I noticed that a lot of people don't seem to like them. Not sure why.

I guess it's all the fame, and how they can have anything they want. They make some sweet bikes, just like Kendal Johnson, Billy Lane, Arlen Ness, Indain Larry and so on. I would love to ride to NY this comming spring and see them.

in a sense---------a real bike should be able to be ridden daily. it should handle well and ride well enoughg to ride for several miles at a time.
there are works of art, there are functional bikes, and there are functional bikes that are works of art. the last one is where they miss the boat. JMHO

I can certainly see where a number of their theme bikes fail the daily rider test. And that's a big test for me, as well. But, there's a large number of builders putting together "show" bikes that not only fail the daily rider test, they fail the ride at all test. They still function as works of art, still have something to do with the motorcycling community, and often times contribute something to design and development of more practical bikes.

I think a lot of vitriol gets aimed at the TV personalities because of their success, and the fact that the success stems more from their TV exposure than from their success as builders. Understandable, to an extent. I don't begrudge them their success, though, and they don't tout those bikes as daily riders. Furthermore, I believe that the more mainstream motorcycling becomes, the more popular the idea, the more desire in the general populace to participate in some fashion, the better off we are. It's less likely we'll be taken advantage of politically or legally by the majority if a significant fraction of that majority enjoys and identifys with some aspect of motorcycling. I don't adhere to the notion that there's 2 bikers and 8 posers for every 10 motorcycles. That way lies obsolescence.

By the way, my favorite OCC is probably the POW/MIA bike.

JKDJose, did the kids get a kick out of the trip? Seems like that would be a lot of fun to take kids to see.

Enjoy the ride.
