So many thoughts come to mind.
Needs, priorities, car was almost free, who knows?
AND it proves that not all rednecks drive pickups. Or is that a pickup now.?

I'm so confused...

Maybe it's the new version of the El Camino.

Went to school with twin brothers. The Lee boys. So much alike that they had the same ideas. I believe that they would appreciate the complete irreverence for a car and the sacrificing of it to carry a bike.
Frank and Earnest Lee, fine lads,,

Would such a chop job pass inspection in your state?

A what?  In KY nothing is inspected.......however you might cause an officer to initiate a "surprise inspection" if he doesn't like what he sees! :o

Believe it or not, that would pass in Texas, so long as the exhaust / brakes are not hacked up

Is that actually chopped or is it just a hatchback with sliding sunroof and the hatch removed? Either way, I like it and applaud the creativity.  :D

I never thought about that. Good eye. I'm with you though great creativity.

It is definitely hacked in the bumper area and where the back of the trunk used to be......and even a hatchback with a sunroof would have a piece of roof where the hinges mount between the rear hatch and the sunroof.  I believe there is silver duct tape covering the rough edges where the roof used to be.

I like that he's confident enough to be on the left lane.

This wouldn't be legal in any inspection state because he's missing the 3rd brake light - the one in the rear window.  I don't think he cares, though.  ::)

what rear window?

and I don't think trucks are required to have that.

Texas does not require the 3rd brake light, last I checked (and that wasn't long ago)

He could always rig the bike up to use its brake light also.

If the stock setup had a third light, I'd expect the state would not pass it.
Using the bikes light! Great answer..

You'd be wrong on that JOG, in the Tx driver's handbook, it tells you what equipment your cars must have to be legal
third brake light is not required
neither is a windsheild, though your wipers must work  ;D
I laughed my butt off over that, when I went to class to be certified as a State inspector
Farm plates allow you to delete you catalyst legally, too

That one I knew,, ohh, how it pains me to be part of a state that is so ridiculous.

You wouldn't do that to a car unless you planned on transporting the bike a lot. In which case, why not just ride the bike?

That's a Civic...you can find those things for $1000, running, off craigslist. That's what I did, it wouldn't be a total loss if the memories made moving it like that were good enough.  ;D

because you're a speed demon / squid, not a biker

Speed demon / squid; definition
Rides a bike because it's 'cool' or because it's stupid fast
likes going in a straight line (probably due to lack of skill) at insane speeds / on back wheel trailers or hauls bike tor riding venues / shows

Biker, definition
Rides because he loves to ride
Rides a motorcycle any time it's practical (and sometimes when it's not) Loves twisty roads more than speed
rides bike to riding venues / shows, rides bike home

I didn't even know what a "squid" was until I heard some of these motovloggers using the term. I've been riding Street bikes for 8 years now...since I was 15 years old...

I don't think I'm a squid  :-?

However...I do like going fast, and I would haul my bike if I was going on a long trip, because anytime I go on a long trip, the wife is bound to come, and while she enjoys riding, she doesn't like rides much longer than a 100 or so miles on the bike. I can't blame her, the passenger seat is tiny. I need to buy a butty buddy.

Savscad you rode with youzguys, and didn't splatter yourself across the road, so you actually know how to ride on roads that turn a lot, you;re not a squid
