Just put 16's on my SGS, and I'll be there in Sturgis this year!

 

That bike is ridiculous. And not in a good way.

 

I would hope that those bars are meant as a spoof. If not, I think S.D. might rethink their position on apes. Agree with baldguy13 100%, they are truly too stupid looking for words, IMHO.

 

I guess those are for highways as turning would be difficult.

 

Nope, they are very real. And the guy rides the bike like that.

That picture was taken in Defiance, MO where there are two pretty popular "watering holes".

I saw him there once, and took these.

 

Higher you go the more you lose your strength and are in less control of the situation.

 

Now Those are what I would call "Ape Hangers". No Doubt about it. Not raised handlebars. LOL----man oh man.

 

Not necessarily true. The closer to level your arms are in riding position, the better your control and strength. This guys bike, yeah, is just unsafe, but some mid sized apes that level your arms out will take less effort to steer with than the low *** bars they use from the factory. Pulling and pushing straight out or in takes less effort than pulling or pushing in and out when your arms are at an angle.

 

I would say most guys triceps are not so built up, unless you are steering with your chest muscles which you do to a certain extent, but the bulk of your power is in your is in shoulders.
Higher you go, more power/control you lose.
Logical.
