Some people should not be allowed matches, some should not be allowed beer and some should be kept away from welders, torches and customization fabrication equipment.
Meet Greyson Perry from Merry Old London. He's a ... well ... you check him out here at RideLust.com. You'll find the story of his self-customized Harley (at least he can't blame someone else) and his trip through Europe.

Very scary.
CAN AM SPYDER made the New York Times with a review by a staff writer. Seemed he liked the ride of the top-of-the-line, automatic-transmissioned three-wheeler, after he got used to the way it steers and the way it doesn't.
"... for a rider expecting familiar motorcycle handling and feedback, the Spyder’s steering could be unnerving. Motorcycles (and other single-track vehicles) negotiate turns by countersteering — the rider pulls back on the left handlebar to turn right, an action so natural that riders pay no attention to the apparent contradiction," wrote Daniel McDermon.
"But the Spyder, which steers by turning the two front wheels and transfers engine power to the pavement through the single rear wheel, required me to turn the handlebars in the same direction I wished to go. I adjusted to that oddity after an hour or two, but the first 50 miles on the Spyder found me reminding myself how to turn the thing: to counter-countersteer," he wrote.
Too much thinking for me. I enjoyed the ride I took on one. Check 'em out at Virginia Power Motor Sports on U.S. 29 in Ruckersville.
In LAS VEGAS, Harrah's Laughlin, the Nevada casino where where two motorcycles clashed in 2002, killing clubbers and injuring bystanders, settled with five non-combatants who were injured in the fracas.
