I think you're right, Kevin.
I know the law in "The People's Republic" of California(I knew you'd like that one) is that the bars can not be any higher than the rider's shoulder.
BUT, I see yo-yos almost as "cool" as this yo-yo is(in other words, Apehangers almost as high as this bike) all the time on the roads around here however, and so I guess the LEOs are just turning a blind eye towards 'em nowdays.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

In reality no state in the union allows a two wheel vehicle with bars that high anyway do they.? You would get a ticket in very short order by the first LEO who sees you.
Any self-respecting LEO would probably give that a miss...can you imagine the arms on that guy? Way, way over the normal LEO pay-grade...

Yeah Ed, but how on earth will those LEOs be able to ignore these guys once Phil gets his tassel business up and running?!
(talk about flaging down an officer, huh?!...they'll have to blind in BOTH EYES to ignore this infraction then, wouldn't ya say?!)

I am going to include a line of camouflage tassels. Also going to include pink for those lovely HD ladies.

MAN Phil! I'm impressed!
You REALLY HAVE thought this whole venture through, haven't you???!!!
(you little entepreneur, you!)
HEY! You know I have a whole lot o' free time nowdays(as if THAT isn't pretty much self-evident already), and I was just wondering if I could possibly be your West Coast Distributor for this thing???(that is before I move to Prescott in a couple of years)
You know, there's a whole lot o' Harley riders out here TOO!

Here's my take on it: the author is very good, even removed the metadata tags from the file, but have a look at the helmet thru the see-thru left forearm:
and the much larger pixels under the right pit...it's a good Photoshop job by an expert 
Nope. It's a combination of glare off the helmet and JPEG artifacts from the lossy compression scheme. 
You ARE the weakest link. Good-bye.

I think all the fun has been taken out of this thread.
Sometimes some people around here over-analyze the snot out of stuff instead of just relaxing and rolling with the joke.

It certainly didn't have to over-analyze anything.

It's true, I am the weakest link. Looks like the bike has been re-painted and has new pipes.

Look at the glare on the tank. There is a particular class of data error that is usually the consequence of quantization in glossy data compression. Where transform coding is used, they typically assume the form of one of the basis functions of the coder's transform space. This explains the gentleman's grimace in the afore mentioned photograph.
