1BigDog Posted June 12, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 12, 2010 Maybe its just me but in the past few weeks I have noticed 5 riders, 3 on wings and 2 on harleys with one thing in common: all were wearing flip-flop beach sandals while riding. Are they nuts? One hard stop where you have to put your foot down will rip that piece of rubber right off your foot with your foot possibly added in to that equation. I mean, c'mon...what are you thinking?? And these were not kids..older riders who should know better. Oh yea, the HD riders also had no helmets on. Sigh.........

CaptainJoe Posted June 12, 2010 Share #3 Posted June 12, 2010 My Dad always said "Experience is the best teacher":confused24: Some want to take on more risk. As it's still (I think) a free society, I say let them. It'll all work out in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is better to keep your mouth shut, and let people think your a fool, Rather than opening it, and removing all doubt. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingy Posted June 12, 2010 Share #17 Posted June 12, 2010 Hey Boomer, this ones for you. "Well," snarled the tough old Navy Chief to the bewildered Seaman. "I suppose after you get discharged from the Navy, you'll just be waiting for me to die so you can come and piss on my grave." "Not me, Chief!" the Seaman replied. "Once I get out of the Navy, I'm never going to stand in line again!" Semper Fi... Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted June 12, 2010 Share #20 Posted June 12, 2010 The most interesting idiots I've seen so far this year were two young bucks on crotch rockets running about 75 in a 45 zone. Blew past me dressed in the standard safety plaid shorts, wife beaters, tenny shoes and helmets worth far more than the gray matter they were attempting to protect. A Wally World bike helmet would have been more than needed for these two. Their trick was drag both feet on the street surface while running at that speed. They were looking at each others shoes at each traffic light and laughing about it. I was waiting for a sole to rip off. I was curious as to how far one could stay on a moving bike while missing part of a foot. Some people say I'm a bit judgemental as I see no problem with whacking idiots up the back of the head with a nice piece of hickory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickardracing Posted June 13, 2010 Share #25 Posted June 13, 2010 My wife and I where on our way to dinner. We saw a guy with his girl on the back. She was wearing shorts and tank top. The kicker? She was texting with her left hand and holding a small dog in her right . Yup, you read it right. For being the highest species on the food chain...........poeple are just plain dumb.
