WTF???

Just read an article on a big brazilian tv show website...talking about CUSTOM BIKES and "BIKE BUILDERS/ DESIGNERS" in Brazil...anyway...it was a Twin Cam fatboy...the owner was SUPER PROUD that he had spent 15 THOUSAND DOLLARS to have his bike painted FLAT BLACK...SHOTGUN PIPES...APE HANGERS...nothing was even done with the stock tank, frame, wheels, brakes and fenders expect for being painted flat black and added one 100 usd tailight BUY IT HERE wild guess but I'd say it's chinese...and the cherry of the cake was a spring solo seat on a softail frame (I can never understand that!)...anyway...the guy was HAPPY and proud to share that it cost him FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!
I'm not a bike builder and I don't pretend to be one...but hey...you don't have to be fuckin' Einstein to figure out that an over-expensive "bike builder/designer/OCC fan" should charge you 1 THOUSAND maybe 2 THOUSAND (if you like being robbed) for that...It'll cover ALL THAT AWESOME CUSTOM WORK and he'll get his profit out of it too!

The thing is...the problem is not the so called "BIKE DESIGNERS" (which everyone seems to be one now...it's getting to a point like people becoming Club DJ's...everybody is a DJ...if you don't know how to do shit or play a fuckin' instrument become an Electro/House DJ!) the real problem is with the people that are willing to pay that kind of money...it's so fucked up! Go read stuff about your bike, check the internet...but don't get robbed and say you have a CUSTOM BOBBER (don't you just love BOBBERS?)...it's A freakin' flat black fatboy...that's all! (which is a cool bike...)
BUT you paid 15K for it...

The bike below is OK and TEN TIMES better and have a LOT more done to it than the one on the article (which I'm NOT going to post...obviously)...and on the right guy's hands it should cost you 2 grand maybe 3 'cause of those cool pipes! (I AM considering that everything in Brazil is more expensive because of the import taxes)



I'm not judging no one's taste...taste are like opinions and assholes...eveyone has your own. Just can't stand reading so much bullshit 'cause things like this fuck up the market, egos and etc...
