            Im pretty sure that anything using a folded up tire inner tube as a seat falls in the POS category.

                    I find it too ugly to love. Just as he stated in the ad!

                    But like women, there is a match for everyone.

                      Hi Zapper,
                      the link proves I was right in saying that those 2-wheeled Winnebagos ARE bikes once you get all that plastic stripped off them.
                      A work in progress, of course. Needs a real seat, a better headlight and some turn signals. But to say it's ugly? Then so's a Ducati.

                        Naw, a Duck has a bit of artistry in the frame member geometry, and a recognizable gas tank. That thing looks like a pig farming accouterment.

                              Hi Zapper,
                              thanks for posting the new link. That 'wing conversion has everything a bike needs and nothing that it don't. I dunno why you hate it so.
