I will be perfectly honest. I have no patience for history and so, this is going to be quick. I could give this a pass, but this custom motorcycle is too intriguing not to share. What you see here is a custom motorcycle.

The focus is not what goes beyond the stunning copper body; the focal point is the body. Never mind that it is not aerodynamically sound, the angular form and the copper gave it a look that I just can’t take my eyes off.
