the choppers are they are so played and everone is trying to build them they are starting to look the same
metrics are deffinatly taking off, but dude, open your eyes a bit, american bikes are FAR from dying, as much as i hate to say it, lol. you can't be so one sided if you want the powers that be to take you seriously.
hasn't changed, i never said the metrics weren't blowing up, i'm just saying that the SAE's aren't dying.
and for the record, my shop isn't one way or the other, we do work on ALL kinds of bikes. I do ALL the metric work, and me and my boss tackle all the american stuff as a team.

Re: Ohhhhh, Steeeve-ooooh
seriously. look around a bit before you go saying "they all look the same". you can't judge a whole style of bike based solely on what you see on tv, and what guys with too much money and no imagination are buying. i know EXACTLY what kind of bikes you're talking about. "cookie cutter customs". yeah, alot of them look alot alike, no imagination, just build quick by some hamfisted (there ya go Octane, we're bringin it back!) "assembler" who's trying to make a quick buck. BUT, there's SOOOOO much more out there than what you see on tv and in "boutique shops".
long forks and lots of chrome doth not a chopper make.
there's a big difference between the bikes being put out by "assemblers" who just buy a crapload of parts, sling it all together, and slap a fancy paint job on it, and the "builders" who put out the real customs, one-offs, and do things thier own way.
yeah, the "discovery channel world" of choppers is dying. good. when they go out of buisness, i'll be there with a truck to buy all their stuff dirt cheap and make something REAL special out of it
a good majority of them weren't building anything worth writing home about anyway, they're just in it for the money, not for the love of it.

Re: Ohhhhh, Steeeve-ooooh
I'm not gonna lie my cb build/project will most likely be cookie cutter looking. Not because I want it that way, but because I dont have a lot of skills needed. (ie welding and making things fit/work). Yes, I have a husband that has a shop but this will be all me!
