bars leaning forward?
Trev:
different generation, different tricks. a lot of old school flatland is easier with the bars forward. as most old schoolers were all rounders they rode the same for ramps.

I once put motorbike clip on ace bars on my redline which allowed me to drag my elbows and knees on the ground :idiot2:anyone else remember doing that ???

the reason bars were forward on burners is obvious, its because gypsys rode them and they used the bars as a platform to advertise thier wares, lucky heather, clothes pegs and the like. :LolLolLolLol:

I used to ride with my bars slightly forward, just over vertical to get a bit of lift for wheelies, ground tricks and jumping. Too far forward and the steering became sketchy and twitchy. IMHO, Burners were always too far forward for two reasons, first the riders rarely ever got them odd the ground due to the geometry so ran them further forward to get as much lift as possible. Secondly they were too stupid to tighten their stems up properly so the bars slipped further forward when landing with all that weight behind it :LolLolLolLol:
