Weld out his new motorcycle!

Tell me this bike is not lovely.

Beauty is more than skin deep in this case, its a good bike as well.

Looks like Weld designed it himself, except the original design is much, much older than he is!

Lovely machine, indeed. That said, I wouldn't be able to resist tweaking it. I'd probably chop that kickstand off and move it forward, paint the rear coils black and lose that awful rear fender. It would be a terrific starting point.

It looks like the lower plastic half of the rear fender is easily removable, likely with that thought in mind.

Interesting to note is that the bike in the middle image is different. A one piece fender and silver coils on the rear shocks.

Indeed, that's a great looking bike!
