Any of you who think about getting a former military vehicle....

I'll tell you that although maintenance was regularly scheduled... we drove these well beyond their capability on a regular and recurring basis...

You guys were busy today. Just finished back reading.

I had a blast hanging out back in there! Craig was on a mission so we were wam bam and thank you ma’am but certainly got some cold brew. Just a great trip thanks @ZMan67S

Are you guys making it up this year?

It arrived.
Now what grips should I use. The real wood ones, the factory plastic ones, I have those. Or the carbon fiber.

Just a fly by, looks like a happy bunch here.

I had several bikes with ape hangers...................would not ride one without them if I had the choice. However, height has to be comfortable and not too tall.

Oh that's scary, I just got back from PaPa Murphys and when I was setting at the stop light, a guy with ape hangers cruised through the intersection. I thought to myself, man those are stupid. Oops, sorry. My arms would be asleep and ready to fall off if I held my arms over 10 min.

It is opposite and helps on long rides with shoulder aches and pains. When I lived in California I went to a friend's retirement in El Paso Texas and rode the bike. Took my time going out there, but coming back rode straight through. From El Paso Texas to Atwater California over 1100 miles only stopping for fuel. Again the height has to be right, the guys with the really tall ones are just trying to look cool......................

I know straight bars or low/ rice rocket bars would munch my back, so it makes sense to me. More upright

BMW touring would be very nice...................you know that commute though a bunch of idiots and your head needs to be on a swivel. Bad enough on 4 wheels...................

Difficult to see, but the scooter has ghost flames and the helmet is flamed also

That's a real helmet btw. Snell approved, not just DOT

 

[Scott_ 69HemiDart]

I always wore a full-face helmet in California................

Plus they give you way more leverage in turns so you expend less effort, again reducing fatigue. We always run apes!
