Hyper handlebars-remove for the summer

I order to improve my riding skills, I'm going to ride this summer without handlebars. What do you think? Also, can you think of other parts one could remove to help sharpen a Hyper's cycling skills?

Certainly save any damage and will make your tyres last a long time.

Take the chain off too, no point in wearing that out if you don't have too, remember to oil your muffler bearings tho as they may lock up.

I recommend drilling your rims to reduce weight, too.

In my experience that is not a good idea because the inside then becomes the outside which will add more weight, this will certainly thump harder over the judder bars at Starbucks and image is everything.
