Idiots that hitt trees can have fancy paint jobs with stock motors!

lets see, 90% of the ones I see that killed them selves in the single auto (bike) accident were over the speed limit and driving stupid and or intoxicated... now the others were the ones that hit a critter or deer or something in roadway at normal speeds....
but stupid comments like that"idiots" you call them.. never no mind not worth getting banned....

Go with what you really want. If you have a killer paint job in mind that you're dying to be seen in go for it. If you don't have a paint design go with performance.
Personally I go with performance first because it's easy to decide what parts to go withand you can control that big smile on your face and the rush with a flick of the wrist.

Performance first, shining last.
For those that state baggers are not meant for performance enhancements, look at the pickup truck market today, one of the hottest segments of the vehicle high performance market. Old saying. "You can't make a race horse out of a hog but you can have the fastest hog in the county."
Likeirresponsible drinking,etc, just because you have a high spirited bike does not mean that you speed more or are more dangerous then a stocker rider.Ivery much recognise the risks I'm taking when I ride, thusI take less risks with our 150 HP Ultra then most people we ride with who have much less HP. I think I'm much safer then someone constantly admiring theirgas tank paint whileriding.

RE: Paint Or Performance??
personally...i would[and did] go for the performance end 1st, looks are cool ,but i kinda see paint like clothing...meaning: ya go out and spend a bunch of $$ on a nice shirt, and you look good in it....but would you wanna wear that shirt every day? probably not....and thats what i see w/ all these expensive paintjobs w/ 20,000 flaming skulls,w/ iron crosses etched into their foreheads..[hell i like skulls and flames and iron crosses!]but,to me looks like a bad hawaiian shirt that youre now forced to wear every day!....basically which ever route you take.. go slow and easy as its very easy to go overboard either way!
good luck on your choice!
kinda wish i had the $$$ to have your problem
