Seriously, dual headlights gotta go. As far as ape-hangers, some swear by them, others say they are uncomfortable. I've never ridden with them so I don't know. But they look cool. :wink:

I think ape hangers are useless. The best thing about those hangers...is try and watch them do a u-turn? Not very pretty!

if one had apes tall enough, could you ride standing up? stradling the bike with feet on boards? be an interesting sight...

I bet highway windblast would get very tiring after a while!
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

A rider using ape-hangers always has the freshest arm pits around. :lol:

Ironic considering the type to ride with ape hangers likely doesn't believe in deodorant. :laughing:

I Fly... who are you to make a judgement like that? You are so totally off base you should be in orbit! You may think redneck, but I know some 81s that would disagree with you violently. And some people DO think they look good. This world isn't all about you!

Kinda like considering the type that ride sportbikes to be homosexual because the riding position makes it seem like the love taking in in the rear. :roll:

Lets get real here Some people prefer to ride with ape hangers. Some don't like them. So what. Why do you care? You shouldn't. Just be glad they are bikers like the rest of us. Why make issues out of peoples personal choices that have no bearing on your life one way or another.
