powerful art on wheels! tthe reason you don’t see more radical custom bikes like this is really quite simple, they cost big bucks to put together. Not even counting the time in designing and workmanship, parts chrome plating,, custom fabrication and naturally a custom paint job can easily set you back tens of thousands of dollars. Personally, I doubt that you’d ever recoup the real cost put into one of these unique custom motorcycles.
I recall some years ago seeing a custom motorcycle for sale that was called ‘Money to Burn’, for a very good reason. Obviously the artisans that put these motorcycle works of art together, could care less about recouping their investment, and probably more intent on having an awe-inspiring, totally unique motorcycle work of art!
I could never get tired of looking at these great motorcycle works of art, but, for me I rather by an American Ironhorse or Big Dog factory custom motorcycle and put my own personalized modifications on it. well, the number one reason for this,, is because I don’t have money to burn . . . At least the kind of money it takes to put together one of these radical custom bikes. By purchasing one of these cool looking and basically tested and reliable factory custom bikes, I think the motorcycle enthusiast would end up with a proven, rideable semi-work of art!

I’ve been at a couple of Hot-Rod and motorcycle shows here in Southern California where a couple of these unique customs were entered into the competition. Now, obviously bikes like this would draw big crowds, and as most shows judge the motorcycle and hot-rods entries by their looks, obviously, a practical rideable custom bike doesn’t stand much of a chance when it competes against one of these radical custom motorcycles that are usually trailered into the shows.
