I wish someone with some serious money and an interest in legal fights would get nailed for riding with "unsafe" apes. Seems like the state should be able to prove that something is dangerous with professional testing. I get the idea that the state just passes "safety" laws based on perception rather than evidence and that these laws stay on the books because no one has the means or the interest in challenging them.
What should happen is everybody sould git together and find out who passed the laws and go talk to them and vote them out of office to stop needless attacks against people that ride bikes. But everybody waits on everybody else to do things like this. You can vote to stop stuff like this and git people behind you. Write yer state legislator.

Going the political route isn't necessarily a good idea. Politicians don't like to overturn laws that were supposedly created to increase safety.Politicians would only support such a measure if a large group of the population wanted a change AND if they had some type of scientific evidence to support their argument. Otherwise, they have nothing to gain, other than to win the support of a relatively small number of bikers.

That's why it needs to be handled in the courts where a legal team can challenge the state and try to get them to demonstrate why their laws are justified. In court, the facts have a much better chance of deciding an outcome than simple rhetoric. Not a guarantee, but a better chance.

I used to run drag bars but went to Apes after a bad crash and two virtabra welded together in my lower back. I could not lean over to ride so went with apes, made it alot more comfee. And I have ran Apes on everything since. I got a 94 Electra now and trying to figure out if they make apes for it. I have 12" Apes on my hardtail still and love em.
