Just today, I walked around town with the many thousands of motorcycles parked on all streets attending the annual "Thunder In The Valley" event held here. I was surprised of only ONE bike that had anything hand engraved, which looked like only a couple hours work, at the most, and it consisted of a strip of aluminum or stainless, done nice, of stippling and a rose with a name in script at the bottom. Talking with a couple of the bikers, they tell me that the "fad' ended some 10 to 15 years ago, and the cost was way too high. Because of the outrageous vendor fee, in FOUR FIGURES, I'm thinking of some samples for next year worn around my neck, and a bunch of business cards to be doled out. Have any of you noticed this sort of thing, or lack of, out there, and has such "art' just disappeared? I'll know more next year, but what do you think?
