Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder! What a real biker is can not be judged by a RUB! So STFU Betty!
(If you get that upset because some one has a different perception of what is attractive, or you want to dictate what is appealing to them, perhaps you would be happier not using public forums...)
BTW, we all enjoy some pride in our own ride and there will always be some one else who doesn't appreciate what we've done. If yer all trying to tell me that you need to impress everyone in order to feel proud, I'm just going to keep smilin...
As for the bet...
I'd laugh even harder than I am now, if we all found out that bike was staged by somebody like Jay Leno...

It's not my cup of tea, but each to there own. I'd still ride with pride beside them.

People want attention in many different ways,
This bike just reflects the owners method of attracting attention to himself,
Personally, I prefer this method of gaining attraction,

I like the look of the bike. And if the owner is traveling or lives on the bike (true freedom) I have no issue with the stuff strapped to it. I bet it is paid for.
My wife asks why anyone would ride a bike like that and I always reply "Yes sir officer I don't mind if you search the vehicle, just put everything back where you found it."

I would ride next to him, probably not behind him, but defiantly next to him with pride. Wonder how much that thing weighs?
