factory or custom
« on: December 20, 2009, 08:44 PM »
probably been discussed before but i've only been on here since october.
 so what is your preferance and why, i prefer a custom build up because thats the way i've always done it (coudn't afford a complete bike when i started in the early eighties) so built my own and upgraded from there, goose, ace, ripper etc etc

never purchased a full bike from new BITD..

to much choice to go down that road when it came to aftermarket bits etc.

building is and was part of the fun..  :daumenhoch:

Love custom builds  :smitten:

Glen's (the gay pensioners) Curtis the other week ticked all the box's for me as a 'custom build' .  :4_17_5:

Having said that it is great to see a factory spec or rider replica build .  The time , effort , research not to mention money that some of the lads on here go to is ubelievable and a credit to them .  :daumenhoch:
