I fail to see how ape-hangers could be comfortable...

Because they look cool! And if one bulb burns out the other will see you home. (I knew I'd think of a pratical reason!)

No I mean I think headlights like this:

look awful and mentally challenged. I cannot understand why anyone would put those on their bike.

Besides, one is for high bear and the other is for low. So when you're riding around with just the low beams on the bike looks stick-eyed.

I remember seeing one person who had been wearing green sport leathers in the bar all night, at closing time go get his green crotch rocket bike, drive infront of the bar, do a little burn of the rear tire... wobble and fall over.....

Best...... Stunt.....EVER! *L

Dumb "O Ring" FTW!

On the last toy run I went to some guy tried to do the same thing on his Harley, the drive belt snapped! Haha.

I was at a light in my friend's huge ford econoline van, and this guy in a corvette c6 pulled up next to us. So my friend revved his engine, just to mess with the guy, so the light turned green, and my buddy floored it (and the van actually had decent acceleration, for a van) and the guy in the c6 floors, and stalls when switching into 2nd. I laughed my "O Ring" off.

So it's not comfortable and it doesn't aid control?

And if you ask me it DEFINITELY doesn't look good... looks like dumb redneck stuff.

I guess what made it so funny, was that he kept revving that thing so loud, over and over and it sounded like it wanted to stall..and then it did.

Are you sure you aren't laughing at someone who was struggling with a mechanical problem?

A couple of weeks ago I had a hose (part of the fuel injection) break on my car. The thing stopped idling... at speed it was fine, but if I took my foot off the gas it would just die. That by itself is no problem... I ordered a replacement hose and I can heel/toe the brake and throttle with my right foot well enough that nobody could know that I was keeping the engine running... except one day I had to wear boots. With those #$@#$ above-ankle boots I could barely modulate the throttle... so every time I came up to a stop light I was revving the engine up to 2000, letting it drop, then revving it back up, and so on... I'm sure some people thought I was trying to show off, but the truth is I was just dealing with a mechanical problem.

People are very quick to assume.

How do you stall it like that? I thought that as long as it was moving at an ok speed, you could pretty much shift from 1st to 5th and it would only cause lagging
