Why won't this thing go away! I can't believe they are using it for another tour of duty on the show circuit...

Yeah, it appears like the poor girl is coping with dandruff and psoriasis......I'm also seeing..... asbestos... wet suit... for some reason.

I'm wondering the same thing. It looks worse now than it did a year ago. I'm glad I missed it at the show today. Someone put a bullet in that thing and put it out of its misery.

It'll probably sell at Barrett-Jackson next year for $120,000

If it did I'd leave the industry - no joke.

There's no chance of that happening unless they sell it for a charity like they did this year with the Richard Petty (fake) Superbird. $501,000...

I'm right behind Desmoworks if it does happen though.

not big fan of the bike either but you cant deny that it has some trick stuff on it. I.E. the swingarm and the exhaust... not to mention all the bolt on bling. Not to take away from desmo works but I dont see you building a one off swing arm for the hyper. It takes more than installing bolt on parts to be a bike builder. Sometimes it takes stepping out of the norm and building something not everyone will like. Personally think think the wheels are the biggest turn off.... but I have never owned much less built a bike that could be mentioned in the same sentence with barrett-jackson. Im lucky to get market value when I sell my bikes.

Roland has some cool bikes and has an interesting personal history. Everyone has their own style and talent, but not everyone gets paid for it.................Roland does............case closed!

Out!
