And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
On our older motorcycles and snowmobiles, the handgrips were typically made to stay in place by the use of tape and then some adhesive (that way you can remove and replace (with aftermarket, personal preference, style, etc.). But in this photograph, it appears as though the whole left side handlebar broke completely off. I am guessing that the motorcycle somehow fell over. And that he is just unhappy that it could not withstand it.
What do the wires do in the left one?
ReplyDeleteLast 2 wheeler I owned was in the 70's and there were no wires in the left one.
Wires typically provide a path for electricity. Hopes this helps.

ReplyDeleteHard to down shift with no clutch.
What's more worrying hand grip coming away or wasting time getting a phone/camera out to take a picture? Not sure this is a genuine situation.
