Alright already, leave the poor guy alone, and I mean ALONE because he is the only one on that side of the road.

Seriously, if putting your time, hard earned money, blood, sweat and tears in a bike to get it the way YOU want it, then someone calls your bike Ghetto, then maybe that's the new slang term for BAD ***. Jmho

Yea, cause I see all sorts of Harley's in the ghetto looking "ghettofied"...

Now, if you were talking trailer parks, we might be talking about something.

It's a kind of evolution... you buy it stock because you like it the way it is. After a couple of months, or years you want your bike to evolve with you; with your tastes, your look and what you want to express.
Never seen anybody who kept his bike stock after a couple of year.

Damn I need some stock take off's and get rid of this 107. And here I thought all the extra torque improved the performance. Really shows what I know. Oh well I like my ghetto bike.

kidding aside, I think shoddy work, cheap parts, puerto rican paint jobs etc look ghetto. Spending time, money, and doing it right make your bike look unique and badass.
I have a good friend that's a Puerto Rican...and his paint work is pretty damn good...

"RIGHT" is highly subjective. What's nice to me may not be nice for you...

What happened to, "Think about it...if H-D wanted that stuff on the bike, they would have made it that way."? You waste everyone's time.
