How about straight pipes from a V-8 ... World Peace?

Brass knuckles on seat side is a nice old school touch ...

Bikes like this are not good at all for ALL of us bike riders. I was turned away once at a campground because they have a "no motorcycle" rule. Owner said the bikes are loud and disrupt campers. I was on a STOCK GoldWing!! I also had the police come and order me to leave a local A&W restaurant because they also had a "no motorcycle" rule. Again, I was on a STOCK GoldWing.

I've never gone back to either place.

The vehicle is an example of when someone figures that they have more money than time left. More Corvettes go thru the square here then the assembly line at Bowling Green KY.
 
At what point does it cease being a motorcycle and become something else? Because this looks like something else to me.

When it doesn't require a motorcycle endorsement of any sort to pilot. A Slingshot for example. MA is the last state that requires a motorcycle endorsement for it. All other states you can go hop in a Slingshot with a regular driver's license.

Its sad but I completely understand. One motel I stayed at knew me and let me stay but they had big issues with a motorcycle gang and no police in the "town". We as a society let garbage ride bikes with no mufflers and destroy the sport. I wonder what they would do in Japan or Germany if someone showed up driving that POS that Frosty shot?

A fast food joint turned you away? You pull in laying a fatty burnout? All that is bonkers to me, and I tour heavily (I'm 500 miles from home right now). I've usually found the public to be overly nosy if anything, "where you going?" "Where you coming from" "is that a Harley?" "Aren't you hot?" "Aren't you cold?" "Doesn't that helmet make you sweat?" Etc.

I've never had a business say "I don't want your money"

Dont go to Japan. You will see many "Japanese only" signs...and a few Japanese language only signs.
22.6 percent say they dont want us, and Koreans, Chinese, etc.
Why does that 22.6% say they don’t want more inbound tourists? Of 231 respondents, 60.2% cited the difficulty of overcoming the language barrier. And 29.9% percent said they think foreigners are ill-mannered. Other reasons cited include:

Making menus (in multiple languages) is difficult: 29%

Foreigners “don’t fit the store’s atmosphere”: 15.6%

They’ll drive away Japanese customers: 10.8%

Foreigners tend to cancel their reservations: 10.4%

Sure, probably there's xenophobia and racism all over the world, but I have family who visited Japan and loved it. The difference being they didn't exude the loud-ass cowboy stereotype. The whole YouTube influencer waving cell phones in people's faces is obnoxious enough stateside. I see a few at bike meets narrating for their phone like they are a correspondent for a major network. I can only imagine what goofballs are doing overseas.
