Saw this dude on the way back from my CL score. He was a big dude with a red white and blue eagle tattoo on his back ( you can sort of see it thru the back hair )

Maybe he needed the added room for his belly.

At least they were stout construction. Got to give him :seasix: for actually riding it.

Above 20 mph you turn like any other bike. Where they would get dicey is in a parking lot for instance.

Lot of guys don't angle them correctly, or adjust their riding position to suit the speed, which is key with apes. The slower you go, the further forward you need to lean into the bars. Most guys just lean back and straight arm them, which is fine at speed, but in the parking lot it limits your ability to react. Lean into them and you can then put good leverage into them, and provided you have them angled correctly, go lock-to-lock at will.

I also found that by filling the apes with sand, it dulled the dartiness apes have at parking lot speed. I did it to eliminate vibration, the handling improvement was a bonus.

Ive got 18" (Actually closer to 20", Carlini apes run high) on mine and have never had the slightest problem.

It'd be a hoot to train an orangutan to ride one of them mofo's. "Every Which Way But Loose" like a mofo!
