WHY???
:dunno_white:

Why do people put sponsor stickers all over their bikes? Why do people do custom paint?

Same reason.

I don't get the confusion, An.  You saw it, right?  So how is that non-functional?  For a track bike, it makes perfect sense.

IMO, it's like putting chrome on the underside of your sportscar.  No one's gonna set it ever (unless you drive like a maniac and flip onto the roof).

Dude, it's a track bike. Track bikes lean and show their underbellies. That's why.

You have seen it and its registered, so much so you have made a post about it..........probably costs more to put a name there than anywhere else on the bike.......because it draws attention, as demonstrated by yourself.

What's wrong with the way I park my bike? Doesn't everyone park their bikes on their sides?  :flipoff: :laugh: :flipoff:

I don't know if I would consider applying a sticker to be a "mod", but regardless, it's for the track and you can see it. So it is what it is.

its a game of 'look how good a rider I am'...can you lean your bike over that far? LOL. thats what its about. The best one is a local has this on his underbelly (yes, it only makes sense from one side):
