I suppose some rich CEO will buy a bike. After all, some of those CEO's make $9 million a year.

Yeah, and they make even MORE money if the company fires them before their contract is up!

Could anyone actually ride more than a few feet with their knees up to their ears like that? I hate unrideable motorcycles. What's the point?

It's a hardtail to boot.

I guess it looks cool for short cruises around town or to show off in your driveway, but not good for much else.

BTW, nice sig. I always knew Eddie was a biker.

ive seen stuff on those bikes... dont care to much for them. But the story is good. Good for that kid to go out and do that. I wish him the best of luck. It would be cool to see one in person... but those are the new-wave type of chopper.... I personally would reathher see a 135 cubic in. V Twin on them with a turbo.. but thats just me.

Yeah. I got it about 3 months ago. It was completely stock when I got it. I've been customizing it a little bit. I didn't catch it at first, but are you tryin' to say my bike is unrideable? I gotta be stretched out. I can do (and have done) 500 miles a day on my bike easily. Ape hangers beat riding on your wrists ANY day. And give me a set of forwards over some mids that put you in a fetal postion while you're at it.

I'm taking the bait to assume that you are saying sport bikes are "unrideable"?
Then don't take this the wrong way but:

I never understood how apehangers could possibly be rideable. To each their own, but I'd bet I'm not the only guy who sees more than just a little irony in that statement....
And I have ridden 400 miles before stopping for lunch
