Looks fine, but I would have used red duct tape to make it stand out more around the battery compartment.

thetophatflash is an unknown quantity at this point
Seems like all the critical safety gear is in place and operational.

8541Hawk will become famous soon enough
I see a battery about to be wedged between the tire and swingarm brace and all the bad things that go along with that happening...... the faster you are going when it happens, the uglier the outcome......

Probably just burnouts.

They are using gray duct tape, which is widely accepted here in the south as completely safe.

Even if the rider had proper ID, I don't think it would make it past the front gate of any US Military base. The duct tape and sloppy wiring make it look very suspect.

Looks fine unless someone tries to ride it. Just sitting in a yard with no flammable materials nearby it might be ok.

... Completely unroadworthy until someone hot glues some turn signals on somewhere. Preferably on the foot pegs.

It's the scene of an "accident" that hasn't happened yet. The swingarm brace deformation can be overlooked with everything else already going on, the rider's fate is sealed anyway.

I didn't want to believe what I was seeing. You confirmed that is a die, and a stealthy, cool black one at that.. All is GTG.
