Two things I can't understand - choppers and monkey bars. It would seem both would be detrimental to
the handling of the bike. Never tried them though. I'm thinking they're more for attention getting
than anything else. Monkey bars *must* get uncomfortable after a few miles.

Yeah, "Ape Hangers". They never made sense to me either.

I asked a chopper guy once why they had those little tear drop tanks.
He said by the time you used that gallon of gas, you wanted to get
off.

That makes sense. My Guzzi holds almost six gallons. I used to stop every 100 miles, once for a
cigarette, and then for a cigarette and fill-up. Now I stop every 60-70 miles - to pee. And every
third pee break I fill up. Getting old's a bitch.
