Your passive-aggressive is showing. Bitter much?
Nah, but bored a lot. and aggressive but not passive.

it's right there on the photo.
www.dbbp.com doesn't seem to work. But http://74.54.120.132/dbbp/index.html does.
Things are not always what they appear. Have patience grasshopper. Maybe a DNS issue ?

My thought exactly!!!
Not PS. all drawn from scratch, to scale. all engines are painstakingly measured piece by piece, including internals, and modeled using this software http://www.ptc.com/appserver/mkt/products/home.jsp?k=403.

a lot of that just doesn't look feasible but I do like the exhaust and the rear brake rotor built into the sprocket

Man, i was thinking tassels (braided of course) would be frikin awesome and some more billet would be nice.

Well, since there is no front brake......and the first time you apply the rear brake it doesn't work because the chain lube has coated the pads of that innovative design..... might be the last ride........I do like the pipes, though!

Yeah, the infamous "Sprotor" has the same issue. Show only for the most part, function = not so good...

why would you put chain lube on it?

x2 , but I do see the point of lube getting on there, if the countershaft seal is leaking it becomes a self oiling chain
... I do still like the exhaust

You literally have to be a gorilla to have proper riding posture oh this deathtrap. I get a back cramp just looking at it...maybe it's all the shoveling.
Sure is pretty though.....the engine that is.

Why is there a plug wire on the left cylinder, but not on the right?

The engine color gave me thought. Since the engine cases and side covers are made of aluminum, can they anodized?

You guys don't lube your chains?
I never once used chain lube on my bike last season ... For some reason my bike seems to have an automatic oiler

I just wipe the surface of my x-ring chains occasionally. I don't ride in crappy conditions, and you can't get lube into the rollers-just keep the outside looking fresh. I never have any chain goop on my wheel, frame etc, and they last a long time.
The sprotors are used on a lot of bikes, and any lube would sling out. I've never had one, though.
The bike doesn't really invite thoughts of a long ride, but its more rideable than a lot of customs. It looks more rideable than quite a few we've seen here for that matter.
I like the looks/lines, and the detail is great. A lot to look at there.
The muffler is a modern version of a "Brooklands Can" You can google that-a lot of cool pictures, and its neat to have a little history reference on the bike I think.

I would love to have this on display in my shop, a work of art! Would I want to ride it? I'm with everyone else on that one, but art it is. Personaly I think it would look better with a vintage v-twin to fill the frame better but that is just my taste, I still like it
