Isn't that an Arlen Ness bike?

EDIT: It is, check out this blog post about the creation of the Ness-talgia '57 Chevy Chopper...

I prefer the single tail-fin fender of the red one, but Ness' tank is super cool...

Crazy combination of machinery right there. I don't think I've seen either one of them. The yellow bike looks like has a supercharger on it.

That's just an aircleaner... a blown V-Twin in a Ness bike looks like this....

I'd ride those.

At night.

After Midnight.

In a strange town.

Where nobody would ever see me.

I don't think the purpose for any of them is riding... they're for sitting still.

Whatever their purpose, I'll take a pass. They don't do a lot for me.

This does.

Not sure about the open primary. I like 'em but they're supposed to be kind problematic.

I was looking at that. It looks cool, not sure I like the peg in that location though...

Pretty sure the rear peg is the chrome one. You can see the front but it's black.

The chrome is the rider peg, the black pedal is the clutch...
