    Hello from San Francisco guys!

    IMG_1459.jpg


    Just wanted to post a picture of my bike and get myself out there! I previously made a post but it didn't have a picture of my GS so wanted people to see her in all her glory!

      Planning on some off-roading with the Bark-Busters?

          A generic term for the hand guards on the handlebars.
          Don't often see them on street bikes.

                      It seems to me that having your handlebars hit a mirror on a car while passing it, and with there being far more cars that have mirrors that are fixed in position than those with flexible-mount mirrors, it is more than a bit likely to cause loss of control of your bike

                      Second
                      If someone is riding that close to other vehicles that the risk of injury to your hands, as well as the risk of losing control of the bike, are already-known factors (presumably due to experience) then that someone doing this is NOT a safe rider.

                      EDIT.....
                      And what about the inevitable paint and/or structural damage that is caused to the mirror(s) when handlebars hit them?
