Ghost rider bagger

I think everyone is overlooking something here
THIS GUY AINT FROM KANSAS
He is from Croatia, different country,language and customs
I would bet most people there don't even know what the sign say's
anymore than we would know if it was in his language
He doesn't have a firm grasp of the English language either. so he may not even realize how offensive the sign is to some people. it may have simply gotten lost in translation. ( ever get directions translated from Chinese to English). in his country saying that word may have no more meaning than saying shit or dam or some other off color words here. I wonder what would happen if you translated some of our off color slogans into his language, like mustache rides 5 cents or I had a Bush Beer shirt that said "to hell with the mountains give me your bush" I bet if someone wasn't careful it could get a little graffic in translation.
The guy just wanted to say hello and show us his bike. There was nothing wrong in pointing out the sign was offensive to some people. It should have stopped right there though.
From there it was all down hill to the point some members were making offensive and just mean remarks about his personals values and language skills.
You treat somebody like this in person. You better be willing to back it up

I still stand by my first post, it was a while ago so in case you guys forgot here it is.
The third pic is pretty damn stupid.
Shit like that is what makes people think all motorcyclists are assholes.
If I had to back up my actions to this guy I would.
Well, as long as he was a little old man and weighed 80 pounds and didn't have a weapon.
