Topic: cafe bikes are getting popular and the "hipster"word is getting thrown around

[mrbreeze]

Fads do come and go.  Look at "Choppers."  Jesse James was doing some cool stuff and getting publicity and pretty soon everybody was a "Master Builder."  Then those clowns from Orange County came along and really drove the nail in the coffin on that one.  Now the only people building choppers anymore are those of us who liked them before they were "cool."  The term "chopper" got so bastardized from it's original meaning "to chop #$%* off" and now people think any bike with rake and stretch is a chopper.  Hell, I even saw a Caterpillar theme "Chopper" that weighed in at a hefty 800 pounds.  Tell me what got chopped off of that thing?

Cafe's may be the new fad, but if you truly love them, you and your bike will still be around when the posers are gone.  To thine own self be true.

U got that right bro!!!!
