Austin, 1098 rider, Mohawk on helmet.. - Page 2

I'm pretty sure that dude lives within a mile of my place. I see him every so often rolling through the neighborhood, but I only saw the mohawk maybe a week ago. I wanted to veer over into his lane, put my hand out the window, and smack him upside the head.

Takes all kinds, I guess...

Dude has a solid color helmet IIRC... mine isn't solid. Ass.

Kinda reminds me of one of the few other TLR riders I met in Austin back when I had mine.
He rode up to EZ's when we were having our bike night... fairly squidly, except for the oh so stylish silver German army helmet... and announced "WHERE THE PARTY AT?!"

...

Yeah...

It's my understanding that these "Mohawks" you guys are refering to are better known as helmet sweepers. They're handy as frame sliders for those who drop their bike regulary. Do you have any idea of how timely it is to try and pick up all your broken plastic bits after dropping your bike? The helmet sweeper makes quick work of the job and allows you to quickly resume your stand up wheelies and rev limiter bouncing.

I remember that, Greg. Good times.

ya know... that hawk got your attention didn't it? probably grabbed a lot of soccer moms attention too... it may have been played out by all the "hooligans" a couple years ago...

but I've honestly thought of sporting one... I could care less what other bikers think of how I look... (why I sport a safety reflective vest at night and in the rain) but extra visibility is nice.

If they'd let us strap sawed-off shotguns to our bikes, that'd get their attention too.
Unfortunately, that gets the wrong kind of attention.
