What’s the Custom Trend That Irritates You the Most?
I have to throw my hat in with the big wheel haters right now. That's only because the super-stretched front ends seem to have stopped.
I never understood how messing with the things that effect handling for cosmetic purposes became a trend. I guess there are only so many areas you can customize on a bike.
I appreciate machining of parts and emphasizing the mechanical aspects of a bike.
I imagine that black parts with the edges machined to be bright will be next. Parts guys seem to be contrast-cutting everything they can right now.
Someone mentioned chaps - as a fashion accessory, absolutely not. As a cold climate necessity, nothing beats them.

As they say, different strokes for different folks. I'm not "irritated" by the style anybody else's bike, but I do sometimes shake my head and wonder why.
I guess I'm more into a style that is comfortable, handles the twisties well and is reliable. I put a lot of miles on my bike and don't worry about it if it's got a lot of bugs splattered on the front. My bike is built for the ride, not to show off at the local bike night.

This is a great thread. I now have a shopping list for my next bike...
A bagger with ape hangers, long *** cholo's, get back whip, huge front wheel, loud *** stereo. And the most important point is a big bore kit so I can blow away the pussies that don't have those things. lol.

Judging is an essential part of human nature. If you don't want to judge the trends, don't comment.
I'm irritated if safety is compromised by a "style" like lifted trucks or a single disc conversiion to show more wheel.

So because it is human nature it is ok to judge people who do not conform to someone else's ideals. Wow that's news to me.

Did you date the ugliest fattest girl? Or did you date the prettiest girl that would say yes? You've been judgmental your whole life too so you might try stepping off that high horse.
