I'm sorry, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the website was Def Leppard.  Those raised in the late '70's early 80's will get what I'm refferring to.

Remember when Rick Allen......? I know exactly what you mean. I caught them last year at the Dunkin Donuts Center in Rhode Island. They are pretty much washed up, but I stuck around for the drum solo. Hearing Rick do an 8 minute drum solo is an enlivening experience up there with riding a motorcycle through a tunnel at night. If you even remotely like percussion, the man is still a legend. Well worth the $20 I paid for a ticket.

that is a sweet machine, dont know if i like second seat though.  nice seat pan on the front seat.  looks like he did some frame mods on the goosneck, opening it up.  

nice color.

darn somebody's giving me a run for my money.  

My o my that is a beauty. Interesting treatment of the main seat pan, turn lights, tail/stop lamp, horn, and passenger seat. The lack of trim/decals and items under the seat and being all one color sure makes a difference.  Would be neat to have a Savage Show sometime and have folks see how much many variations can come from such a simple machine.  Maybe we could even find the brit style side car rig that used to be in the Seattle area.

I like the way the frame really shows up when painted like that.   Very Intruderish.

I'm with WD. Chrome is for people who like to have shiney, glittery bikes. I really hate polishing chrome, I'd rather just paint it all black and then forget about it. Speaking of liking rust, Check out this rust covered bike by WCC. I am not a huge fan of WCC by any means but to experiment with different texture and materials is a true art form. And I just LOVE the gators  

Well, that rust finish is pretty cool.  I can see the art form in that even if it does come from WCC.

Personally, I like chrome as a highlight kind of detail.  Something to set off a particular part like the pipe.  I spent a lot of time staring at a Honda Rune this morning, and there is a bike with too much chrome, in my opinion.  Everything is covered in huge sweeping sections, the mufflers are huge, and that chromed "monolever/springer" front end is almost hard to distinguish for all its shiny chrome.  And what about a headlight that is about a foot long?  Too much chrome.  Geez.

What I'm really not fond of (but what are you gonna do?) is aluminum casting with or without a clear coat.  It just never looks clean.  You clean your bike and have shiny paint, shiny chrome, gleeming black with a big hunk of dull aluminum in the middle.
