I'm sure you believe that. But just be very cautious. Like drugs, alcohol, Sons of Anarchy, and many other bad, ugly habits, these things can sneak up on you. It is a slippery slope.

It starts with something innocent like sitting on a friends bike with apes. You get this rush inside. The dark side of your conscience is whispering, "You bad! You bad! Chicks will dig you." You jump off. Your feelings, emotions are twisted and conflicting.

You know its wrong but you can't help thinking about it. You begin to dream about it. Hide pictures of bikes with apes and look at them when no one else is looking. Stop at MC shops and run you hands along the long, sleek, smooth apes of other bikes.

Five years later, you have lost everything. Only hope is an AA (Apes Anonymous) 12-step program.

Put Wild Ones Mini Apes on my 09 RG. Got my arms up more level with my heart and improved my back position. Love them!

My wife caught me looking at Ape's in a bagger magazine when I was in the bathroom. I'm so ashamed I can hardly face her now.

Thanks. But it is only from experience that I speak. I don't want anyone else to fall into this trap. If I can save just one biker from the Ape Hell I went through, then it was worth it.
