Limited Edition Chrisian Audigier Monster

[He Man]

I don't get why people who are into fashion and people who aren't have such an axe to grind w/ each other. 

Theres fashion and then theres lifestyle forced on by a perception of being cool. Theres a fine line there. There are people who buy things because the brand name is all over it so people will think they are cool.


there was a quote on one of the links stating, he made a new brand of wine, to introduce new wine drinkers. aka people who are dumb enough to follow his lifestyle.

THE COOL WINE??
ITS A LIFESTYLE?

GTFO. So what, i gave you a bottle of wine, and you HATED IT, now because christian audiger threw his name on it, you're going to like it?

POSER.

I agree, but wouldn't it extend to the idea that:

You have a monster and you love it, and others like it, now because Christian Audiger (or anyone else who turns your crank) threw his name on it, you're hating on the bike, the builder, and everything else that happens to be caught in the crossfire.

\ you're hating on the bike, the builder, and everything else that happens to be caught in the crossfire.

hating? this is just good natured ribbing..  i feel sorry for the bike and i consider CA a snake oil salesman. if there is a moron who pays 55K for a bike which is 12K without that ugly painting - so be it...

OK, so again this thread was never supposed or intended to turn negative. Please focus on the creativity of modding and custom work of our Monsters that we like to do so much.

It almost would, but i wouldnt worry much about it until people start going oh man, its a ducati! have you seen the limited edition CA Ducati? But it wouldnt matter so much because im selling the mosnter for a possible SBK, or street triple R.

Sorry for the double post but my post box was turning everything into a quote.

But, yeah I agree with you that is the saddest part about it, big corporations making money by exploiting peoples self consciousness.  I see people riding motorcycles for the same exact reason, then they go and sell the bike after a few months so they could say "yeah I used to ride" ... please.

I don't get why people who are into fashion and people who aren't have such an axe to grind w/ each other.  If your into fashion thats cool and if your not thats just as cool.  Heman here is a good analogy for you.  Von Dutch is like Coke and Ed Hardy is like Pepsi.  Anyways its just marketing. 

BTW this helmet would go perfect w/ the bike   http://www.kbchelmet.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=68&Itemid=95

You could tow your custom CA bike with this custom CA truck.

I hope that CA logo in the hood slides down to expose the auto-cannon
