What's wrong in this picture??

recumbentbob · 05-11-2012, 01:42 PM

Full Leathers on a drag bike rider and then "tennis shoes".
Doesn't make sense......

That may be Dmyers one of our members here in that pic.

You asked, "what's wrong with this picture", then gave me the answer - I wish you were every teacher I had in school!

Sheit!! That's nothing
I have been known to wear t shirts and shorts when i ride, cross the street when the lights red, open my umbrella in the house, text on my phone while walking, I AM ONE WILD AND CRAZY GUY !!!

You really ARE crazy if you text while walking - Future organ donor!

Texting and walking can be deadly!

Too bad you can't ask the girl that walked into a moving streetcar in Toronto.

**cnc** · 05-11-2012, 08:03 PM

The other day I came along in the car and here was this girl walking down the middle of the street toward me texting. I stopped about 40 feet from her and waited, she kept coming with no clue I was there, at 20 feet I beeped the horn, and dam me if she didn't turn around to look behind her for a car still walking. She turned back saw me and jumped then gave me a sort of yeah what ever wave and moved over to the side slowly. I don't think she she missed a beat and carried on texting.
Now if she had been coming at me on a drag bike in running shoes, she probably would have been looking where she was going and had better odds of surviving.

I'm surprised nobody commented on "heavy guy, loose leather, race bike"

**markclark57** · 05-12-2012, 06:53 PM

N-I-C-E ? ? ? Let me "Google" that and get back to you . . .

Never mind the running shoes, the guys "Safety Suit" doesn't fit AND appears to have previous damage (left sleeve) not to mention his weight.

Drag races are often decided by .001 seconds and are ALWAYS dangerous. Extra weight and less safety ? ? ? The question should have been, "What's not wrong with this picture?" Would have been an easier answer. (i.e. He has a good helmet)

I don't see the point in taking a picture from a members album,
then posting it in a thread and making comments like some have made here.

I'm with Dave on this, show some respect guys.

**glwilson** · 05-12-2012, 09:59 PM

I agree with Budman... not exactly in good taste or character to take a pic from a guy's album from here and then post these comments.

ToeJam · 05-12-2012, 11:35 PM

Well, that's a little uncomfortable.

mobandy78 · 05-14-2012, 11:58 AM

Chirp, chirp, chirp... akward silence...

**glwilson** · 05-14-2012, 08:47 PM

Awkward is an understatement...

You would think those making it most awkward would speak-up and apologize... instead they just hide.

When thinking about the comments... I wonder if any of them have ever even been near a drag-bike... let alone ridden one.

Arm-chair quarterbacks I guess....
