Anybody try using this type tape on their handle bars?

Scapa 167 Cohesive Friction Tape: 3/4 in. x 60 ft. (Black)
I remember using it on the bars of my 1957 Kushman Scooter after I rebuilt its wiring harness. It was 1964 and as I remember the tape held up well. No matter what I did I never could get that scooter running. Forty years later, my Mom told me she was putting sugar water in the gas tank to keep me off of it... Oh well... At least I had my Western Flyer...
