There's something about the unique Harley-Davidson motorcycle designs that have captivated American riders for decades. The low, heavy frames with their loud, rumbling engines are symbols of power, toughness, and the freedom of the open road. But while many Harley enthusiasts may enjoy the simple pleasure of riding a stock design, there is a deep-rooted subculture that loves nothing more than custom modification. There's something cathartic about taking a beloved design and then transforming it to make it truly your own. There are various levels of modification, but replacing the handlebars is one of the cheapest ways to transform the look and feel of your Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.
