Jackets aren't cool
 

LOL, I really don't feel bad for this guy.

Where are the rest of the pix?

dont know, i am not searching through all of last week to find them. This one is on the front page.

Oh, I feel bad for him... I just don't feel like he has a lot of room to whine about his road rash. :whistle:
Hopefully that was the worst of what he did to himself.

The debridement of those wounds ain't gonna be fun

ouch

looks like he is going to dislocate his shoulder!

btw, nice "happy birthday trip" sign pic in the highlights.

Surprised he is wearing a real helmet.

Safety first.

JC

Is that cash hanging out of his belt???

Nope, but you can see his cellphone bouncing in the lower left corner....mebe his GF was sexting him and he lost all control.........

LOL, and it looks like the screen came off. Probably a Droid.

Wow, Trip, real nice. Asshole. What if Gas and I had gone down while we were down there? We weren't wearing much more than that.

I feel bad whenever anyone goes down. 2 reasons 1) ouch 2) the bike is gotta be fixed ouch again

yeah sure he could have saved himself some serious pain and misery wearing a jacket but on cruisers things just dont feel comfortable unless your goin 80. Granted he wouldn't have to take a trip to the ER to remove about a pound of Tennessee asphault. I know you sport bike guys say, "dress for the fall, not the ride." but damn,........oh well.....I see the validity of your point but......ahh I got nothin

I have a fully perforated leather jacket to wear when I ride my cruiser and when I cruise at more than 30mph it's very comfortable on 90 degree days. No excuses for not wearing a jacket other than "Image". You HD guys gotta shit can that philosophy.

:lol:

not really a philosophy, just the way I have always ridden and the way my Pops always rode too. I don't know, perhaps I should get a nice rocket or icon mesh jacket to wear. but they cost money's that I could be spending as mods on the bike. :dvrofl:

Ouch. Awesome picture but it sure sucks for him.

Sorry, I would laugh at your rash too. Wear gear if you don't like it.

Don't worry, I am equal about this type of shit. If I go down being a hooligan, you have my permission to blast me all you want for riding like a freakin idiot. I fully expect anyone to do it to me too.

This is why I don't contribute or care for MOST wreck benefits for motorcyclists. If you are riding a motorcycle like this in a fashion that's going to get you killed (no gear or riding like a tard), you better damn well have insurance and other backup plans in place to be able to support yourself and your family. If you don't have these things, why the fuck are you doing this in the first place. People shouldn't take care of you, they should mock your ass. Half of these "Let's raise money for so-and-so cause of his crash" bullshit should be made fun of and no one should give money. These people were toolbags and deserve the mess they have gotten themselves in.

I did say most, if you are run over by a drunk driver or something like that, yeah I fully support helping out riders who were hurt due to no fault of their own.

poty

My meshie is cooler than a t-shirt on the hottest days... it blocks the sun and allows air through... all around win. Plus, I got it on closeout for like $50... about what it costs to fill the gas tank in my truck.

Money is an excuse... and not a very good one. You have a $20,000 bike, but can't buy a $300 jacket?

I've been known to rock full leathers in 90º+ heat... Camelbak full of ice cubes FTW... and next time I'm gonna try OTB's water soaked sweatshirt idea... that sounds like a winner.

I'm a gray, fat and fairly ugly kinda guy; if I was dressing for comfort or image I'd be doin' the robe and bag routine; robe for comfort, bag over my head to maintain my "image".

I have a JR mesh suit with armor for the really hot. disgusting days with my wet sweatshirt underneath.

For the rest of the time I have a zip together two piece.

None of my gear is new 'cept helmet. Most of it is 10+ yrs old. I just take care of it.

Nobody says ya gotta go drop three grand today on gear: I bought my suit (A*)second hand on CL for $175....

I just don't ride without jacket, gloves, helmet, boots 'round town, full suit any other time.

But it's a PERSONAL CHOICE.

I know what works, I know my odds of roadrash are better on a bike than in a humvee. If I CHOOSE not to wear gear; well; foo on me. I guess the boys at the shop are gonna laugh at my debradement stories and call me dipsh*t 'cause I know better.

'Cause we ALL know better...

I don't think I will laugh at anyone that crashes. Kinda fucked up.

I guess anyone that does'nt ride motorcycles shouldn't feel bad or should laugh at any rider that gets hurt or killed cause they got on a bike to begin with and they're dangerous?

I almost always have at least a jacket, gloves, helmet and boots on but i have been known to take a ride to run errands with out a jacket. Would it be on me if I got hurt? yes. But I would sure hope people wouldn't look at it like I deserved to get hurt. Sad.

It's only funny once you realize they aren't seriously injured... then it's HILARIOUS.

There is a woman at work that has asked me repeatedly over a period of years, "Ain't you hot in that?" when she sees me in my leathers. Her husband rides a Harley. I decided the next time she asks I am going to ask, "Ain't you tired of asking me the same question over and over and over??"

What I really want to say is... Even with my leathers on I am cooler than you since you're carrying around an extra 100+ pounds!!! Ain't you hot in THAT???

I get asked ALL THE TIME...."aren't you hot in all that gear?!"

I always answer, "Yeah....I am...but sweating doesn't hurt. Road rash does."

:lol Can you take a pic of her reaction?

Troof.
We have plenty of laughs at my expense from May when I went down.

yeah I wouldn't laugh at someone that's fucked themselves up pretty good unless they did something completely douchebag to do it. Like the fucker that went 150mph into the taco bell and made meat out of himself, yeah he deserved that and I could make taco bell ground beef jokes. This dude isn't going to hurt much besides his skin.

Show her that picture.

Sweat you can wipe off, skin grafts are a bit more permenant ;)

Ya because keeping up with the cycle of bad habits is the best thing, right?

Did you dad get drunk and beat you too? Cause that's worth passing on to the grand kids!

You guys are fags! Don't you know chicks dig scars! He'll have it on his forearm... he'll be fine.

But that is a wierd crash... I wonder what he did.

Isn't it obvious? He 'had to lay it down' :lol:

Actually, that looks like the tail end of a high side.

i don't know what all the fuss is about. you all know he wasn't going more than 15 mph through that turn.












:sorry:

:lmao: exactly

:lol

According to the definition of the word fag, you are the fag. Sorry, South Park has redefined the word.

Let me rephrase this where it's in your native language.

Brah bra brah. Brah brah brah brah bra bruh brah. Brah bra brah. BRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I looked all over for additional photos of that crash....couldn't find them. I was curious about what brought the crash about too.

How in the world would he manage a high side when he wasn't even to the apex of the corner yet? Assuming I'm interpreting the photo correctly. I would have thought he was still breaking or maybe throttle neutral at that point.

In any event....the judge in Kansas gives him a 7.4 for his dismount. Though his faceplant was nearly perfect, I marked him down for not holding a complete pike position all the way through the landing. :lol:

Tubby grabbed a handful of front brake mid corner. Panic braked.

oh he was "breaking" alright...

Oh yeah... well

brah br bra brah brah brah bra br brah

FUCK YOU, JACKASS:gofurslf:

lol....

I don't get how anyone could enjoy the "T-shirt as drag chute" on the highway.

That picture set is great. You can see exactly where the guy had his oh shit moment and went for the front brake.

Actually, looking at the pictures you're probably about right!
