When I finally got my big fat titanium hard tail fat bike with a lot of silver black and red done I thought it was to pretty to ride.. My Harley riding neighbor straightened me out though. He said "Wow, that bike is totally bad ass but you will get more respect if its totally caked with in mud on the back of your pickup truck. Git yur ass out there and ride it!" Four years later its still sharp but I don't like what mud does to it and at my age, there is no one telling me to stay out of the mud so there is little incentive to go play in it.
