for the record (IMO) scrapping your plastic and sticking on some dinky headlight doth not a fighter make.

'fighters are the modern day choppers ( by that I mean REAL choppers, not the $70k crap that you see abouts everywhere) It started because people were making due with what they had, doing what they wanted, despite the "norm", just trying to make the best of what they had to work with. In it's truest form, it's all about getting rid of all the crap that isn't needed to go, stop, or turn. Some people prefer form to function, others prefer function to form.

I, myself, think that form follows function. Yeah, the fighter scene is getting a bit "blingy" for my taste (to quote a motorcycle legend, "I like to see the "mechanicalness"). it's the new "hot shit" and people are (generally) looking at it from the wrong point of view.

but....to each thier own.

some people like fat tires, chrome, and candy paint...... some people like, well... not that, lol
