I owned several Harleys because I liked too ride. I rode for about thirty years and showing off wasn't my bag. Rarely did I ride through what ever town I was living near at the time. I liked back roads, tours of at least a couple thousand miles minimal and to be alone. If I rode that bike fifty miles, which I would not, I'd have to stop. Never liked the fish tail either.
No worries. They'll be bent and mangled at the first bump in the road given the ape-hangers on the other end of the bike. Darwin will deal with this one.
The rise of those "ape hangers" is foolish and very unsafe. You can't fully control the bike and you are an accident waiting to happen. There is enough risk in riding without trying to twit fate.
Many states have outlawed them. When I started riding, Tennessee had a limit of an 8" rise.
As a former Harley owner and rider all I can say is it looks stupid and after he crashes there might be some parts left to sell. Stay safe knucklehead.
Unsure what the attraction of having the arms at full extension is...maybe if he was covered in orange fur...still, I suppose there are some girl primates who like that sort of "cool" look. I'll stick to shorty/racing bars, since I kinda like getting out of the way of the occasional dumbass.
my old Superglide had the Buckhorn bars on it and after I messed up my shoulder I couldnt ride too far and I would be hurting. I was looking at a couple other bikes and figured out that a set of low rider bars and pull back risers made a world of difference. Those sky high ape hangers make me sore looking at them .it has to handle like a pig
That guy used to live around me. I've seen him on the road, but not for well over a decade. I've no idea if that bike still exists in that shape. But I can say yes, he DID ride around like that.
fishtails, apehangers, handlebar streamers - an around town scooter, no way that works out on the open road... fucking stupid waste of time, energy, and what might have been a nice Harley Original Grandpa

i can feel my arms going numb just looking at the picture.
ReplyDeleteYou've got to admin, though, that they go with those ape-hanger handle bars and the 'chin, what chin?' pot on his head.
ReplyDeleteOne of the few bikes where the rider has to be aware of the height limit signs on overpasses.

Looks painful....
ReplyDeleteThat guy should get his ass kicked for mutilating such a nice bike…

ReplyDeleteThe very definition of ape hanger.

ReplyDeleteJust 'cause you can do somethin', that don't necessarily mean you should...
ReplyDeleteThe motorcycle equivalent of the carolina squat.
ReplyDeleteOh look! An ape on a really stupid looking Harley.

ReplyDeleteNot the kind of IQ I'd be advertising.
ReplyDeleteWhen will bikes have auto pilot software? And fucking battery of course? I say let these guys do this crap so the Liberals leave other riders alone.
ReplyDeleteIt's good when idiots self-identify.

Gotta air out those armpits somehow.
