WOW!! what a bad Idea

[89redgt]

im surprised this joker dosent have a disclaimer..Do a slow speed lowside on some gravel, that lever digs in to the pavement as ur trying to hold on..... someone is gonna get their fingers chopped off or worse

[dagus]

You ever brush your fingers along the inside of the levers as you go to grab them? Yeah, OUCH.

What's really stupid is they're probably not really sharp, so the idiot that installs them is probably thinking, "well, it's not like they're actually sharpened" and doesn't realize that upon impact, the dull edge is enough...

What's a few fingers when you could be THAT COOL ?It does finally make clear the reason that some guys like those leather tassles---Turniquets for those fingers stubs!

[neurida81]

That's Just ridiculous. Never, evvvvvver, going on any bike of mine. Make a nice show piece to go with the sword collection though.

Yeah I can just see the guys down at the DOT shaking there heads,

“Well Jim looks like we’re going to have to rewrite 57B under motorcycle hand controls to read, “May not use knifes or swords as hand controls”

I agree but you'd think common sense would prevail over.... . Nevermind

What's really, really stupid is you just know some idiot is going to get them (the same idiot that thinks they're cool) and brag to his friends "yeah, they came dull but I sharpened them."

Holy hell. You're right.

A friend told me a story of someone they knew in another riding group in our area (mostly 18 to early 20is squids that think the street is a track group) that got some of those spiked bar end weights for his Busa. He was going around a curve and lost it, low sided and the bar came down on his leg. They said it punched a 1 inch hole in his leg and dragged him along the road for 8 feet until it came to a stop. Some idiots think what "they think looks cool" come first before safety.

"....to make it three times more painful, as they still continue to cut off my fingers. I love pain!"
