The "trend" that irritate's me most is Little gas tanks, I just don't understand it, back in the 60's they ran peanut tanks on sportsters, and nowady's it's custom made 2.5 ounce tanks on bikes with 120 inch motors... It always just screams to me This bike isn't really ridden anywhere.

what really bothers me is people who take a motorcycle and take the rideabilty away from it. you have to be able to ride the thing to make it a motorcycle in my book. big wheels and frame rakes that make it unrideable are silly.

the thing that irritates me; the stuff I see that I would like to do to my trike that I cant afford . I don't care for big *** apes, fish tails, back off whips, tasseles, denim paint , dirty uncared for bikes,.... but, live like you want to live brothers.
There's plenty of customs I don't like, but they're still more interesting to look at than stock bikes.

Don't care particularly for the big front wheels, but that being said, you start out with a frame, engine, & 2 wheels, there is only so much you can do with that platform. Over the years I've seen bike fads or trends come & go, some I liked, some I did'nt like so much. The big front is in right now, which may have staying power or not. A lot of people like their bike to look distinctive & different which is totally understandable & some don't give a damn what it looks like, they just want to ride. Speaking of staying power, the bagger "trend" always has & always will be "in" IMO.
