Default Finally, something original at bike night

i haven't gone to local bike nights in a long time because basically i was tired of seeing 40 super sports and the only difference in them is some would have polished frames or something flashy like that, and i was really tired of seeing every other rider sporting a helmet mo hawk (for those that do have one, just know you are not original). anyways my sister came to visit and so we went over to zorba's and lucky i did cause i saw this. fighter'd r1 and although nothing on it was my style, it was well done for what it is and definitely very original.
The first thing i noticed as he rode by was he had a gatlin gun on the back and it was spinning, so i went over to check it out.




its actually his exhaust and you can just see the turbine that spins it. also he drilled notches in the sub frame to resemble a machine gun vent sleeve (i dont know what its actually called on the gun). i thought it was pretty cool, not cool in that id put it on my bike but as you can see its really clean, matches his military theme, and is something ive personally never seen before. i wanted to find the owner and ask him about it but the only person around the bike i could find was some guy named sasquatch

anyway, comments welcome, also would be nice to see more pics of original stuff you've seen, whether or not you'd do it to your bike

The gatling gun on a bike is sweet. Haven't seen that before. Now if it only worked...

yeah they must be bright, the bike looks like a woman w/ implants bigger than her head walkin down the street. i wouldn't be surprised if he snagged those off an aircraft landing lights or something. i dont go to zorba's too often but ill most likely be going more because im done with summer school and id like to talk to this guy about fabrication. i still cant believe i missed the night sport rider or some magazine like that came out . i wanted to follow the photographer around and get my bike in the background of every shot

oh you mean superstreet bike magazine?

Dont worry they only used a page in the magazine to cover the event.

The event was HUGE though. I think it was actually larger than the anniversary this year and the anniversary is usually pretty big.

maybe just as useless, but this took some thought, planning/designing, and fabrication skills. like i said, it isnt my style and would never have anything close to this on my bike, but i think its pretty cool for what it is.

those mohawks just take 20 bucks and something to moisten the suction cups. to me, wearing those are like riding down the street screaming "LOOK AT ME, I RIDE A MOTORCYCLE. HEY GIRLS LOOK, ITS KINDA LIKE IM A BAD BOY WITH A MOHAWK AND I RIDE A MOTORCYCLE. LOOK!!! LOOK!!!"

Sorry to ruin your 'party' but its not THAT original. Yes, someone else could use that pipe and not do anything else with it like that. But I think anyone with the time/money/some what of an imagination could do it.
