I'm sure others will disagree, but wow that is ugly.

I've always felt these were weird looking too, but the wackiness and adjustability of the handlebars has always intrigued me.

I think Gary was smoking something when he came up with this one.

It would be interesting to ride though....he has always been obsessed with ride quality and comfort.

I did get to ride it, and it was extremely comfortable putting aside how ugly it is

I should also mention that the front end took a minute to get used to it was kind of wobbly back and forth..

Here's proof that I saw this Jackalope in person, just in case there are any non believers out there.

Many cool parts however I could not justify $450 worth. I really had a hard time justifying $300, if he would of even taken that. Lol.
It's a 24 inch back and a 26 inch front wheel.

I think someone should get this crazy thing!!!
Kingfish?....RatRod?....
A.S. BOLTNUT?.....ANYONE???

 

[Rat Rod]

I think Kingfish had his chance at one of these before.

If you swapped out the fork and bars with something more tame like a set of triple trees and some regular cruiser bars it might not look as crazy. It just has too much inspector gadget going on in one bike.

 

[A.S.BOLTNUT]

Too tell the truth , if I wasn't working on a few projects already, I would love to have it.

I have never seen so many ideas fit into such a small space before. It's glorious but not in a way the makes me spend that much money on.

Yeah, there was this one on CL from Alabama or Tennessee. I don't remember the price, but it was more than I was willing to pay.

If Gig is not biting then you know there is something really wrong here!

 

[A.S.BOLTNUT]
