:cheeky1: Those are for the VERY inexperienced rider. :cheeky1: It kinda does put a new meaning to crash bars. I don't know about yall, but my 'wing doesn't have "crash bars". It has "engine gaurds". Crash bars insinuate that I am going to crash!!! :tongue:

That particular drawing was a tribute to Joan Claybrook and her anti motorcycle feelings. She tried her best to get all motorcycles off the road..She couldn't do it so she and her National Highway Traffic Safety Administration cowboys built what was called the "backwards" motorcycle. It steered from the rear and it only took something like less than 10 seconds into its first test ride to throw its driver breaking many bones...N H T S A scrapped that design. Joan Claybrook was very good friends with Ralph Nader enough said........
