Thats what I thought

 

hold on.. let me call you out to a place I know you won't be so I can feel like a tuff guy.


you're stupid

 

I just want to interject in ya'll penis swinging contest with that. I can count on one hand the amount of times I hopped on a bike without my full face...sp yeah, I can empathize with liking the wind on my face from those few times. But it still makes it a bad idea.

 

I'll remind you that your posting something up for a guy that thinks his cool black leather jacket is much better than that worthless plastic gear sport bike guys wear.


done waste your time.. he's to stupid to get it.



dress for the crash, not the ride. if its to hot to wear the right gear. take a car.

 

I wear a similar cool black leather jacket, I'm sure. Its good for preventing road rash - I bet I could slide for forever and a day before it wears through. Really hope I don't fucking hit any curbs, vehicles, or other objects with a density greater than that of my bones, though.

But yeah, some nice approved padding would go a long way. The armor like serious riders wear would be to another level. I have been looking for a more neutral looking leather jacket with the padding, but so far all I've seen have been the hardcore sportbike looking shit.

But my expectations are unrealistic. I'd like to have a stylish leather jacket that breathes okay, is bulletproof, has good padding in it, and is decent to wear out when on the bike.

 

have one made. not to crazy expensive

 

Full face helmets are a must in my opinion, but how many people do you see riding around without a helmet at all or with their full face helmet strapped to the back of the bike instead of on their head? I suppose a half helmet is better than nothing, barely.

As for the e-thuggery, heh, this forum is not exactly known for articulate, delicate, or even intelligent discussions for that matter. Most people that post on here know to expect some flaming along the way, but just don't really care as it keeps things fun and interesting to a certain extent anyway.

Go back and re-read that original post. Now tell me that isn't screaming to be flamed, literally if you consider all caps yelling!

 

Meah...I already called him out..He declined. I'm done.

As for a full face vs. half helemt....Well...Yes, I KNOW that MOST crashes involve hitting the chin area. I also know that MOST of the time, when you crash on a motorcycle, that is the least of your worries. I would be willing to bet that when I was younger, had I jumped onto a GSXR 1000, I would be dead by now. Full face helmet or not. Full gear or not.

I ride for personal enjoyment....Not to be "cool" or show off my bike or any other reason....Just to enjoy myself. So when I dress, I dress for the ride. I wear jeans, steel toed boots, short sleeved shirt, my leather jacket, and my half helmet. If it's chilly out, I might wear my leather gloves also. Ride defensivly and realise that in a crash, the biker always looses. I'm not dressing for a fashion statement....I'm dressing for functionality. It does no good for me to be fatigued by the buffeting of a full face helmet. Especially since when I go out just riding, I may be out for 4 hours or more....Being fatigued is almost as bad as being drunk when riding. Also, the basic positioning on the bike is a factor in the amount of buffeting with a full face helmet. On the sport bikes when you are bent over the tank, you get less buffeting than when you are seated upright on a streetbike. To each their own. I prefer my half helmet.....Especially since I've ridden with both.

 

you're a stupid punk ass bitch you know that?


you come on here, try to stick up for a post you know NOTHING about and end up calling me out to a fight for trying to explain to you why defending him is dumb and why he got flamed. then in the end all you have to say is meh, I called him out and he declined.



god damn...

 

its a sad day in bt.
