Extreme ape-hangers?

[Zedhed]

Is it just me, or are these a little too over the top? This riding style looks like a medieval torture device (the rack?)

It looks like he is dying for attention.

That is INSANE! I wonder how long it takes until your arms go numb.

 

[Panzerman]

Wow! That is crazy. Iam not sure how to even turn that.

Don't think so, it looks like a cell phone picture. How do you make the arms change position and the tassels on the handlebars?

Definitely looks like Photoshop to me.

A friend of a friend has bars almost that tall. He managed to ride the thing 400+ miles round trip to Laughlin and back.

Carolinas like that, u cant make the turns, wonder how he escaped the troopers on a safety issue, u cant make quickturns like that.

Just one comment: He be so bad!

 

[CourierDriver]

lol, Well it does keep ur armpits aired out and may cut down on ur expenses of underarm deoderant usage. Maybe in the long run its a good idea or ur pits fill up with bugs,,,lol

I'd like to see what happens if someone pulls out in front of him.There is a cornering clearance issue with apehangers too - I once hit a girl standing on a street corner,as I went around the corner the bars (and my hands)went right over the curb and over the footpath.

If it is real, it's illegal. I think most states limit the height to around 15-18".

So, are you saying that all those LOUD straight pipes on many bikes are legal? Like, when did "legal" ever affect what some people do?

 

[d00df00d]

I think he was just making an observation.

 

[boraticus]

Maybe that's why they're called "ape hangers" and not "Einstein hangers".

I have loud pipes. I don't care if they are legal or not and I don't care about how high somebody's Apes are/ I was just making a comment, man - ease up.
