In school you probably learned that truth is beauty and hence beauty is truth. Truth be told there’s something equally beautiful about simplicity, and it doesn’t get much simpler that this brutally parsimonious custom Harley, the del Rey. Get more simple here.

Elf is 11 in Dutch and German… This is a Renault 11 with number 11 And 3 times the word 11!
Well, 18 is two elfs in Swahili………this is Ford GT 18 with number 18 and 3 times the word 18.
Well the French flag on the front end is a nice feature!
I didn't even notice that! That's hilarious!
Two elfs bigger than your elfs.

Four elfs is bigger, extra set of steering wheels is bigger too.

You win with the extra elfing wheels!
I'll throw in a simple German.

http://www.bikeexif.com/ a must see site for minimalist special bikes.
Airhead boxers look sooo good butched up with knobbies! Needs to lose the pipe wrap, though.
An other German minimalist is the Sachs Beast

Hmmm…rigid frame, no seat pad, minimal springs under the seat pan, and that seat to footpegs geometry? I would want quicker steering than that beast has–just to have some chance of avoiding even the smallest bump in the road. My spine is no longer up to it.
What is up with the tires?
In what sense – p'shop suspicions?
Such a refreshingly straightforward custom. Very nice.
But seriously,no rear suspension? The bike as art, something to look at but not to use.
Like so many Harleys, a wanker bike.
