I didn't really see where you shared your taste in motorcycle styling other than a list of complaints and it shouldn't look like a rolling cartoon. Since there are soooooo many ways to customize a bike that meet your approval, why don't you share a dozen or so of them with us here so we all can look cool.

Why do you care if I think your bike looks cool. Do you seriously think every bike you see on the road looks good? I was just throwing some things out there that I personally do not like and looking for some spirited discussion. Can't a brotha get a break up in here??

Northwest. About a half hour West of Toledo. Basically in the middle of nowhere. Ride some motocross at the track in Delta if you know where that is.

Was a sportbike rider ( no, not the squid kind of rider) for a long time. My last road bike was a 2001 Triumph Speed Triple. Looking to get a cruiser in the spring, and if I'm getting a cruiser, it's gonna be a Harley or possibly a Thunderbird. Have not ridden the T- bird, but it just looks a little funky to me. Looking hard at a Super Glide or Fat Bob. But who knows what might strike me when the time comes.
