The steering would be damn near non-existent. Anything other then straightline would make for a very interesting situation, I bet. Bet the shoulders are sore after a ride. Just looks stupid to me. Check out the exhaust. Maybe he just wanted everybody to know his is longer then everybody else's!?

Looks sort of photo-shopped to me. If it is real, however, I wonder how he gets his fingers around the break and clutch levers.

Oh come on...you don't need a clutch to shift this monster, just jam it from gear to gear like a real man. Besides, I dont believe these things come w front brakes anyway do they.?
peace,

I agree. Photoshop is written all over it.

Cruisers only use the rear brake. Too afraid of going over the handlebars. :S

If it's his wife's bike, then those bars will dry her armpit hairs very well.:blink:

Like to see that guy make a u-turn. :woohoo:

Looks very photochopped to me.. but either way, dont real men use a suicide shift? Real riders shift without the clutch

The pic could well be chopped, but it's quite likely that some yutz has put a set of those crazy things on a bike. Ape hangers taller than shoulder high are illegal here in Kansas, but I've never heard of anyone getting a ticket for it. Most likely the cops figure any idiot that does that will eventually get what's coming to them.
