[Jane Honda]

I heard it was a boogie board.. Everyone knows he has no boogie :yes:

[MEP1000]

I think everyone should go naked!!

I can name a few that have no business being naked... :yell: But I won't embarrass anyone :wow8:

[Kadbugg]

I won't mind!

[MEP1000]

I won't mind!


:ohthedrama: I would start by saying anything :squid:

[Kadbugg]

How did we get on the topic of gear anyways? Isn't that an old conversation that nobody wins?

[MEP1000]

Yes it is. However Niceguy is just stating his opion so next year its not an issue.. Guys were complaining because he sent a guy home on a group ride because he had little to no gear on.... This way everyone knows where he stands.. I tend to agree.. If you don't want to wear gear then get away from my group ride..

[Kadbugg]

I remember that! So does that mean I can't go naked if I ride in your group ride?

[MEP1000]

You must atleast have a thong and a helmet on... The rest is optional :yes:

[Kadbugg]

Great! That's a perfect outfit right there! I will remember that...maybe that'll even be my Halloween costume.

[v8zman]

uh thats my outifit,if u wear it i will kick your ass

[kneedragger26]

I think everyone should go naked!!

....ok.....well, maybe not everyone.....

[Nicegy525]

I remember that! So does that mean I can't go naked if I ride in your group ride?

For you, I would make an exception... :yes: but only if you will lead the ride and let me mount my camera... :drool: :eek:

on a serious note, I am not the gear nazi some people made me out to be. Just if youre going on a spirited ride, dont show up in a t-shirt! :moped:

+1 on both statements

i personally think if u gonna be on spirited ride dont be in jeans either but thats just me,icon jeans are ok for cruising in too,better than nothin

[Kadbugg]

You can try, but you'd have to catch me first!!

[G-R1fun]

You must atleast have a thong and a helmet on... The rest is optional :yes:

Don't forget the pasties. Don't want to get a bee sting on the nipples. But if you do I'll be there to suck out that poison.:thumbup: :lol: :lol:

[Kadbugg]

Can't forget the pasties!! Integral part of the gear!

[Jane Honda]

as long as they're Kevlar jockstraps and pasties :laughing:

[MEP1000]

Don't forget the pasties. Don't want to get a bee sting on the nipples. But if you do I'll be there to suck out that poison.:thumbup: :lol: :lol:

[Nicegy525]

[MEP1000]

I didn't say I would let them do it. I got your back Dave :shooting:

[Rev. Fatty Bulger]

I try to wear my gear except when I'm not wearing it.

[Need-4-Speed]

:wow8: :wtf: :eek: :crazy:

[Kadbugg]

I'll stick with the pasties...especially since they match my bike.

[Nicegy525]

I like pastries!!!

[kneedragger26]

I like pastries!!!


.......pasties, not pastries!

you need to lay off the muffin-s man.

[Nicegy525]

i like those too! but not on you, just hot chicks...

[Rev. Fatty Bulger]

I'll stick with the pasties...especially since they match my bike.

Are they Kevlar?

[Kadbugg]

Of course!

[Monkey Nutts]

Besides, they have to provide some protection from the teeth, errrrr... road rash.:drool:

[lotsamtbottls]

Besides, they have to provide some protection from the teeth, errrrr... road rash.:drool:
same thing really... they both leave a nasty mark afterwards :thumbup:

[Kadbugg]

Yeah...but one's a little funner than the other!

[Monkey Nutts]

marks..... no, remember to leave no evidence but a devious grin.:bowtie-guy:

[MEP1000]

marks..... no, remember to leave no evidence but a devious grin.:bowtie-guy:


:bow: :bow: You know it

[lotsamtbottls]

marks..... no, remember to leave no evidence but a devious grin.:bowtie-guy:
how many times have i heard that... "there better not be a mark!" haha :laughing:

[Monkey Nutts]

Isn't the **** eating grin or the ear to ear smile a mark of its own???:D

[lotsamtbottls]

its not a mark unless people can figure out why you're wearing the ear-to-ear grin... havent you heard the saying "smile, it confuses people"? :smilewink:

[Monkey Nutts]

So true! Unless you always look confussed like I do. Then your just SOL. :rolleyes:

[lotsamtbottls]

well, at least you can admit it :p

[pigwings]

I remember that! So does that mean I can't go naked if I ride in your group ride?

