Strictly tongue in cheek. As has been pointed out by a previous poster if anyone gets irritated by what someone else does to their bike they need to get a life.

Yes, sorry when I quoted you it took out the poster you were quoting and changed the humor in both our quotes.

No problem. Yes, it is certainly winter here, sleeting like no tomorrow and 27 degrees. Now that is a weather trend that irritates me.

Back on topic..... I don't like big wheel bikes. Taking a perfectly good motorcycle and making it look funny and handle poorly doesn't make sense.

40* and pouring rain today. By the end of the week, it will be near freezing for the daytime high, and well below at night. That's enough to make anyone cranky.

I don't care much for the trend of bikers bashing and disrespecting each other the past few decades, just cause you can..... from a keyboard. That growing attitude, more than anything "motorcycle" related, is just ruining the two wheel world.

The trend that something you buy ready to go and bolt on your bike is "custom".
Used to be that custom involved at least an angle grinder and a welder.
