The seat looking like he wrapped vinyl over a 2x6 and set it on edge. I'd spend 15 seconds looking at that in person and wouldn't put it in my garage for free. A two wheeled cartoon. Skilled work, but still a cartoon.

I'd rather watch a monkey have intimate relations with an NFL regulation football.

Then, the frame, custom-made by Lawshe from scratch, holding a 1981, fully exposed Shovelhead engine that has been stripped of the cooling and oiling components. The engine starts by means of an exposed kicker mechanism, is controlled by an EMF auto clutch, and breathes through an inverted fishtail exhaust.

Lawshe would have taken the bike to an auto show this year as well, but now he’s left with showing his masterpiece online (see the video below). We reckon his has a lot of chances at one of the three awards Harley will announce next week for the bikes in The No Show."

The online bike show, that Harley is promoting over the past week, has had some very interesting bikes making a debut. This one sure is unique and when he fires it up, in the video below, the engine is a thing of beauty.

Like 99.9% of these 'show' bikes, it's nothing but a waste of a good motor that someone who will actually ride could really use.

At about 2 minute he starts the bike. It is a god damn cut away motor that runs, if that doesn't do anything for you, I got nothing left to say.

Nope, this doesn't do it for me, but I can appreciate the amount of effort and work that went into making it what it is.

I think it's cool for what it is
but curious, with the lack of lubrication, how long could that motor actually run without damage ?
