I like all of it except the price tag.

Either way I would look like a moron on that thing. I don't have the big *** cruiser build.

It looks kinda interesting, in an unconventional sort of way. Definitely not my type though, and I don't have the build to sport something like that either.

I like it, but wouldn't buy one. Even if I could afford it.
