I learned long ago to keep my opinions to myself because of scenarios like the one above. It's not about fear. It's about being polite. I would feel really bad for hurting someone's feelings because i had to be a loud mouth. There's no need to criticize someone's bike like that. He likes it and that's all that matters.

I would tend to agree with you about the wheels on my bike....They're one of the things I'm getting rid of.

It's not a paint job, it's hydrodipped. Here is the pattern.

Not my thing, but I've seen worse.

I think it looks badass, took an artist and creativity to create that. To some your bike looks like crap and plain.

Not sure I'd call it the ugliest finish ever - maybe if to were pink it would be a lot closer to the top of that list....

Cool...they certainly have some uglier and less original ones in there he could have chosen from. Most (in their only offerings - Flames & Skulls > LOL - that would appeal to the Harley crowd) are already way overdone as paintjobs...
