Reason that ape hangers came about?
A new friend commented on my apes when he saw my bike and told me taht the reason apes came about was because people used to string piano wire across the street where biker gangs would rie by, decapitating them. The apes would catch the wire instead of the people and that is why they were created. Any comments? Opinions? WTF?

Id need more supporting documentation before buying into that, sounds like an urban myth to me. Im pretty sure the customizers and early choppers had these before any quote unquote, biker gangs adopted them for, that umm reason.
But it still brings up a good question, who built and installed the first one???? Curious minds want to know.

My story is that they came out for the guys choppin' their scoots, and if they wanted to put a wimpshield on, rather than looking like a candy-butt ALL the time, they would just wrap Saran Wrap around the apes, and have a temp wimpshield. Stops raining, jerk the stuff off, and voila, 'tough guy', again.
