You admire yourself in shop windows when you ride by on the street.

There's no helmet law here, so the squids are plentiful.

Something I notice a lot lately are the sport bike riders who bring their helmets, only they have them hanging off the helmet clip when they ride.

Jackazzes.

The tank tops and sandals is also one of my favorites.

I dropped my bike in the driveway, though, so I guess I can't point the finger too much. :ack:

I noticed alot of riders up the Bike Fest last month, having their helmets strapped to the bike..Im like, whats the point, so people think your responsible atleast some of the time?? :ack: I mean if your sitting in bump n go traffic, maybe thats one thing to take it off, since your not moving awhole lot (which was the case closer to the grounds) but these guys/gals had thiers strapped to the bike going to I-83 at over 100 mph.. :shock:

Im guilty of looking at myself in windows when riding by..some i'll alittle bit of a squid I guess too

This just reminded me of a buddy in highschool that had all the mirrors in his car set so he could look at himself. lmfao

ya, the guys that ride with the helmets floating on their heads is the best. or even better, the helmet strapped to the side of the bike.

Aaron · 08-05-2004, 06:54 PM

have you seen people who ride with the helmet on their arm, lol :smilelol:

Need4Speed · 08-05-2004, 09:45 PM

I dont understand the deal w/ quarter or half shells either to be honest...most sportbikers wear full face, for obvious reasons..but the quarter & half shells will protect the top of your head, but hell, what about the rest :shock: I mean, if you go down, the top of your head is nice n safe, but your face, the sides and back of your head are all mangled up..I just dont understand. I know b/4 the PA helmet law was lifted, it was a rebel act for alot of riders, wearing only the bare minimum to be legal, but now that its lifted, they still wear them alot of the time..why bother..but thats just me.

Yeah, our web guy assembled that from other people's comments. Some are pretty funny. But some I don't understand or agree with....Good laughs!!

Gas Man · 08-06-2004, 04:43 PM

Well, she meant well!!!

Need4Speed · 08-07-2004, 03:51 PM

yeah its all good...she's really trying to learn alot since her MSF course comes up soon, and she doesnt want to go in there not knowing anything so I've been giving her little tips and info so she'll feel more comfortable..and hell, she already knows rule #1..dont put amor-all on the tires..

GSXR1000DJ · 08-08-2004, 09:01 AM

Its good to hear that she NOW knows not to try to make those tires nice and shiney.

Yes, you do know she meant well and loves helping her hubby out with his new toy. Is she going to get a bike as well or ride your old one with you?

she cant even get my 83 yamaha off the kick stand, so needless to say, she'll be looking for something along the lines of an EX500, GS500E, CBR600f2, etc. She "should" be able to handle that.