If you wear kneepads, they'll probably let you ride.

[Nicegy525]

so we're getting closer to this naked riding thing...

[v8zman]

why u think i like furry seats

[Nicegy525]

i have a hairy butt so I dont need fur seats

[v8zman]

shave it,then find a furry seat,its a great feeling

[Need-4-Speed]

shave it,then find a furry seat,its a great feeling
That's just wrong in so many ways....lol

[MEP1000]

That's just wrong in so many ways....lol


I'm afraid I have to agree with you on this one

[Jane Honda]

Jane knows a thing or two about wax hair removal...she might be able to give you some pointers. :thumbup: :laughing:

[v8zman]

[Nicegy525]

[R1RAMJET]

Screw your opinion Niceguy , Ride naked !

[Nicegy525]

you know ive always wanted to look like you!

[Jane Honda]

I support an individules choice to do with their own body whatever they want as long as it doesnt physically effect me. I would SUGGEST that everyone wear proper gear when doing what we do though. Most of you have families to make it home to. I for one like the idea of having less pain if I DID crash with gear on than I would otherwise in a pair of shorts and flipflops. But hey, thats just common sense...some of us seem to lack the gene that produces this. :laughing:

[Nicegy525]

strap it on or go home!

[DrDuc]

For you, I would make an exception... :yes: but only if you will lead the ride and let me mount my camera... :drool: :eek:


This is off topic, but I have to ask: Do you have a "special" relationship with your camera?

On a serious note, I'm a huge supporter of an individual's autonomy or freedom to chose what s/he does with his/her life. However, when it comes to whether or not someone wears gear when riding motorcycles, it quickly becomes a very complex issue.

While it might not "physically" affect me when someone else crashes, it can very quickly affect all of us, financially, legally, and in a host of other ways.

Riders who say it's their body and their right to choose because it doesn't affect anyone else are simply wrong unless they are able to pay all of their health care expenses out of pocket and never file an insurance claim and they fall on a closed course somewhere so that they don't have to file an accident report. Otherwise, their crash can and will affect all of us who ride because we are all part of the insurance pool that pays for each others' mistakes. Those who don't have enough private insurance coverage soon end up on government assistance. Those who sustain head injuries because they refused to wear a real helmet (read: full face certified to the latest standards) are almost guaranteed to end up receiving government assistance and costing everyone who pays taxes more money.

I don't have time to fully articulate all of the issues involved with this so, suffice it to say that I am of the opinion that you need to buy and wear the best gear that you can afford. I survived tumbling 280 feet down the road after crashing at something between 100 and 120 mph because I was wearing really good gear. Wear your gear.

I completely support anyone who excludes someone from a group ride because the person isn't wearing proper gear. Remember, jeans completely wear through in 1/10th of one second (which is also the same amount of time that a front tire can skid before the rider has to let off the brake or the front wheel tucks). After the jeans burn through, your skin goes away next, then bone... On your knee, you can be into bone in less than 1/2 a second.

That wasn't me that originally wrote that. That was someone that I merged accounts with when I became sole owner of this site.

From my past experience almost 2 years ago, I am a full and stout supporter of being fully geared up, even just to go to the mail box. I never want to ever experience that pain and the possibility of losing digits or possibly my life again...

[Flyte Risk]

... fully geared up, even just to go to the mail box. ...

Thats my line. Swiper,NO SWIPING! :moon:

[Jane Honda]

Thats my line. Swiper,NO SWIPING! :moon:


At least you did get a swipe here and there... Don't complain. :haha:

[Flyte Risk]

No, I don't believe I've ever had a swipe with you.

[Jane Honda]

Make sure you wash your hands after you swipe.

[Xflyer]

Wow... seems I missed a bunch while I was absent... :eek2:

[Jane Honda]

Wow... seems I missed a bunch while I was absent... :eek2:


Yeah, but now your back... :rad::hug:

[Xflyer]

Ahh, thanks JH. Right back at ya...:hug:

[Alcorn69]

Did I mention that I still eat my boogers? Baystr,MasterE,and JaneHonda got me back into it:hug:

[MA$TER_E]

See! We're a good influence already :yes:

[Alcorn69]

Still eatin my boogs!

[Ironhead]

Make sure you wash your hands after you swipe.
