Some guy screamed "gently caress you, I'm going to kill you". And I started screaming "gently caress me, big boy, gently caress me", complete with hip thrusting. He didn't gently caress me. :sigh:

Sorry, bro. Maybe next time?

I really don't know. I don't think he was mad, and it wasn't like I interacted with him in traffic at all. I didn't give him any gestures or anything. I was just sort of present. Maybe he was trying to say how much he liked my sw8 green bike.

You cut him up, from behind.


Which is to say, he nearly hit you because he didn't notice you, and then he did notice you and it gave him a scare. You made him feel bad, so you're a bad person, so now you get yelled at.

lovely trash company that makes "full face" helmets that are basically a 3/4 with a worthless chin bar producing a shameless copy of the Simpson Bandit.

Yeah, I've wondered this about the Gringo - does it meet DOT as a full-face or as a 3/4 (that just happens to have a decorative chin bar)? Handling them in person does not give me confidence. I wonder the same about the Bell Bullitt but at least they're a trusted brand.

I want a company to put the awesome simple, retro, colorful graphics Biltwell and Bell put on their throwback helmets on a fully modern helmet with, like, vents and a movable visor.

Skid lids can be DOT/Snell approved. I used to think the same thing but I've found that I've gravitated towards solid white helmets.

It's important to me that I look as much like a European motorcycle cop as possible, which is why I rock a solid white helmet, hi-viz jacket and black pants.

I just can't with hi-vis. I'm not going out of my way to be hard to see, but I just can't do the rear end-yellow or rear end-green.

If they'd come out with more blazing orange, though, I'd be into it.

I was walking back from the shops yesterday, waiting to cross the road and looking at a guy in complete highvis (loving everything, helmet jacket gloves pants backpack) sitting on his bandit in traffic, who seemingly was getting [i[very[/i] pissed off at the static bmw infront of him, revving his engine and doing the usual hand motions. Because, bmw? Like for the entire time i was waiting for the light on my side of the road the bmw hadn't done anything glaring.

What made it all funny for me though was that road is wide enough that you could filter a loving goldwing down the center, but he didn't.

As a woman I just wear mens gear. The stuff out there for women is mostly horrible (especially if you're fairly tall and weigh more than 100lbs) and I'm not a fan of pink. Other than not tapering in at the waist and being a bit tight in the chest, I got a jacket that fit fairly snug and it works just fine and doesn't look ridiculous.

Would that I could. I got the double whammy of being a small woman, so even the smallest men's gear isn't small enough. I wish I was like 6 fuckin feet tall

Aww, you know I love ya baby!

It's actually not so hard for me. I'm pretty tall, so I wear men's gear. I just wish that "high-vis" wasn't always yellow. I've seen some badass orange helmets, but most gear (excepting helmets) is either green/yellow hi-vis, or not. I'm not playing Fashion Rancher or anything, but I just can't do the green/yellow stuff.

Keket's story reminds me of when I'd just bought my bike and my husband and I were at the gear store.

A dude walked in in full ATGATT, everything as hi-vis as possible. He had that weird, manic air to him. Very much Beavis.

We were looking for gloves or something, and he was wandering around looking at stuff. Every so often he'd find an item with high-vis and yell, "YEAH! WOO! HIGH-VIS!" Also, "CAN'T HAVE TOO MUCH HIGH-VIS!"

As we walked up to the counter to pay, he sees what we have and says, "NEEDS MORE HIGH-VIS!"

I hear you the green/yellow hi-viz, I find it hideous and so I also don't wear it. As a compromise I've gotten some lime green gear for my helmet and gloves since my bike is blue and I'm a Seahawks fan so it works. It would be great if they would come out with some reflective gear in other colors.
