Out of control!
« on: May 31, 2017, 01:35:52 PM »
Saw this on Pinterest.  Thought this would cause some fuss.  I see no reason for this.... but man, what a lot of work to accomplish this result.

Why do some people insist on putting tassles on the end of their bars? Just makes it look silly. ;D

I think the throttle cable could be run a little cleaner? Or would that kill the look?!

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

There's the alternative...the upside down ape hangers.



Just did a google search for ape hangers and my bike comes up as the second photo.  This was 10 years ago, the first vision I had for the bike.

I can only imagine what the guys at Motion Pro thought when they got the request for a custom cable 6' long.
