[sarcasm]I hate those d@mn wannabes riding their custom bikes.[/sarcasm]
"They have to congeal together in some great wiggly pack like a herd of sperm covering the entire roadway."
Remind you of a thread from a long time ago, Moses?
I think custom bikes are here to stay. My only advice is don't buy a bike from Orange County Choppers. Those guys don't fabricate bikes. They buy parts from catalogs and assemble them. You could pay an Indonesian kid $2/day to do the same work.
