On the way to work this morning I saw a rider in a full textile touring suit (neck to ankles), gauntlet gloves and motorcycle boots. With all that you would think he would bother to put a helmet on, but nope. Nothing on the head at all. Hair was even thinning. Maybe a squid stole his helemt and left the rest of the gear?
Stupid shit like that is sometimes fun. I used to have a custom painted "puddin' bowl" helmet that I wore with full leathers on a ride on my Guzzi. Yeah yeah, stupid but it was fun.
Saw a Harley squid the other night about 10pm; straight pipes, dash speakers blaring, with his ear buds in. No helmet or riding gear.
I get on average one BMW rider a day pulling into my driveway. I have NEVER seen one arrive without a helmet, including my neighbor whose garage is no more than 20 yards from mine. He dons the skid lid to ride his bike over for service. BMW dudes are OK, just a little "organized."
I had a guy pass my house the other day as I was mowing. He was riding a red Ducati, possibly a 998, wearing a T shirt and shorts in the full tuck position, chest on the gas tank, doing every bit of 35 mph. I was like WTF?
......thats classic, or when a sportbiker squid leaves an intersection and waits till midway through 2nd gear to crack it wide for fear of not being able to control the throttle.
Don't forget the high visability vest and the cigar wedged in their puss the moment they get off the bike. I want to be a BMW rider but I'm not quite pretentious enough yet, but I'm working on it.
saw a dude riding a new duc 1098..skater sneakers, ripped jeans, t-shirt to show off both his sleeve tats, but yet was wear a lid.. pulled up next to him to check the out the bike, he starts blipping the throttle like he wanted to race......... i was driving my 05' toyota echo that has a whopping 90 horse power.. fucking idiot felt like yelling out... Firebird West track... pinks? Im not fast... but this would have been a pretty bike in my garage.. lol
