Is it just me or do they suck?

Chopper bikes:
Take a 1930s technology engine, weld up a frame which looks like it would bend in half if it went over a bump, add some humongous long forks, no suspension, gay paint job with some stupid theme, set the handlebars so its impossibly uncomfortable to sit on, start it up and ride up and down the road at 10 mph and say 'woo yeah totally kicking - (devils horn hand sign) - awesome'

Custom cars:
Find an old wreck of a car, get a mexican who really doesn't look as if he has a clue what he's doing to weld repair sections all over it, take out old 1930s technology engine, put in slightly bigger 1930s technology engine, chrome some bits, apply gay paint job, interior and sound system, start it up and drive up and down the road at 10 mph and say 'woo yeah totally kicking - (devils horn hand sign) - awesome'

I just don't see the point, apart from to keep people who've taken too much LSD of the streets.

(Yes I have been watching too much tv lately.)

Yes I know, great way to commemorate a massacre - build a gay motorcycle.

I get what your saying.. Most of those choppers don't have rubber mounted engines :\

Supposedly on the weird handlebars they say you get real used to it in a few hundred miles.

@ the last sentence: how does driving around keep people off the streets now?

If they're in a workshop doing flame effect paint on fuel tanks or welding rust to rust they're off the street most of the time.

Thing is though, paint it one colour and put some regular looking aftermarket rims on it and it would look 100 times better. Not that I disagree with modding cars, but that is not a good example.

I'm pretty much against car modding (body kits, chrome rims and shitty paint jobs and etc)
I'm not gonna say WOW THAT IS AN AMAZING PEUGEOT!!! because you lowered it ,put a butt ugly body kit, some shitty paint and chromed wheels. Its a shitty car and its still slow eventhough you put a bigger exhaust.

I guess it depends about what you're talking about modding? Given the usage of OCC in the OP, that would suggest that Dogbert is against both high and low end modifications.

If I were going to restore a vintage vehicle for sale to a collector, I'd stick with exactly how it was originally built, sell it for an obscene pile of cash, then buy a damn house somewhere nice.

If I had a pile of cash to spend on a semi-vintage vehicle for myself, I would stick with the original classic external bodywork but ...  the engine, transmission, suspension, exhaust, and generally everything else under the skin would get the best of modern engineering.

Example:
Take a 1950's or 1960's Mercedes roadster, restore the external appearance to factory original, then stuff the internals with all of the advances Mercedes has made in the last 50-60 years.  1950 body, 2010 Mercedes engine, 2010 direct-injection fuel system, etc.  Still completely a Mercedes, but ...
(or 1959 Corvette, or 1935 Deusenburg, or 1986 Porsche 911 Flachschnauze, or 1986 Jeep CJ-7, or...)

I did that with a 64 El Camino.  Put the body on a 94 Caprice chassis.  4 wheel disc brakes, ABS, LT1 engine, 4speed auto.  fun car.
