It has been a while since I have posted much of anything so here we go. I know there are a lot of people who believe different things about apes. Let's hear what they are...

 

Keep your pits drier.

 

...not really recommended for hanging actual apes.

 

Don't like em...

 

One Joker on here posted "Just today I saw this stunning red Deluxe and it had these redonkulously ginormous bars that ,in my opinion,completly ruined the bike.Am I missing something? Every time I see a bike like that It just screams POSER!"

apes = poser?

 

I love the look of apes, but I have some medical issues (arthritis in both shoulders, torn tendons in and around rotator cuff, bulged disks in neck...) that make tall apes very uncomfortable for long rides. Mini-apes are a good compromise for me. Not quite the look I like, but I can ride all day in comfort.

 

In reality, I'd guess that most of use are more poser than hardcore, regardless of what type of bars we have.

 

I have to agree with you. I used to ride year round. Though the ice, snow andrain, nothing kept me off of two wheels. Now that I am almost 40, I have realized that I have a car for that!!
I hate to admit it, but I have become a fair weatherrider[:@].

 

Never ridden in snow or ice, and never will. Rain does not bother me unless it is flooding the streets.

 

Yep, I hate to say it but I don't enen enjoy riding in the rain anymore. Oh crap, I think I just hijacked this thread!!
