I bet the guy who rides this bike smokes outside people's motel rooms!

I believe in my Constitution. I have and will continue to risk my safety to protect it. That said, I also believe that just because someone has the RIGHT to say (or write) anything they want doesnt mean they SHOULD. The words on the bike are un-called-for and they ruin all of the hard work that was done to make it cool. My humble opinion but the only one that counts to me!

Just because he's from Croatia he's not supposed to be able to speak or write any English?

Nearly every night at work I either speak or email to people in India, Singapore, Switzerland and other countries. They all speak and write English.

Sad to say, I'm an illiterate compared to these people since I only know English.

I don't think you have a daughter...I have four. He would be introduced to my tool shed.

I don't like it on car bumpers or bike helmets either.
Free speech, lets not go there, there has to be a line somewhere.
When I see stuff like that on bikes, helmets or bumpers I think, man what an ass that guy is.
As long as I am ranting, another thing I disagree with is some guys ( not mentioning any names ) have big replicas of a nut sack hanging on the rear fender of their bike or the trailer hitch of their truck.
I think that is kinda , well I guess you guys know where I stand on this crap by now.

I agree with you on the rudeness and profanity on t shirts, bumper stickers, hats, cars, etc. There are plenty of words in the dictionary that people don't find offensive, but for some reason too many folks seem to only repeat the same 3-5 boring profanities. Amazing they seem to find the same word to be used as a verb, a noun, an adjective, and a single word sentence.

Took Spanish and German while I was at Tech. That was over 40 years ago. Never used any of the language stuff and forgot it all. FORTRAN was more interesting to me, but nobody speaks that! Go Jackets!!

At least it got everyone stirred up a bit.

It that "fortran" or "foreplay"? ABTW, I hope you win the ACC!

Would it have mattered if it said, "No SEX, No Ride"? It's just 4 letters. C'mon people. Times change. The word you think is "bad" today will be a normal word next year. 100 years ago, NOBODY said "damn". 25 years ago, I was shocked to hear my grandfather say it (once). I watched a popular mainstream TV show the other day and I heard "shit" at least twice. Get over it, guys. Once again, IT'S JUST A WORD.

Not hypocritical much, are we? (Or is it a joke that I didn't get?)

You're right, I don't. We have 3 sons. I was speaking hypothetically.

You hit the nail on the head,,we keep lowering the bar in society. Anything goes now..there are no standards and no reprecussions to ones actions.
To me that sign shows a lack of respect and education,it's crude.
And I wonder how many females ( or males,not sure who he's targeting) he actually gets from it.

Whether you have children and what their sex is, isn't really the point. Having your personality
show in public is.

Do I think that the majority of people think all motorcyclists are the same? Yes.

Does everybody see that stuff at every turn, every day? Yes.

We are so bombarded with curse words, I believe most of us hardly pay attention to them. I find
myself using them without realizing it. This guy has it on his ride, in a photo and that image is
in your mind. It's his, if you have no mind it don't matter, forget about it.

As far as what is acceptable on TV, they have too many former curse words now gone main stream. Too Bad,
I know my 6 y.o. granddaughter hears them from the TV and me, so I am trying to be more alert to it.
But from what I hear from 3-5 y.o.'s at the day care Jg works at, and the 5-12 y.o.'s at the elementary school
Maddy goes to, there is no way she will not curse herself. She was diagnosed with Autism 4 years ago, and
does not understand the differences, and she may never be able to.

It's a shame the FCC didn't think about the disadvantaged children, who don't know any better, are now
hearing those words at a regular rate each and every day. Too Bad.
AND SHAME ON THEM!!

Maybe a little, just trying to make a point. If you don't mind hearing language like the Fbomb from these kids in the streets then more power to you. I guess you have been desensitized like most of the youth and a lot of the adults in our society.
When you hear an "adult" cursing and using "just words" in front of their 3 year olds it is no wonder this country is going down the toilet socially.
Of course they are going to say what their parents say. That is who they learn from.
If you are sensitive, stop reading here Please.
This is directed at Chris who says get over it, it is just a word.
If someone walks up to you and your wife or girlfriend or significant other and says to them, "hey cocksucker, how are you?" Do you look at her and say, don't worry about it honey, it is just a word.

Exactly , and no one calls out a person on their actions so it just keeps on getting worse everyday.
Then when someone does say something, like I did, they are cast as to sensitive, I mean come on it is just a word.
OK this is my last post on the subject.
