Sounds like you're spoiling for a fight


Truth is, very few people truly "build" bikes from scratch. At it's simplest definition you take a street or salvage ride and unbolt some stuff then bolt on a load of other stuff. That's the extent of my bike building. And that'll be the extent of most peoples idea of 'building' a bike. The further advanced in the sport the further advanced you get, till you're at the point of building chassis, designing and building electronics, engine work, custom exhausts yaddah, yaddah, yaddah.

I suppose, in most of our cases, the word "build" should be replaced with "convert". But then when has this place ever given a rats *** about grammar and correct word usage?
