To be sure, I won't call you a tool for the stickers. If I can still woop up on a stickered guy I will enjoy it a tad bit more.

Kind of like the guy with a mohawk. If he really has the mojo to support that mohawk then he can wear it with pride.

I used to roadrace and the rule was always simple:. No stickers unless there's sponsorship dollars attached. I personally don't care what someone else does with their bike, but racers tend to view people with stickered up bikes as posers.

How ever and whatever you do to your bike is your form of freedom of expression.

I have used the stickers that came with most of my aftermarket stuff, if it's on the bike it's on the bike. I had done so much like you would see them on a race bike but I have no illusions of it being racey. My only concern is it might make it more of a target for a thief as they can easily see the dollars signs. As far as what people think, well get your own and do it how you like.

Similar to crotch rockets, enduro's are race inspired bikes that have been adapted for road use. Since stickers naturally look good on race bikes, I think they look equally as good on the street versions, but I'm a colorful kinda guy, with nearly half my body real-estate covered in tattoos. I like color, others like it plain, so do what you like and enjoy it, and know that right next to you there's a kid in the back seat of a car with his mouth wide open.

I suspect your tattoos aren't unpaid for advertisements for retail products.

I love the question "Am I a tool for adding stickers" LOL
I think hodge podge stickers look bad. One here one there. I have one set of shrouds that I put on when I know the bike will be hitting the dirt. Rides and races. These shrouds are broken and held together with zip ties, so stickers can only help.

Stickers are ok, I have a few, and remember every sticker adds 1 horsepower.
