The backwards fender trend

[49autocycledeluxe]

a buddy of mine likes to slide the rear fender back until it almost hits the ground. not sure what the thinking is on that either.

Wow, I also thought the backwards fender was by accident, didn't know it was a "trend". Man, I'm out of the loop on whats hip now days.

Have you tried the new Tide Pod Challenge?

Stuff like this reminds me of the movie Idiocracy

Passing the time, while looking on ebay as well as Craigslist for project bike , I noticed across about 6 bikes that had the front fender mounted backwards. Did I miss the memo, or something?

I wonder if this is WALMART'S fault?

I googled "backwards front fender" and in 2014 Yahama sent from the factory motorcycles with the front fender on backwards. I guess they were Wal-Mart ready out of the box.

I was wondering how far back this trend went - I remembered buying the bike below and went to look when it was bought - 2/11/2015. The fender(s) are no longer a part of the bike.... I guess I was bucking the trend and didn't know there was one!

I'm not sure the ride was affected, but I like it better without the "Reverse Front Fender"

Oh, great, the "Scraper Bikes" video I haven't seen in years... Now I won't be able to get that out of my head all day. Wish I had never looked that up.

I vote that the Scott/Dave add a Scraper Bike section to The Cabe

I have a just a few backwards fenders left and I'm going to hang on to them.
