What sort of control can you have with a monstrosity like this?

I've seen quite a few bikes for sale at D&K with ludicrous bars like those, often fitted alongside king&queen seats and appalling exhausts. Just goes to show what a nation of complete idiots the yanks tend to be! ;D ;D

I don't think I would even be able to reach those bars, or if I could my arse wouldn't be on the seat  ;D ;D ;D

If you take a look at my avatar
those Ape hangers were on it along with straight through pipes and Harley back wheel
all confined to the "trash" now.
I assume the cam chain 10mm x 5mm grooves worn in the chain tunnel were because the rider couldn't hear it
 rattling because of the noise from the exhaust.
Restored picture coming in 2017 :)
