on the custom bike thing, to each there own. i just wish everyone who rode actually knew how to ride. id rather see a good rider on a chrome/lowered/stretched/airbrushed bike than a squid on anything but a moped. my .02 cents worth

WTF is it with this trend of getting a nice bike and destroying all the functionality ? Here in Gulfport, MS. we have a ton of guys riding around on gsxrs and busas only to lower them as much as possible and have all the "bling" money can buy installed. I saw one the other day that actually had dudes face airbrushed on the side. Aside from the ugly nugget on the plastic he can go fast on a straight highway causing traffic to swerve but doesnt possess the simple skill of a right hand turn without dragging his "pimpin" Nike Airs on the ground. OH MY GOD !!! The gold plated levers, the helmets half on, the pants hangin so far down the crotch rubs on the chain, the neon, the gang signs, bouncing the rpm`s off the rev limiter because "it sounds cool", the rediculous swing arm extensions, When will it stop ? What happened to the retarded 44" rims, the bass, and the cadillac ? When`s the next overpaid rapper gonna start a new trend, like mopeds or another vehicle like the H2 ? I guess I wouldn`t be so irritated if they just learned how to ride without messin up traffic or didn`t use a bike for a rolling billboard for how "snoop thugish" they think they are.

on the custom bikes...
a guy from my area has a tricked out bike
he seriously tricked out his zx12r with speakers, screens, xm radio, and a PS2...
the catch is it is quite functional, he rides it often
and further more he is a very able rider and has opened up a very succesful street bike shop here in town.
he was actually featured in super streetbike magazine, heres a link to the online article...

so in my opinion i'd say its just the person on the bike that matters... if you trick out a bike, you ARE an able rider and dont ruin the functionability, then you're a-ok in my book
now the point of a ps2 on a bike... no clue...thats another story haha.

I say to each his own! If it's my bike I'm gonna dress it like I like it. I've seen people on stock bike dump them because they didn't know what they were doin, dressing the bike up has nothing to do with that. I've also witnessed plain stock bike driving in traffic like an idiot also has nothing to do with dressing up a bike. I ride for the love of riding I don't really drag knees or have any bling but I don't bash the one who do just because I don't! Just my thoughts.
