I didn't ask to be impressed. Just making a point that a big wheel and a set of bags isn't a build.

Everyone wants to be jesse james nowadays...LOL

yeah. I guess the silly stuff they put out actually qualifies as a "build" since they started with a frame and went from there.

I'm a builder so I do understand what you are saying but in the same light you have to understand just like the use of the term " Biker " build has taken on new meaning to today's brand of rider, neither are what they used to be. There's still guys doing it but we're getting rarer.

"Built" not bought, also, not just stock. Call it what you want or don't want. Its about making it different from everyone else.
