    In yon days of yore.Us biker types used to use those things all the time
    Totally useless at high speed though
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    I never took my training wheels off in the first place. Is that a bad thing?

    Is this for bikers with a bullbar fetish?

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Ugly, ugly, ugly! Man, did I mention how ugly these things are? At least crash bungs aren't so intrusive, these look like chainsaw guards or a rack off the back of a push bike - WHY would you want to make your bike look so ugly? I'd rather put the money into rider training so I didn't need them!

    And until they make them for tanks, don't waste your money...
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Yeh, there is nice dent in the tank!

    It's a stunters engine protector. Those guys are going to drop the bike, at some stage, prob in the near future. they want to be able to pick it ip again and do the next stunt. They can do this if they have a dent in the tank, or other bent bits, but if the engine case is cracked they not doin any more stuntin. Also makes the track slippy for the others.

    Would you still notice the bars when the the bike passes you on the front wheel only at 150 km's / hr and the rider is picking his nose?
