customized or personalized
so i was having this discussion with this dude, he was saying how he was customizing his bike. all he was doing was adding chrome bits, maybe changing the seat and shocks. i said that he was not customizing, that he was 'personalizing'. in my mind theres a difference, customizing involves some kind of work, whereas personalizing involves taking something someone else made and bolting it on.....
so what say the gurus?

RE: customized or personalized
(First off, I'm no guru,lol)
I agree with your analogy....
customized to me means, paint, motor work, modifying a stock bike to be not stock
one off pieces, fabrication....etc etc

RE: customized or personalized
Customize - to modify or build according to individual or personal specifications or preference
Personalize - to make personal, as by applying a general statement to oneself
He personalized his bike by customizing it. How he customized his bike was his personal statment.

RE: customized or personalized
Then mine is customized.. I have had some painting done to it and it is all hand done. So that makes it a customized bike..
