I know I shouldn't be trippin or anything but its crazy when you put a little creative thought into something and someone copies it with no mention of where they got the idea from. Maybe he didn't get it from me.. but its crazy. Made me say wow

Yeah, don't that shit just piss ya off?

Its not that big of a deal, when they copy the idea. Immatation is a form of flattery I've heard, but fuck that.

Just recently, a Jetter put a Time Attack stripe on his EAPs...I kind of got the same reaction you have...

It would be one thing if he was a good friend and was giving you the needle but from a stranger it is a bit bush league. We all want to have a one off, something uniquely ours, but I must say if there is something out there that someone else has done and it really speaks to me I would copy it, with the "BUT", I would definitely give props to the originator if I knew who that was.

and just yesterday, some douche put that same stripe on some 15" split 5 spokes. What's this world coming too? Although, to be fair, the guy who did it yesterday had the idea for a long time after seeing motorcycle wheels that way...
