So my long daily commute and higher gas prices have FINALLY given me enough reason for my wife to let me back on a motorcycle (yes, she wears my balls for earrings sometimes). So I've been checking the trader mags and craigslist and reading lots of HORSE, Chopperhead and DICE back issues, but I can't seem to make a decision.
I'm looking for a daily rider, but something that I can also gradually make into something cool. I've seen some cool custom CB's and Yamachops and even though I know you can turn them into something unique, I just can't seem to get my head around the "geek factor" that I seem to have implanted in my head. I blame the likes of HOT BIKE and Easy Rider for skewing my POV in my formative years, but am I wrong? Part of the problem is that I've never seen a CB chopper/bobber/cafe racer in person and don't really know how they feel or sound. I'm relying strictly on photos and I guess the aesthetic of the American and Brit bikes is hard to overcome.
Long story short, I guess I'm looking for opinions. What's your take on Rice Customs?
