Built by Peter Dent of Vancouver. Royal Enfield frame with a Hillman Imp motor.
I'm impressed!

Royal Enfield frame? I guess I haven't been keeping up. The only Royal Enfield frames I know about are the British and India built bikes.
I guess I need to get out more.

Well done but I don't see the point.
Looks like it would be a heavy pig.

I bit of both, along with bits from lots of other bikes.

Some people just need something to do.

That looks like Jesse James' (one of my least favorite people) radial engined bike.
As a piece of art it succeeds.

Clearly not meant to be ridden, but if it has enough parts to actually ride even a little ways that would be cool. Something like Howard Hugh's Spruce Goose. I would think heat management might be an issue and I wonder if Duane would let me put crash bars on it.

What the hell is that big chrome handle looking thing going from under the seat to perhaps the rear peg brace? Is that a pannier frame? Seems like an awfully inelegant solution for a custom.

It looks like a crash bar to me. From what I hear the bike is ridden regularly.
