 Man... I`d like to see that jerk with the ape hangers take that turkey of a bike through some twisties at speed. Probably wouldn`t make the first turn.

Frankly, I'm surprised he put those on with the idea of moving.

I don't think most states require turn signals for motorcycles.

I have them, but I don't use them, it's easier to look back, make eye contact, and point down at the lane you're going into. and I think safer.
