Am I the only one that wants to laugh hard when I see Harleys with Ape Hangers?

[}Dragon{]

I'll sell you the ones off my Hunduh.

^^^ How much for the vest?

 

[VTRZA]

you know what always makes me want to laugh hard? When a noob tries to gain some cred by posting a squid or harley bashing thread

They are pretty comic, but hey, ride your own ride and don't worry about them.

My grand-uncle has spent the last 30-40 years building choppers (before it got you onto Discovery), and I felt some of his friends bikes looked pretty ridiculous, but they could ride circles around me.

Their bike, their life, their call.

There is only one "air cooled" Harley I would own and it's only being sold in the UK.

Oh do I ever feel the same way. That has got to be a fun bike to ride.
As far as ape hangers go I think they make the bike look ugly but as long as
the rider can ride it safe and likes them then so be it.

How about a guy that puts apehangers on anything- oh, and forward controls.

+1000

 

[wellbredred]

to the harley rider with ape hangers that gave me a helmet tap this am. Moto LEO was 1/2 mile ahead parked on the median, giving me time to back off a bit.

 

[phr0st]

He wasn't tapping his helmet, he was convulsing from not having any blood circulation through his arms.

Race with a Harley

I will always remember that moment. I don't think I've ever pedaled
so hard in my life. And, some of the credit must go to Raleigh
cycles, as well. They really make a great bicycle...

What is the average size? 5'10"?

Kind of, the average height of a US male is (maybe surprisingly) 5' 9" a 31" inseam is also average. Most dirt bikes, super motartds and dual sports need a rider of >34" inseam to flat foot.

OK thread-jack over.

Hardly's - to each their own
Moderate shoulder height Ape Hangers - likewise
Dumb ass, arms full stretch/crusifix height, hardly in control, can't turn properly, wobbling down the road - please go and rid it in dumbfuckistan and nowhere near me

Forget the apehangers! I heard they have fuel injection and disk brakes, and some of them don't use points in the iginition anymore!

Funny thing though, they would rather walk than ride a japanese bike but could care less if that's your preference.

See, this is what I don't get.

I'd rather be on 2 wheels on anything, girls bike, harley, chopper, cruiser, whatever, than walking. I'd rather be on a damn bicycle than walking. I don't understand the attitude that goes with harleys about how anything else doesn't deserve the grace of their kingly ass. It's a fucking motorcycle, you ride it. Who cares, sit back and love each bike for what it is...and I guess what it isn't too.

My point was that they don't care what others do, they're into thier own stuff and that's that. I think it's that old school mentality, once you drove a Ford you wouldn't look at a Chevy even if you wanted to and vice versa. What the hell, diversity makes for an interesting world.

If BARF is a sportbike forum, why are there forums like Dirtybarfing, Supermotard, Sporttouring/Adventure/Cruising,.....? No there isn't a Harley specific one,...but it's the joy of two wheel riding (minus the "ape hanger" comments),.BTW what makes you so great or the authority of riding,... on a Concourse?.....

Not authority at all. Plain and simple, I'm just trash talking! Don't like it? Kiss it! Go read some other thread. It's not like this thread's title isn't self explanatory!
