If its not your cup of tea, how about clicking to another thread? Nobody cares if its not your cup of tea. We all here drink our tea with varying amounts of sugar. I bet some of them guys across the pond even put milk in their tea, which I dont get, but hey at least its not my cup of tea. Guess my work is done here.
Milk in first! Oh & must be out of china cup & saucer! LOL!

Ride looks the Dogs tq! Good parking, keep those babies backed in!

Amen,brother!

That's what a forum is all about. I am a member of some other non-bike forums, and everyone is so polite & PC it's sickening (except of course yours truly!) Do You guys post **** for nothing but approval, or do you want honest opinions? I prefer honesty. And my honest opinion is--I don't see the reason behind cholos except pure shock value, like 6 ft tall sissybars in the 60s, or 48" over girders in the 70s. Never liked THOSE, either! And when you do something for pure shock value, IMHO it compromises the aesthetics. If you like 'em--more power to ya. Lotta people out there don't like a 70s teenage hairstyle on a 58 year old man. Who cares?

Shock Value!
Yeah right, like I'm gonna drop 2k on an exhaust system and an air ride just to shock people, I dont think so!
I put my Cholo's and all the other gear on my ride cos I like the look, there are always going to be people who dont like it, so what, its my bike, my money. I couldnt care less what other people think.

That paint turned out really good, I wasnt sure if I liked black where a light color usualy goes but the more I see this bike the more I like it...great job. As for the cholos you are going to wish you waited when the 46'ers come out! Lol jk
