Realities, and I mean no disrespect, the Googlemap ,competent and sensible, the smiley thing, friendly and welcoming, the current white helmet thingy, evil, waiting for your own execution.

You're a muppet, always have been a muppet, and you should stay a muppet, tradition is everything with our thumper, drunk or not.

"waitng for my own execution?"...

That cured my identity crisis...

I'm a muppet...:-?... friendly and welcoming... ;)...

OK,  Now we expect to see,
That white FF helmet,
With a, ‘yarn’, facade, showing a,
’Smiley Face’.     ::)

(Or perhaps some other, “moppet, identity”.)   :D

Oh, now that I know you wear a couple of sizes smaller than me,
when you ’score’ a Quality Leather Jacket,
in XLT,  let me know !   ;D
(Out in that  frigid, AZ climenet)

but no smiley face   >:(

of course easiest thing to do would be to paint your helmet yeller and put two black spots above the face shield.   :)

Post by LANCER on 05/26/15 at 07:42:09

I like that idea; painting your helmet yellow and dabbing two black dots above the face shield.  Yep, that's what you should do.

I wanna see the origin of the googlemapped one. Looks like I will need to look through Google streetview of everywhere there could have possibly have been a Savage. I skip any Harley dealers, and the Twin Peaks in Waco, too.

Time to get started, this will take a while.  :P

Hey, Sero, are those the stock drags rotated downward, or am I totally off on that?

Title: Re: I'm conflicted,... vote for me...
Post by Serowbot on 05/26/15 at 15:12:54

Not the stock ones, but might as well be...
Mine came stock with pullbacks, so these are off ebay... 32" I think...with a 3" straight riser

looks interesting, wonder if that'd help with my issues, I might try it
thanks for the info

You have issues? :-/

Title: Re: I'm conflicted,... vote for me...
Post by Art Webb on 05/27/15 at 09:03:52

Hands tingling / going numb while riding
sometimes it's more pronounced than others, and it seems to be positional
I also get it in the gym sometimes, and sometimes I get it in my sleep
Thinking a different bar position might help, as I don't recal it being as bad on my rebel (buckhorns)

Title: Re: I'm conflicted,... vote for me...
Post by Serowbot on 05/27/15 at 09:20:18

I find a slight downward tilt to the bars to be easier on the shoulders (I have some slight rotator cuff damage that I don't want surgery for)... once your arms are relaxed, there is automatically less tingling in the hands...
Might help you... :-?...

What are you doing to mitigate the problem?

I've lowered my volume of training, added in stretching of the forearms / fingers, and trying to limit taxing of my grip at work
My doctor seems to think it's overuse
I disagree, but what do I know, I'm just an ignorant savage

Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/27/15 at 11:22:23

Lowes has work gloves, netting on back, leather palm with sections of gal pad overlay on main contact point. I practiced lighter and lighter grips till I could maintain a speed with an almost open hand.
Tight motor mounts and the gentlest grip and of course the bar,hand,wrist angles,,

Title: Re: I'm conflicted,... vote for me...
Post by Art Webb on 05/28/15 at 14:43:40

My gloves are padded, too, and I try to grip lightly
I also release different fingered entirely, and have even turned the hand on edge on the bar (yes I can hold the throttle open with the edge of my hand
letting my arm hang for 5 seconds does the trick, I should get a throttle lock for freeway running (only happens if I hold throttle steady for a while)
I was just in Lowes the other day, buying tie downs
which I think I'll have to return  >:(
cheap crap

Title: Re: I'm conflicted,... vote for me...
Post by MnSpring on 05/28/15 at 18:24:22


I’ll do that, (Thought I was the only one),
Lay my hand, ‘up & down’, Thumb up,
side meat of the palm, resting on top of the throttle,
(This is at constant speed, or very little variable)
Hand ‘relaxed’.   It helps !

We've totally hijacked this thread, sorry Serow
I get this on bicycles, too, except beach cruisers with the U shaped handlebars
maybe I should look for some like that to fit a motorcycle
