As KWYJIBO wrote, some do not like these styles of bikes. I must admit that some, specifically the "Orange County Choppers" radically almost unrideable type are not my cup of tea either. I also agree that one would likely get unwanted attention if to ride this in public. We also must understand that a large part of these bikes do not get ridden much. Except for perhaps in a television skit, they sit somewhere either in a shed or on display. They are mostly excercises in art and/or engineering and are mostly just for us to look at and say......something opinion oriented, which we have! :)
