Meh...I don't mind it any more than any of the crap those Teutul retards crank out as sorry excuses for bikes.

As impractical as it may be, at least it's closer to the original chopper theme - some guy built it on his own with minimal resources.

Not only is the view blocked, it's blocked by two huge pointy metal spikes aimed right at him about a nose-bridge apart.
