Them's some big bars

Do they not have problems at WOF time with stuff like that? I mean if you roll up for your WOF in a car with a steering wheel the size of a CD or to go the other extreme and have a steering wheel the size of a car tyre I'm sure the WOF man would be all frowny.

They're usually all frowny anyway...tossers all of 'em

[HenryDorsetCase]

Maybe you should. You may like them both.

Fuck yeah! Fat chicks are awesome!

Oddly enough I was having a discussion about the amount (or lack) of control you would have with Ape Hangers. Cornering aside, if you have to do an emergency stop, your arms wouldn't be able to take any of your body weight. In fact your hands would have to hold about 4G's of it through the entire process. I see a faceplant into the side ofhwatever you hit coming up.

I've never ridden one. The weight puts me off. Just like fat chicks.

loooool, Awesome

Yeah, but with ape hangers you'd look so totally cool, and you'd have that many girls after you it wouldn't matter.

That's alright, they adjust the brakes so that's never a problem. Have a look at them.


Only way to make that front tyre squeal would involve a righteous bro, a dark room & some approved Hog lubricant.


my word; righteous bro [think that's the right term, its been a 3 decades since I read an Easyrider, or in the wind or whatever it was called],

No prob so long as you have the safety exhausts [shotgun pipes]

Let's take an already underpowered, overweight, poor handling bike, and fuck it even more!

Not sure I agree with the 'underpowered' bit but other than that, Wot he said. And i've ridden plenty of them.

Not true. The one in the foreground is one I'm building.

Two pot single disc front, drum at back, apes, suicide shifter, and no seat at the back for chicks.


... because I can.

Just read this here http://www.goingfaster.com/angst/noharley2.html

It's a long read but it's worth looking at.

An amusing read. I'll bet he's glad he got that off his chest. Many great one liners in it but if you can't be bothered to read the whole thing here's the closing line.

Harley Davidson. It's not a motorcycle company. It is a pagan cult religion for brain dead trend humping fashion lemmings.

[Brian407]

Hahaha.... Love it.

Check out the home page of that site. He seriously hates Harleys. Loved this quote as well

"We've all seen that bumper sticker: "If God rode a motorcycle, it would be a Harley." I thought to myself......
now I know why God hasn't made His second coming..... He's still stuck in a cornfield
out in Nebraska or somewhere waiting for parts!"

You wouldn't want to slide off that seat and end up with your ass hitting that tyre. That could hurt.

[JimO]

spotted this at the Vincent a couple of years ago

Theres a small fender (not on it in that picture).

Rear of the seat has a curve to it, with leather lacing around the edging.

Old photo, taken with an old phone.

No idea what it'll ride like, but it wasn't built to "perform". Only to "go".
