    Anyone ever heard of wheelie bars referred to as Sissy Bars? I was under the car (it's at the engine builders shop)yesterday going over everthing and a couple of guys come in and were commenting on the car and referred to the bars as Sissy bars, it kinda rubbed me the wrong way, so I came out from under the car and toldem IMO it would be pretty stupid not to have them on there at least until I see what the car is capable of....they didn't stay long after that.

    sounds to me like someone just trying to get your goat. also sounds like it worked. i think it hints of the potential. don't let it bother you.:)p.s. you might just tell them there jealous cause they don't even have anything that even needs sissy bars.:yup:

    Well ...I guess the right "Macho tough guy " would call the roll bars sissy bars too huh?

    Some people go though life wishing they`d gotten just one more good "whoppin" as a child.
