Apparently craftsmanship does not equal common sense

No fork brace either, and I like the fact that it "needs a little work" to run. Looks to me as though the long you ride it and the more bumps you hit the more the tail will sag -- there's no vertical support.

This can be yours for only $8000!

How does that riding position work?

Perhaps I should have said "talent." I guess true craftsman should have the experience to know what actually will work, not just look good. If I recall, these guys were in their early twenties, so maybe they'll figure it out with time.

No rear suspension?

Hard tail "cafe"?

No need for suspension with those spongey tires.

they didn't do any research or learning on proper design of a simple structure, that makes them ignorant or stupid fuckers, likely both
they created a runway model suitable for viewing only
and that rear is ugly because it is so poorly designed , nothing good looking about it
OFF WITH THEIR HANDS !!!

Not bad considering. I've seen stock ones go for 12000 but I think they're overpriced.

"I ride this bike every day." "I have a head injury so I can't ride anymore." And seven of the thirteen pictures are of unmentioned saddlebags.

To be fair the post does read like someone with a head injury wrote it.... kinda feel sorry for the guy.
