To me, when I see bikes with black pipes and forks blacked out including bars...its no longer a black bike, but a 'blacked out'.

I know the term is based on one's interpatation. Therefore, what's yours?

Before anyone gets their panties in a knot, this is just a discussion and no offense to all the awesome bikes out there.

Cheers

 

..removing most, if not all, chrome and polished aluminum and replacing with black.
although I stuck with a chrome exhaust and AC on mine, just for the contrast, and to be different.
I don't think "blacked out" has to be all black...

 

A blackout is a phenomenon caused by the intake of an alcoholic beverage or other substance in which long term memory creation is impaired or there is a complete inability to recall the past.

 

Thats normal operating procedure nothing to worry about! ..... A Blackout happens when you tell the old woman she still owes you money from last week! ...

 

Woe up up from a balck out when I told my wife she needed to give me some cash to pay for my new wheels that were about ready to ship.

Jam's bike is something I would still consider blacked out even with the chrome pipes and AC. I'm not too happy black became so popular. I started doing this to my last bike almost 7 years ago. It wasnt so popular then. Just got tired of chrome. Now I'm "following a fad." Oh well I like what I like.

My bike is super blacked out to include the headlight. You'll need to change yours if you want to be cool.

 

When I first bought my bike I was polishing some chrome with a microfiber cloth and it scratched the s h I t out of the derby cover. That was pretty much my experience with all my chrome pieces. I started with my derby cover and slowly I replaced most of the chrome. Shazam!! Blackout…

 

It's when you don't pay your power bill bazinga

 

That's not blackout, that's the chrome delete package.

 

I wanted to post to tell you that im offended and my panties are trashed now.

 

when in doubt blak it out LMAO
