I have to admit this is one of the most original custom jobs I have seen.

I really like the way the builder went hardtail and changed the tank to finally build a bike with the correct tank line.  The paint job truly caught the Mad Max apocalyptic vibe. 

Extra points for not including any windblown discarded McDonalds wrappers or spray paint in the photo.  Nice to see someone who is as tired of all the cafe cliches as I am.

Still waiting so see someone build a Brick Chopper.  A Kapitan Deutschland easy rider ride.  The one time a German Wehrmacht helmet would be appropriate head wear.

Extra bonus: his splines should last FOREVER!

(Not that I anticipate that he'll be riding thousands of miles on that).

Lars, that's close, but I'm looking for something with a springer, sissy bar, stepped seat, ape hangers and a peanut tank.  Extra points if the springer and the sissy bars are twisted wrought iron.
