My grand daughter says those are handles, to pick up the bike and roll it when it don't work, just like her toy wheelbarrow.

What bugs me the most is when I have an idea but can't produce. Then in time I see it everywhere so I'm glad I didn't do it.

Pretty much everything. Dickey don't like "trendy" crap. Here are my toppers:

Big Wheels
Fat rear tires
Stretched anything
Cholos
Bobbed rear fenders
Fairings
Denim finishes
Custom paint (If you destroy the stock paint to do it) otherwise OK.

I'm with you on that one.

Me, too.

First it was "clown cars".
Now we have "clown bikes"...

Nothing! It's their bike, they can do what they want with it! And they can wear what they want -- I am not the Harley bike or fashion police. SJ Ron

I see things I wouldn't do but I can't say it irritates me.

I wouldn't say irritate, but i don't understand bikes that can't be ridden. I was chatting with a couple dudes in the bar at sturgis one year and telling them about the needles highway. The one guy said if he took his chopper up there he'd have to do 3 point turns to get around the corners.

I don't understand the point of a motorbike thats sole purpose is to be a showpiece.
