WTF

Energy One
We would turn these away at the dealership. Owner wanted no part of customized, re-engineered trash baggers with questionable work, especially that bastardized audio/lighting wiring. One would not believe what can hidden inside a fairing! Its the stuff of nightmares. These guys didn't even want to pay for diagnostics but pine on about their $15000.00 paint job*raises one eyebrow* Strange folks.

Typical WTF is where Jesse Rooke comes to mind. I just so happened to be in the parking area and helped him take (spot) the bike down off his truck. Under some heavy competition he was literally biting his nails. That's when I walked up to him before the trophy presentation and said to stick around, meaning in my eyes, he's going to win something. At the time it was unique with the single rear swing arm. The front end and frame were more his bicycle fixation, or the those vintage type mongoose bicycles he grew up with.

This is the first time I have no clue what you're talking about. What bike?

Yeah--looks like an early Schwinn...the ones with a little horn button built into the gas tank. Very clean lines, but I'm not finding a clutch lever or pedal or whatever.........
So Sven, did he win an award for the bike?

Foot clutch on the left and a jockey shift right behind his leg. ? Maybe an internal throttle? And just a rear brake?
Can't believe I missed that.....duh! I even owned an original '50 Panhead for a couple of years..it had a foot clutch and a hand shift too......
That is a whole new skillset when riding!

DOG, He won best of show... And if mem serves, he didn't have the seat done so he showed it seatless. Like who gave a shit when it was that radical and this side of avant-garde.

Why are her/his tastes less valid than yours. I think it looks cool. Not my style, but I appreciate the art. Very balanced and give the vibe I assume was the goal. I wish I had that eye, talent, dollars:)
Unfortunately everyone is entitled to their opinion.
