Pics from black bike week

[Revlis]

All I see is a bunch of hideous, tasteless, and tortured machines... Didn't see but one or two bikes that I would actually take out in public.

What's the deal? Has taste become such a scarce commodity?

I'm all for to each their own, but WTF? There is a point where it cannot possibly be some individuals ideas, not when it's all corporate sellout and committee design... Horrible things, less expressive design, and more "who can I impress with my total lack of class and taste?"

I see a couple that look like they are actually something built with heart, with some love,

otherwise... yeah not so much...

+1

I did like the POW bike and the black 08 that was pretty much stock.  All the rest looked the same to me.  Streched out blah blah blah.


Thanks for sharing the pix Darth.  Always interesting to see bike week pix

Oh and the first pic is pretty sweet

You beat me to it Revils. I sometimes wonder if these people have any idea what the bike is gonna look like. All i see is a LOT of waisted money, un geared riders, and machines that have been put to the curb for display. They should be obligated to put one of those "for display purposes only" signs on.
Some of these guys/companies should be slapped in the mouth

"For Display Purposes Only!"

Good one, DropBusa!!!

There were several which had very nice work done on them, others pretty lousy and everything in between. I love looking at 'em all, though. I'd never put that much effort/$$$ into how a bike looks, though. I'd rather ride it and with some of those bikes . . . . Not really a good idea to ride 'em.

--Wag--

All those bikes and not a HELMET in sight!! These guys must have elephant skin and really HARD HEADS!

But... to each his own.. ride your own ride!

This fellow has a helmet that he bought from south of the border...

I agree that most of the bikes are terrible looking, but i LOVE the Shelby Busa....that things is original and looks great, but not overdone.
