There's some pure evil up in there^ my god. I love seeing all the competitors custom bikes.



I helped block down the green monster-alien looking bike called Predasaurus" to get it based in a pearl white before the art happened. I hate sanding down primer, but this totally makes it worth it while looking back. Awesome to see it getting this exposure.


here's some of my photos that i took of the "Predasaurus" bike from before it started getting around everywhere and getting so much exposure:




^ man i wish i had been able to set up a proper infinity wall... but no.

and one of mine with a little touch of some of my secret digital sauce:



...but if you want to see some photography that's top knotch of these mind blowing bikes, check this guy:

I saw a guy on a custom $35,000 bike total it within 2 hours of getting it on the street. He was showing off his new turbo charged toy, doing a huge burnout in at an intersection of a local ride I was in. 15 seconds into the burnout his seat apparently caught fire and he let go of the brake and the bike took off. Pretty sure it totaled the truck it hit too :D

I hate them. Ugly IMO

Man, such downers in here. ..I don't care much for the culture that surrounds the custom bike scene, but as someone who enjoys customizing, building, and creating things in general, I've got a lot of respect for the art form displayed and skills required in creating such meticulous rolling works of art.

not everything in life can be like the average e30, no straights or show and all corner go... cause then that corner you've put yourself into will eventually turn into a straight, then your dirty 30 gets covered in even more dust.

So the response i've gotten so far is that the only people who are even remotely interested enough to comment both think bike building is a waste... you tell that to the bmw r75 that is featured amongst those custom bikes. I have the retarded cone filters, but I love its antiqued finish, how everything is made to look aged and authentic, even though you can clearly see the custom alterations and that the beemer was not originally built like that:

^ you can't tell me that doesn't look like a summer sunday afternoon of bliss ^

I may not like every custom bike, but I absolutly, positively, respect the fab/finishing talent that is required to create them.

I wish I had the skill these guys do.

The talent is amazing. I agree with everybody there 100%. YET the bikes like the one in the OP are just sort of dumb.

Cafe racers are more my taste

The first bike is my least favorite. I like the industrial looking customs much better.
