I'm irritated if safety is compromised by a "style" like lifted trucks or a single disc conversiion to show more wheel.
Oh be careful everybody the self appointed safety monitor is in the room, LOL.

I'm not the one judging so no high horse here. I may not date the fat girl but I would never say anything bad to her because that girl just might be someone like you daughter and she might do something stupid because of something I said. You can do whatever you want dude. I don't have to agree with it. I was raised to respect people and all their differences and I understand that everyone don't feel the same way.

The best way I can answer this is by saying what I wouldn't do to my bike rather than what bugs me about others rides.....

With that said I wouldn't put a big tire on front and I sure as heck wouldn't put fish tails hanging out the back 10 feet lol.

I wouldn't put a buffalo head on either but the long *** fish tails have me rolling on the floor laughing sorry but I was asked for my opinion remember.

None of the custom trends, as far as mods are concerned, irritate me. There's a few that I wouldn't consider for my bikes, though.
I'd never "black out' one of my bikes.
Same goes for wrapping my pipes. I've seen it on other folks' bikes and it looked just fine with the rest of their mods. Not on mine, though.
The big front wheel...attention getters, for sure. I lick my eyebrows to get attention, it's cheaper and moderately productive.
Drag bars that are lower than the top of the gas tank. I see this on some Sporties, but it doesn't look right to me. Never rode one that was set up like that, though, so who knows...maybe I'd like it.

Here's to individuality

Nothing. Your bike, do whatever you like.

I don't really care that much. Fringed leather I never really understood, and this comes from a guy who appreciates nice solo and saddle bags and such.

But to each their own. Not like I have to ride their bike and they have to ride mine. haha.

Regarding people, there is a difference in ideals vs. a pathology or crime.

Regarding bikes, nothing wrong with having an opinion, which is judging. On a scale of 1 to 10 you judge every bike a 10?
