Krazie K posted:I've been on motorcycles for nearly forty years. Some truths as I see them are: Its like all you guys saw the words Harley and Helmet in the same post and started frothing and gibbering. He didn't say anything too far form the CA party line if you actually read it. Wulframn posted:I apologize if it appears that I am attempting to run him off, but his fallacious post is not the kind of diversity that is wanted or welcome. If he is here to be open-minded and learn (which I like to think he is, being a member) then he needs to stop spreading information that we have long since eschewed. you are like if Z3n and Sagebrush mated and had a precocious whiney manbaby echomadman fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Dec 12, 2012 |

And the proper way to reflect that sentiment is "  "?Disagree and voice your opinion, fine. But I'd encourage you to be open-minded as well, and try understand his perspective to view what he says thru that light. There's a lot that can be learned from guys like him provided we don't immediately run them out of the forum. I'd much rather have someone interesting around that I don't agree with. It gives you other perspectives and ways of thinking about something, even if you aren't going to adapt them yourself. And really, I find posts by guys like him way more interesting to read than forum members who toe the CA line and do everything Goon Approved®. He's been riding for 40 years, I think he has something interesting to say. In fact I know he does, he posted it. I only have qualms with a few of them. Especially compared to some of the bottle rocket posters we get in here that get all gung ho about riding, then give it up quickly. Remember Fixed Gear Guy? Went from not riding -> MSF -> Ninja 250 -> Ducati Monster -> training to be a MSF coach -> Sold bike and not riding in the space of a year. He might have had opinions that were "wanted and welcome" but he had little experience to share and now he's gone.

Pope Mobile posted:Women who like cars & bikes are "vapid"? Is it because they have vaginas and don't actually understand bikes like Real MenTM? Why can women not like motorcycles without being dumb hoores? Is my girlfriend vapid because she likes my bike? Way to perpetuate gender stereotypes. If you met her by riding a bike up to your local Denny's, and she immediately ran out and shoved her tits in your face while straddling your gas tank then yes she is. Way to take a clear call out of a walking talking stereotype and think it applies to your girlfriend. This thread has gone meta as hell.

Wulframn posted:Also, I say this knowing that I sometimes don't wear a helmet on my way to the mailbox because - hey! - it's just a quick ride up there and back, why should I? But, I'm also a big boy willing to take responsibility for my choices.) 1. It's okay to do this cause you'll put your helmet on when you're planning to crash, though, right? and 2. ATGATT is as much about creating a no-thought-required habit and being comfortable in the gear as it is safety. If you make a point that every single time you are on your bike you are wearing all your gear, then you don't feel like you're missing any "freedom" by wearing it, because that's just the way it always is when you're on the bike. Make it a ritual that you go through before you even sit down. And that's all the safety nannying I'm gonna do.

This place could use a little more spice. quote:I... have two daddies? But all the kids at school will make fun of me. 2 daddies mean twice the power to reinforce the stereotype that men solve their problems with their fists! (Usually with brofists after a good talk about what it means to have 2 daddies)

LooksLikeABabyRat posted:6' 1", but the bike was $800 running fairly well. It does have a custom seat on it that thankfully nets me a couple of extra inches of leg room. Where do you get such a thing? I have a similar small bike/lanky bastard problem. edit: Also I like this Krazie K dude, the no-knowledge twenty-somethings who've had a bike for 3 months (ie, me) could use another old fella that's been riding for ages, now that goddamnedtwisto doesn't post as much. I find it interesting that the only thing he said that differed from standard CA doctrine was the helmet thing, yet since he put Harley and "loud pipes save lives" in his post all sorts of poo poo got thrown at him that had nothing to do with his post.

The one thing that got to me was the "there's no such thing as Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs" thing and US Constitution conspiracy theory. I have friends who've had unfortunate run-ins with outlaw bikers. They are not nice people, they are not "defenders of freedom" or whatever others nonsense people make up. They're drug-dealing, prostitute-exploiting, murdering criminal scumbags. Their primitive stoneage mentality may have had its place on the Mongol plains of ancient times, but it has absolutely no place in the modern world.

Gay Nudist Dad posted:I get asked pretty often "What do you do when it rains?" The same thing you do when walking - I get wet or put on rain gear. If you can't ride in the rain in Western Washington you can never ride. Yeah, "well, I get wet" "I ride carefully" or "what rain?" Ironically I think I rode in the rain like twice this last year...but I haven't rode in over a month at this point.

I love my helmet mostly because bikes make scary noises and I hear less of them through it. Safety is a nice added bonus though I'll give you guys that one.

Yeh, every time a car flips a piece of gravel at my face and I hear it go CRACK off the plastic I'm thankful that it was my visor, and not my eyes or teeth. Once I hit a flying junebug at sixty miles an hour or so, and it was exactly like being shot with a paintball right in the mask.

I got hit in the head by a bird at 60 mph a few months ago, I would've been knocked out and crashed if I didn't have a helmet on. That being said I do ride around with the chin bar up on my modular helmet sometimes, which is dumb.
