I still like my chrome, the black bikes do nothing for me. I have seen some blacked out bikes that were damn nice looking just not my thing, to each his own

I'm in for chrome and some color on a bike. The blacked out look doesn't do it for me - plus wouldn't they get really hot sitting out in the sun? My seat gets hot enough.

I like a good balance between the two. But there are some nicely done bikes, so to each their own.

Chromed out or blacked out. Both look good imo.

The blacked out look has run its course...

With black, you're stuck with one color (which technically is the absence of color). Boring. Chrome will reflect any color.

Never been a huge fan of all blacked out bikes, although there are plenty that look good. Here is my Street Bob. A few things have changed since this pic. Mainly added V&H short shots and relocated turn signals, license plate and brake light.

Chrome will always be in. Other colors come and go, just like black.

(We now join the festivities of the evening of the Chrome Lovers, hate all those that do something other than worship Chrome) Annual Convention, lets listen in to the Grand Poobah has he welcomes all members)

"Chrome lovers/Black haters unite, we will all have chrome and be individualists together!

We will set aside are insecurities and our emotions of feeling threatened by those that have put black on their bikes in lieu of chrome for the evening to celebrate chrome with our beloved Chrome God, the Honorable John Chrome Travolta

"Do a little dance, make a little love, hate black tonight, love chrome tonight"
