what is happening to motorcycle culture???

[thrstrmech]

the motorcycle culture...it's like Baskin Robbins 31 flavors mixed in with Ben & Jerry's, Cold Stone, Haagen Dazs, Blue Bell, and other brands.

bottom lines are: taste, texture, color and what your wallet can handle, both which involve purchase price and maintenance and not to forget the project bikes as well.

I reckon as long as it has 2 wheels (or 3) then we are all brothers!

I don't think its the evolution of the bikes that people are on, but the evolution of the people that are on bikes. I have changes....evolved....somewhat over the years

and this last one shows alittle inspiration evolution of the buellers themselves

I used to be 100% Harley. For many years it was Harley or nothing. Once I tried a Buell I bought it and only regretted not trying one sooner. Although I'm not happy with H-D motor company I still like their bikes (most of 'em anyway). The big front wheel baggers with the bags 1" off the ground, I think they look cool but I wouldn't want one. We saw tons of 'em at Daytona Bike Week last year. Here in the North Carolina mountains I haven't seen any.

The motorcycle culture went down the crapper in the early 2000's when movies like "Biker Boyz" and "Torque" came out.

Well said. I have a lot more respect for the guys who do it themselves than I do for those who buy their way in.
By the way, that's a cool Ironhead you've got there.
