Really? REALLY?

Really. Caught my own bar ends plenty of times walking through the garage. One of those spikey bits of crap would be a bit sore on the rib cage

He was probably bent over for his 'riding buddy'

Not sure what relevance my height makes as I don't ride a gsxr? Walk into something pointy like that is going to hurt some bit of your body.

Look further ahead or walk slower then

Somebody posted earlier in the week that the lounge was turning into mumsnet. Seems like BB is headed that way, too!

Why oh why do sportsbike owners insist on butchering their bikes with the addition of utter tat - st carbon fibre|double bubbles|anodised crap|microscopic indicators|tail tidys - it goes on and on.

To be fair, the "chopper" scene is much, much worse imho.

As for these bar ends, hold on a second. Your OH likes them?

Maybe this is why... http://www.guysdollsandtoys.com/vibrators/chrome-m...

Bin off your OH if she like those, she clearly has no taste.

She's with me, she has great taste.....just a momentary slip with the bars.

Anyway...UPDATE; the bar ends are gone and replaced with some standard ends.

Cheers for all the help folks.

How did you dispose of the unwanted goods in the end?

Did you choke her or throw her down the stairs?

How did you get the bar ends off after all of this?

When my R1 got stolen I gave up trying to do a like-for-like replacement of the bike and bought something else instead - every single one of them had been ruined.

Because people join Facebook owners clubs where it seems the more tat you add to your bike, the more man-love you'll receive.
I'm a member of the Blackbird Facebook group - some of the crap those guys stick to their bikes is laughable. But dare post a negative comment and you risk getting banned There are some odd people out there!

Took a grinder to the ends and then could see inside, thy were threaded but just very well threaded and glued and glued and glued, bit of heat from a heat gun and hey presto, ste removed. And now my girlfriends prefers it. Good job, or id of found a replacement for her too!

I had trouble ghetting the bar ends of my SV650. My dads work colleague allowed me to watch him use an impact driver / screwdriver thing (wack and turn) and that freed them off
