Riders vs Customizers,,,, Who's who?

Rider here.
Almost all customizations I do is for riding comfort, and performance enhancements. There are a few little pieces that are just decorative, but not much. Between the 2 bikes, I ride over 20,000 miles a year.
Only times my bike has been on a trailer was when it was broke down....Trailers are for BOATS!!!

So many labels....labels = status?
I do both. Mods not only that I like to look at, but that I can use to be more comfortable.
Everything from bars to stereos to seats, I've made my mark on it all. In the end, it's my *** in the saddle, and I can tell you one thing, I'll ride either one all day long, day after day.

I've added items for comfort, organizers and storage. A couple cosmetics.
I haven't done anything to improve performance (stock exhaust and A/C).
I don't travel much (2-5 weekends a year) but commute 40 miles to work and often 80-100 miles home.
I won't own one but do appreciate show bikes (craftsmanship first, style second and ride-ability a distant 3rd).

Seems we have the hardcore guys that don't trailer, they put on lots of miles every year crisscrossing the country. These guys customize to make for good traveling, HP for passing trucks, tunes for more enjoyable back road rocking,,,
Then we have the guys turning touring bikes into conversation pieces, adding apes, big a$$ wheels and stuff that makes them really bad for actual traveling.
Which one are you?
