Thanks for sharing Pinhy.
A lot of cool looking bikes there. I lean towards the custom bikes that still look comfortable enough to ride. Some of the other custom bikes look impressivley ceative, but torture on the nether regions.

I like the blacked out bike with dragpipes...custom meanstreak ??...looks cool. What is it?

Also liked the flames on the blue M50.

That bike with the weird shaped tank looks like it forms a spike directly towards the gonads. I hope it doesn't have brakes, as I wouldn't want to use them. Ouch!!
