Is this fad about over?

 

Oh boy.... Here we go.... Just stirring the pot huh?

 

It's on its last season

 

It will be when those have about 40k in their 'club bikes' find out the market for used ones is about 10.

 

Fad? i know guys in their 60's that have rocked club style bikes from their first harley... Cali it has been around for prob 40+ years... that said i dig them, i like when people go out of the box and build something different, plus i like to ride hard and these bikes let you... granted to each their own... but i would def not call it a "fad" when this scene has been around just as long as the bob and chop scene... hell look up an FXR, or even newer than that T sports, HD saw the market and has been producing bikes angled at that market for years and years

 

Club Bikes are fading away for the cartoon/clown/slammed bagger/30" front wheel look.

 

Wasn't trying to stir any pot. Just think since the SOA sitcom has been on, these bikes are everywhere. As far as the "building something different", I had to chuckle at that comment, since they all look alike.

Ten years ago, custom choppers were "in", now it's custom baggers. You may say that club bikes", i.e. bikes with t-bars and quarter fairings, have been around for 40 years, but I've been around a lot longer than that, and I don't remember EVER seeing any of those t-bar/1/4 fairing bikes any where in the '60's/'70's.
Wait until SOA is a distant memory, and I predict club bikes will be a distant memory also. Not a good thing or a bad thing, just a fact. I started this thread for your opinions, not to bash anyone's preferences. You won't hurt my feelings if you disagree with me!

 

Hopefully, they'll ALWAYS BE choppers, Baggers, Club bikes, radical bikes, RAT BIKES< I love em all, hair fads come n go but BIKE STYLES , keep em commin.

 

Talk about fads what about black street glides.

 

LOL......yep, another "fad", IMHO.
