Ok story time.
I was once at a bike gathering and there was a show. Bike events usually have classes like bagger, bobber, trike, custom, full custom, ect.
The full custom was small so I tryed that class.
4 in the class.
A stock hardley with lot of chromey bits. I did not see how this fit in the class.
A store bought I think it was a big dawg as that is a southern store builder near here. I suppose to some this is a full custom even if it is assembled from off the shelf parts.
A bobber styled hardley on a stock frame but with quite a few self made parts. This one I would call "custom" but not "full". I would say this one was the only other one that truly should be even close to being in this class for a show.
Then me with my front engined vw in a motorcycle size frame.
Guess what.... I did not even place, self made parts bobber got third, chromey got second, And store bought got first.
On a different note......
At a rally the trike guys just walk on by.....indifferent.... and over to the store bought trikes.
The motorcycle guys are the ones all over it but they walk right on by the trikes and over to me.
