ok - not mine - but about a year ago - someone at my company decided that motorcycles would make good office decorations.
They started with this one - kinda cool, but just a stock bike:
Then next one was a bit cooler, and somewhat customized - I would like to have this bike:
I'm not sure where they got those two - but then one of the shop guys built a cafe racer out of an old Honda CB100 - it turned out pretty cool, would probably be fun to race in a 100cc class:
Then, the company put some money and shop time out to create this monster - very cool.
I couldn't for the life of me figure out why they would put those tires on it, but eventually convinced myself it is a post-apocolyptic 'Mad Max' bike - so it kinda makes sense now. This is truly a beast:

yeah - it has NOTHING to do with our business - well, I guess you could consider these displays.
We do Retail Fixtures, Corporate Exhibits, Museums, Events and Marketing.

Me too.
Is that last bike really a BMW? If it is a boxer engine, it looks weird, but I'm on my phone and I'm old
Dig the knuckleduster levers, though. Haha

my favorite of those is the Honda.
The BMW looks like shit IMO. I love a good streetfighter but jeez...don't spray bedliner on every damn piece.

another new addition to the bike collection at work:
1974 Ducati built as a sidecar racer.
Only original parts are the engine, transmission and hubs - everything else custom fabricated.

This is awesome. I like the Triumph Scrambler, seems like a great bike for zipping around town.
