sandman 0 Posted July 21, 2005 i think shorter handlebars make a rider go faster.. scientific really.. kinda like the fastest way around a racetrack is on the inside line.. long handlebars make a rider go slower because it takes more time to wrestle with em.. shorter handlebars look faster standing still but long handlebars are more impressive to see a rider struggling with while riding.. i dunno.. just a thought.. where the hell is jj?

Gemini 4,894 Posted July 21, 2005 I hope this isn't going to go the same way as Handlebars parts one and two? Where have you been Sandman? Got caught up in a storm somewhere? I was really worried - not about you but the assorted pets you have on board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIWIPIRATE 0 Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) As the instigator of the original original thread, I would just like to say that is indeed a fine line-up and show of proper handlebars - you'd never turn one of those brutes with the namby-pamby girly bars they have now......
