yeah, i have risers on one of my bikes and the moment i got them i was hopping curbs and just plain ol' ****in **** up. its a lot of fun. even rode semi long distances, in the wind i just put my hands in the center part, although it wasn't the best position to ride in. but i could see how they would get old. i like the horns on my main bike now but i want to tryout a decent pair of risers eventually.
