WTF Are People Saying

I’m sorry, but this looks like “Epic Win FTW” material to me.
I second that FTW.
FTW!
omigod who’s this person that hijacked Death’s motorcycle? Someone call Terry Pratchet!
That was the first thing I thought!
Soul Music FTW
For Sale: one of a kind chopper,must see, leather in need of some TLC.
seen this before, didn’t realise it was real!
That’s not a WTF, that’s just cool.
She did mix and match bones from a variety of creatures to get ones that would fit the bike right. Note how the little hooves on the short little rear legs don’t fit the scale of the head and horns. If that critter tried to butt heads with another one, it would break its legs. That tail looks like it was rather muscular, did it come from a reptile like a crocodile? The shoulder blades come from a critter with a much larger ribcage. etc…
It is still really cool looking.
So…a really choice bike, just not USDA choice.
Just as an FYI: the bones inside the hoof itself are much smaller than the actual hooves. Hooves are akin to our fingernails, and skeletons don’t keep their fingernails once the connective tissue is gone. And cows have a lot of muscle on them, so this would have been a nice, stocky little cow in life…
My guess is this is all from similar sized animals, if not the same one, but a small one. Or they’re copies of actual bones.
You’re right. I didn’t know what a cow’s knees bones look like.
The leg is the right length, it is just folded.
A cow’s pelvis is weird. I thought that all of the spinal bones behind the pelvis would be in the tail. It seems like half of the length is inside the animal.
This kind of look generally only works if your head is also on fire.
One thing at a time. This is only a test drive.
Marry me?
i thought the exact same thing.
I bet it steers like a dream.
or like a nightmare. and i’m tempted to make a ‘steer’ pun right now, but i’d rather not be that guy.
All I know is if that guy crashes he’s boned.
Shwinn aint seen nothing like this
that’s fuckin’ awesome. I don’t do bikes anymore, but if I did, I’d want to pimp that one.
fcuk harleys, man, after seeing THAT
This is fukkin awesome. I would want this just to display it.
After taking a look at the bones in the “neck” of that thing, I would be more than a little careful when riding that thing. No sudden stops!!!
The neck and head extend from the stem, not the other way around. The front is attached at the shoulders. If actual bones were used, or even moulded copies of them, I’m sure they have metal inserts for structural strength. If you look at the rear suspension, you can see the inner side of the right rear trailing arm, indicating that the bones cover the metal.
That’s not what I meant. They look like several spikes that one could injure oneself on. Structural integrity has nothing to do with it.
I see what you mean now. I would think that if she suddenly stops, she’ll use more rear brake than front. Not the kinda bike you wanna do stoppies on, that’s for damn sure. Leave that to the crotch rocket riders.
I guess it’s a….. wait for it, BONER CYCLE.
You wouldn’t have to worry about it getting rusty. Osteoporosis maybe, but not rust.
That paid dividends.
That is a total WIN, not a WTF.
you will sure break some bones if you crash this monstrous motorcycle
That bike is made of awesome sauce.
WANT
WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT!!!!!!!
Looks like it’s a hardtail, too.
My first thought after seeing this was: I gotta play Serious Sam. NOW
But where’s the beef?
This bike can be seen in person at the Museum of Arts and Desigin in NYC. On display until October 2010.
