Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
I just do it like everyone else.
Me too. I guess there's only one way.
Less resistance?Nice day for a ride so went a few miles on the ‘79 Spitfire. Took the 40+ year old foam off the bars yesterday. Lots faster now!

Got out for a good test ride on Maurice yesterday afternoon to try out the 22" apes with the OCC fork. I set the grips at 34" wide since the stock 38" is a bit wide to fit through most doors. It rode great!! Much better than expected.

Thanks @Sven ! I've been having fun with it! I was really surprised how well it rides in that configuration. 
Had a few flashbacks to my youth when I stood up for hills or fast starts.
Got some good feedback while I was out. One woman said "That's the coolest bike I've ever seen!" (I blushed, said thank you and thought maybe she doesn't get out much...
)
Luckily she didn't see when I had to hop a curb while flying down a hill to avoid a collision with an auto. The tank popped off since it is only being held with disposable shop rags rolled up and wedged onto the top bar, the bars could have been clamped a but tighter and moved a little.....
Flew across the intersection off the curb with one hand on the bar & the other trying to catch the tank with help from my knees.
Good times!!
