LOL, that was my wife in the photos, and the bike is primarily her scoot.
Me, I'm much more feminine, and still obsessed with getting my Honda 50 cc scooter over 31 mph.
We go riding together sometimes, and I get home about a week after she does. Might need to put some performance apehangers on so I can keep up.

I don't know about the performance but you will definitley look a bit cooler with the apes lol
To get that Honda Scooter over 31mph you need to get it down to 1/8 of a tank and then ride it naked down hill with the wind at your back - I bet you hit 33mph
oh! and do it on an empty stomach

I had a Lindby Multibar on my Bones when it went down two weeks ago, probably saved the bike from being more damaged than it ended up being, but in the end it probably only saved parts for the salvage yard. The techs I talked to said that the thing with the bars is that they are great for saving your legs and the engine, but in a crash they typically put a hell of a torque on the frame, and in most cases even if you just bend the tabs where the bar mounts to the frame it's considered frame damage and that a lot of places won't straighten frames as part of insurance claims, that it would be a full replacement or nothing.
The way I crashed it probably didn't save my legs from anything as I was thrown off the bike before it went down, but depending on the bike I get next I'll probably get another one. I'd rather walk away from a crash with both legs intact and the ability to ride a new bike than watch someone else ride off on my old bike after I sold it to them from a wheelchair.
And for looks I'm definitely a Lindby guy, I think they typically are way sharper looking than the more rounded ones. although I do think the rounded ones don't look too bad on a Heritage, but I'm not really a big Heritage guy anyway.

I I had not thought of that. I still like the looks of the kindhearted bars though.
