Re: Rice Rockets

It never ceased to amaze me when my buds and I would go riding and one guy always left his helmet behind because it "would mess up his hair".

I always thought that if he ever dropped his bike he was gonna get to see how bad his hair could _really_ get messed up.

p.s.... My helmet saved me from a broken jaw and probably a concussion once. And my hair was a lot less messed up than it would have been if I had left half of my scalp on that highway.

Re: Rice Rockets

Sir, I apologize and stand corrected. My reference was to the squids, not the scoots, or to other sensible riders. I've riden for 30 plus years (geezuz that's spooky to see in print) both street and competition, Harley and Jap. And heck, for the price and availability, if I were buying now I'd more than seriously consider a rice grinder V-twin over the now fashion statement HD. I guess it just seems the squids are more noticable since they gravitate to the lay on the tank, road racing style high revving rice rockets. But then again, when I'm on the boat I see the same thing on the rivers with the JetSki's. Not everyone mind you, but there is a squid gravitation to the same style high revving water scoot.

Re: Rice Rockets

My opinion of these hooligans can not be stated here on this board. These (censored) (censored) are the main reason the general public sees sportbikes the way they do. They go around raising all kinda (censored) and filming it to sell in video to other (censored) (censored). The same (censored) thing is happening with snowmobiles.

Re: Rice Rockets

only one (minor) disagreement and that's on the safety comment. I drive a wannabe sport bike (well, it sure handles like one) an '02 GL1800A .... and I'd say that the ABS brakes sure add to the braking powr.
I will admit that I don't always wear leather pants (not for going to work, not short trips for shopping and such) ... but anything longer than 1/2 hour usually means the open road and leather pants or chaps. The leather jacket is always on as is the helmet ...
