Another Reason To Hate France

It's not the French but the club he plays for and the owners that I hate.

 

I'm not into soccer but I've been enjoying the decade+ of heavily-subsidized under-achievements. It seems like every time they fail, they spend more money on the next failure.

 

I'm in Paris right now. They have more motorcycles than we have guns. They ain't goin anywhere

 

You dramatically underestimate how many guns we have.

 

Fixed that for ya.

 

I think those guns that were lost in boating accidents could probably be retrieved very quickly if needed.

 

Rue De Gobelin, in the 6th.

 

Yep, it's bloody hilarious.

 

I'll be the out-lier here. I know three or four Frenchie bikers. All are hard core...much more than me. I don't like to ride in the rain...they could give a shit.....I don't think they even notice.

 

Sylvain?

 

You're not a street rider until you have gone around the Arc de Triomphe in the rain on that cobblestone at rush hour. Talk about a manhood rite of passage.

 

I've been to WSBK at Magny Cours on a rainy weekend and i think there were more bikes than Indy and COTA Motogp combined.

 

I've been to WSBK at Magny Cours on a NON rainy weekend, which was an actual verifed miracle, and the Frenchies treated me great! The campground was full of rabid fans, who saw me wandering around in awe and took me in as an honored guest, filling me up with beer, BBQ, and the secret sauce in the green plastic watering can, RICARD!

 

I don’t think he’s up to their standards. They dress up the fabrications in suppositions, innuendo, and flowery language. They also do plenty of other fun things but I won’t make it political.

This guy’s ass pulls need higher effort. I think The NY Times would rate him 10 for brazenness and motivation, 2 for execution. They might bring him on as a junior though, he shows great promise.

That shit is embarrassing to even read.

I love his delusional rant about loud pipes. Loud pipes do nothing but annoy people and damage your eardrums.

I don’t know about Paris, but in Los Angeles people will have the windows up, AC full blast, and music full blast while they’re texting. They won’t even notice your bike after they left hook you and run you over, let alone hear your pipes.

Your description of the Mayor reminds me of a local lady Congress critter. They’re like crocodiles. Very cunning, but not necessarily bright.

We talk shit because it’s fun, not because we believe it. French motorcycle culture seems absolutely fantastic. They seem to embrace every form of racing and riding without the same poisonous lawsuit culture we have in the US, and they seem to be born with a spirit of FTP.

That guy’s extremely dope, he’s quite the motorcycling renaissance man.

Most of their famous riders are pretty cool. Who doesn’t like Zarco and QBall? Zarco has some of the most massive cojones on the grid. He’s almost to Marquez levels of disregard for his own mortality. His walking away from KTM mid contract and season was nearly fatal to his career, but it also took massive balls and I don’t think many riders would’ve dared to do that.

Ruh roh...

 

He’s wearing a helmet so moto related.

 

It puckered me up to do that in a car, couldn't imagine it on a bike.

I lived an hour from Paris for 6 months in 2015 and the motorcycle crowd was strong. The people overall were nice to us, as long as we let them know we weren't Brits.
