wheres the future of bike building going? whats the hot new thing?
« on: May 01, 2012, 08:50:43 AM »
so the chopper frenzy hit(again) about 10 years ago and cafe racers have made a come back but both these trends seem to be fading.... do you think the sohc rage is on the decline as well? i seem to notice that around the forum the young kids are just getting the bike running and doing some customization because unrestored the bikes are cheap and reliable and the older group of guys want the restorations(and dont mind paying for it)  but outside of a few builds there isnt much really interesting here...(ground up fabrication)where do you think the trend is going? whats just around the corner?

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

There will be "nothing" new. It will just be a variation of something old.
