I will never understand the seats and bars people put on custom bikes, I know it's about aesthetics but those two things are so important to making a bike rideable. It's not just the chopper dudes but all the vintage cafe assholes do the same thing spend hours on building some bike and then just slap a half inch of foam over a piece of metal and call it seat.

I still don't get the hate for Biltwell. They build modern, "retro" looking DOT helmets and offer both a 3/4 and a full face. They figured out an underserved market niche and exploited it. Wearing a "modern", swoopy looking full face helmet on a 40 year old chopper/bobber/rat bike makes you look like a loving pud, so the other options people go with are some garage sale 40 year old special, or better yet, no helmet. Compared to that, a decently built DOT certified full face for 150 bucks that looks period correct seems like a decent deal.

However arguing this point is pretty stupid since I don't think most of us are in the motorcycle-as-a-fashion-accessory crowd and as such this kind of poo poo doesn't compute.

This forum is so easy to tweak sometimes. I always forget that it's mostly a group of twentysomethings that want to pretend they're sixty wearing high viz and commuting on boring bikes. That said, yes, "period correct". You wouldn't build a 50's rat rod and then stick a set of 20 inch chrome neepers on it and put a giant double DIN face unit with brightly colored LEDs on it and a pep boyz double element wing, it would look stupid. Same goes for building up an old triumph or honda to look like it came straight out of 1967. Sticking on some ugly rear end HJC helmet with "replica" MotoGP graphics looks pretty ridiculous. Bell's been doing it with their "500" line for years, Biltwell just jumped in and made a replica Bell full face from 1974. People are more likely to wear gear that looks good. This isn't a bad thing.

Gweenz posted:They're riding a motorcycle, not reenacting Gettysburg. I own an open face Davida vintage style helmet. It's my spare / occasional vintage rideout lid. Apart from the look it's actually pretty neat to ride a vintage bike in period (or close-to) gear, because you get a feeling of how it was to ride the bike in it's hey-day. I've also ridden wartime bikes with *gasp* no helmet at all. I don't make a habit of it and day-to-day commuting I always wear a full-face. I'm the first person to warn others, especially new riders who intend to commute, of the dangers of an open face helmet and wearing improper gear. I also recognise that it's their own choice. I don't think there is a problem with these products being available so long as people are educated on the risks.

Since I actually regularly ride a vintage bike ('71 Yamaha R5) I think I'm qualified in saying anyone that wears 'vintage gear' is a loving idiot. This bike has such terrible brakes that I'm not going to shortchange myself on gear. I ride a vintage bike because it's actually fun to ride, not to recreate some time period that I wasn't even alive during.

This, the people who are riding vintage bikes for the civil war reenactment factor deserve all the criticism, laughs and lovely helmets directed at them.

Seriously though, with the Harley thing going on in MKE and me being the office "motorcycle guy" its super hard not to rant and rave about the thousands of helmetless riders out there. I have been a bit, always following up with "of course not all of them are like that"

I dunno if you've got your demographics messed up or if it's just a regional thing, but around here the kind of people who ride olde schoole cafe/bobber/rat bikes are almost universally late-middle aged 'cool urban dad keepin' it real' types.

On the planet he comes from there is either novelty helmets or all hi-viz aerostitch gear, functional good looking gear from the likes of Dainese and Alpinestar is unheard of. Not to mention comfort and functionality real helmets provide. Doing any sort of mileage or speed in one of these fashion accessories is next to impossible, they might be fine for wobbling down to your local coffee shop or art gallery to share stories of almost doing "ton up" on your sweet vintage CB but they're not gonna help if you catch a bug or pebble in the face at speed. thylacine posted:Some people like different things.
