Somebody posted the Johamer bike recently and I was sure I'd seen something close to it before but couldn't remember where.
Anybody with a design background would straight away recognise the Bauhaus inspiration to the design but there was something else too.

I'm getting the impression that there must be major shortage of skilled motorcycle designers....on recent form it would seem that anyone who can draw badly seems to be able to get a job designing bikes, no matter how ludicrous or ugly their designs are! Or how delusional they are....

Out of maybe a hundred mad things something new will take hold and become main stream.
Everybody went nuts when the jelly mold Sierra came out, 4 years later everything looked like a Sierra
