I hear ya, Ryk! I still don't understand why anybody takes these all-around, do-everything reasonably well, and probably the best handling cruisers on the market, and then basically turns 'em into "Bar Hoppers" by lowering them.
Though, I suppose IF those folks live where there's no mountain roads and/or have another one or two or more other bikes in their garage that are for "ridin'", and not just to "look cool" on, then I suppose I can see the point....maybe! Okay, and maybe I can see the point of lowering these babies IF one is "short-of-inseam" and can't reach the ground flat-footed with both feet while stationary on 'em.
I mean, in this case, Nick takes a Triumph cruiser, and then basically turns it into a large Thruxton-esque Cafe Racer with lowered handlebars and rear-set pegs, and THEN lowers the bike so that more hard parts will scrape the ground whenever he might actually use it as said Cafe Racer!!!
(...I mean, don't get me wrong here, yeah, Nick's bike is "cool lookin'" alright, but why lower it, for chrissake???...oh yeah, 'cause it "looks cool" that way....riiiiiiiight!)
