I'm just gonna throw this out there. Who cares if someone calls their bike a custom. If you don't think it's custom, well honestly, who cares what you think. When I first saw Chopper Pauls bike or Skydive Jeff's or Brokenfixed I thought, "custom." But none of those bikes have a welded on rigid or a modified neck with a redneck springer which really if you think about is the only thing that would put them in that "custom" category that everyone gets so hung up on. Usually the guys who are screaming "that's not a custom bike, " are the ones with every piece of Triumph after market chrome bit bolted on their bike. Am I ranting here. Well maybe. I'm just a little ****** that my bike is down with a broken clutch cable. So while I'm at it let me tell you that in protest I sewed my "Rat Patch" on upside down. And when I get my new paint job the tank badges aren't going back on.
