A good stache is hard to find and when you do you better grab on tight and hold on to that sucker for the whole ride, hence “The Handlebar”
Structure: Your mouth is beautiful and The Handlebar underscores that beauty like a three sided picture frame of hair.
Origin: Colonial Mustard, London 1623.
Practical Purpose: Gives universal license to invite people to, “Jump on for a moustache ride!”; stores leftovers from previous meals for intra-day snacking.
Best Accessories: Leather chaps, cowboy hats, pantaloons (often all at once).
Often Spotted: In San Francisco gay bars, revolutionary war reenactments across the Eastern US and Hells Angels gatherings.

This is a Fu Manchu, NOT a handlebar!
This is neither a Fu Mancho nor a Handlebar, both of which have detached extremities. This is a Horseshoe.

“A full moustache with vertical extensions grown on the corners of the lips and down the sides of the mouth to the jawline, resembling an upside-down horseshoe. The whiskers grown along the sides of the mouth in the horseshoe are sometimes referred to as “pipes.” Not to be confused with the “fu manchu” which is grown long from the upper lip only– the sides remain shaven in the fu manchu.”
