I'm going down the freeway the other day, and a couple on a Goldwing are coming the opposite direction. They're all decked out in their stupid-ass Frog Togs, blabbing away at each other with their stupid-ass helmety microphone head set units, headlight modulator blinking like crazy. These people are like 200 feet away, but there they were, waving their chubby little arms off.

They looked like the Village People got stuck in a Hefty Bag. WTF is that?

Stop it.

I HATE those headlight modulators. What are they thinking?? If you're so completely and totally petrified of riding a motorcycle, get off of the fucking thing.

I saw a guy this summer who had flashers going on his bike. Like hazard lights, but he had them on as he was going down the highway.

Friggen' just take the car !!!

I see people wearing the brightly colored safety vest and wonder about that too. Does the military require that now ?

I'd hate to have to wear that too.

Doesn't the military now have a step system for riders? Making them start small?

I thought they also required the vests

I see a boat-load of them being warn when I'm near fayette-nam

I wave like a special olympic torch boy.

I get it from all kinds of bikes (and none from all kinds of bikes). I noticed lately less and less waves as the number of motorcycles seem to increase. And in Atlanta itself you rarely get a wave because you are surrounded by bikes and scooters anyways.

I did have a guy today on a Harley full dresser pull up next to me (and I think split traffic) to say hey. It felt kind of awkward so I ignored him.

That would be my husband. He is a member here (wideopen1) but doesn't get on very often (if at all).
