Welcome to Squidville!

Here's some squid on a bike:

 

Squid in upper case 72 font bright red.

 

I would guess this is the look of a squid out of water.

Gotta love the ripped abs...

 

What a way to impress the ladies

 

Poor Scooter is suffering!

 

^^Isn't that how you get 20mpg out of your normal 70 mpg scooter?

 

God I wonder if it's the same guy But I swear I saw this guy down in MD... He had to be 400-500 lbs and the scooter was fully compressed front and back watching him hit a few bumps was scary.... I thought the scottermight compres inside his rectum....

 

Dude has one of those fancy new airbag suits on. Shame he's not wearing his helmet as well.

-or-

When you are that big, you can power the scooter from the methane

-or-

What works harder, the brakes or the clutch?

-or-

I the bike is able to move, the b!tch fell off.

-or-

The suspension feels soft.

- or -

What's the point of the mirrors? he's only gonna see what's in his front pockets.

 

Remember folks: dress for the wreck, not for the rectum.

 

I actually flew a guy like that who was drunk riding a moped on a dirt trail and rode it off a small cliff. (had to leave the paramedic behind due to weight issues)
We never saw the moped. My pilot made a point of telling the trauma doc to look for it in the patient's rear. The trauma room was quiet for a second---
before the laughter broke out.

 

oh my god of all the times not to have a camera. I rode to the parents house on Cape Cod last weekend and just over the Bourne Bridge there is an Ihop. Now, I am on the VFR, in leathers, dressed for anything. I passed the single largest group of T-shirt and flip flop wearing calamari the world has ever seen in that Ihop parking lot. They heard the LV pipes and they all turned, I just looked in amazement. The sea of chromed out GIXXERs and R6's was neverending. I only looked for a few seconds, but I did not see a SINGLE jacket on any of the guys, and alllllll the girls were in full riding gear (aka hotpants/wifebeater/flipflops. Its too bad, some of em were cute, I coulda stopped and said, hey, any of you ladies wanna ride with a guy who is going to live to see his next birthday?

I saw them and immediately thought of this thread. My bad for not having a camera!

 

The fact that you saw them in the IHOP parking lot speaks volumes

 

Hey, I like a little IHOP and Waffle House myself, but in DE the clientele vigouriously sands the back of their necks with 80 grit sand paper every morning.

I'm a little 'neck' myself, but I only use 220.

Wow, the link you sent let me find
http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/810834.PDF

page 6 is amazing to learn...so many drunk riders.
2.5x as many as drivers
24% of bike fatalities did NOT have a licence
27% where speeding
intresting watch for turning cars. 78% the bike t-boned the car.
49% of deaths had licence violations...(mind you i think 80% of ppl have at least some violation)
35% of driver fault was cars failing to yeild....again watch turing cars.

amazing stuff to read.

PS
6% last action was steering to avoid..3x more effective than breaking. still discresion but intresting to note and wounder how it relates to experiance.
