Re:New Member from NJ 4 Years, 11 Months ago  
Yeah, before we started disassembling it, I've rode it a few times with the ape hangers on it. It's a tough way to ride if you ask me. It's almost like steering an ATV but scarier. lol I'm more of a counter steering type of rider. We have a few extra parts here from the different bikes we've had over the years so I'm putting on one of our "old" bars for the time being. I'd like to look into the Barron Starbars or the Nostalgia Bars. I've heard good things about them.

I'm definitely going to need a choke cable though. This one is on it's last leg.

As for the NJ drivers...your right. But I think the North Jersey drivers are way worse. Our group takes a charity ride up to Long Island every year in early May, talk about a white knuckle ride. That's a tough crowd, they don't care what your driving, they will run you over as soon as look at you. lol Anyway, I hear everyone takes it nice and easy in NC so your better off down there!

Ride Safe All!

Re:New Member from NJ 4 Years, 11 Months ago  
We lived in Ocean Township & I worked in Asbury Park - right on the Jersey Shore for 7+ years.

Riding there during the summer - tourist - months was always risky.

The backroads here in NC are beautiful and the people are waaaayy friendlier!

I've got a set of chrome beach style bars with about 4" rise and 6" pullback. I'll have to see if I can find the brand & model number. I'd let them go for a reasonable amount - and I'm coming up to Eatontown, NJ mid-April - could bring them with me.
