Woo you're quite funny...lol...actually I work hard to stay slim but it's not for purposes of attraction...I'm just quite health conscious...I do think people should take care of themselves and if you choose a partner who doesn't then it will cause problems down the road...

 

Like I said, I was friends with the girl, but I just had no romantic interest in her. But you are right Mr. Woo, big girls need love too...just not from me.

 

I shouldn't laugh but ...lol

 

It's about style. Quality gear costs good money, just like quality clothes. Unfashionable people that never get laid seem to think that it is gay to actually spend money on clothes or gear. Whether on a bike or on the street, it's the same ****. Some loser trying to justify why his sorry, cheap outfit is better than expensive designer gear. The problem with that approach is that hot chics (not harley chics) appreciate a sweet gear setup as much as they appreciate a sweet outfit at the club. Good looking peoplesleep withother good looking people and can recognize someone that takes pride in their appearance and someone that doesn't. Don't take it to heart just because they are talking about your bike. They would call you gay for wearing a Hugo Boss suit but we know better than to listen to that nonsense.

Bottom line, if someone came up to you in a nightclub and got on your case about wearing expensive clothes, that would be the same person that would come up and talk **** about gear. Either way, we all know that he either can't afford nice clothes/gear or simply chooses to be unfashionable, both of which leave the duties of handling the hot chics to you. Who in their right mind thinks that it looks better to ride jeans/t-shirt than to ride decked out in some street gear?Get the 2008 Icon catalog and look at the pics of all theriders in full matching street outfits. I'm not talking about trying to look like a racer, but like a rider with some street style. I'm also not pushing Icon stuff, everybody has their own style, theyjust have good marketing pictures and sell the whole outfit -shoes to helmet.

Now, if you only wear a helmet and don't hook up the rest, then it's on you. Now you gotta argue the safety benefits and that conversation never ends because the only thing you have is a helmet. I support wearing a complete street setup. Nothing looks better than that.

 

No helmet and gear-no ride for this guy. I never take the bike out with out gear on. Rideing without gearis like going to work naked to me-you just don't do it.

 

I'll tell you what I wouldn't go without these days...especially for a long ride out somewhere...earplugs!

I used to get bad headaches after a long ride out or just feel very fatigued and muzzy...I use those earsoft plugs...so comfortable, you don't know they are there...

it makes such a difference, I used to put it all down to engine noise etc but tests show the wind roar to be at a suitable decibel level to cause damage...

these things just mute the constant roar and wind pressure, still allowing you to hear...also mutes the bike engine enough to make it feel very smooth and less harsh...anyone who uses these things know what I mean...serioulsy try them on the next long journey...no more headaches or muzzy feeling, I just arrived feeling fresh and relaxed :-)

i get harrased by my friends sometimes about wearing a helmet. They will wear one if we go for long rides, but around town and stuff, they wont wear one... I figure, you could crash at any second, why not be protected EVERY second ya know?!

 

Where's Dizzie he'd be all over those fat chicks...

 

also more likely to be knocked off around town anyway...

 

Well, I'm not one for the quick lay. It just too empty for me. Besides, if someone doesn't want me because of the clothes I wear, than that person is not for me. That is the type of person that will never be happy, no matter what I do, wear or own. Now, if the person sees me as a clean slate to style...more like art, that is a different story. I will not change myself to attract someone who is not for me.

In the old days, life was kind of simple. Where boys would fawn over the most attractive woman in their village or neighborhood. But then what happens? Bimbo Baywatch and glamour magazines. Now all of sudden, the attractive woman in the village seems plain and it appears there are always better options out there. Grass is greener syndrome. Their self esteem is lower. They can never be happy with who they are. Society is destroying the viewpoint of themselves instead of lauding who they are and that who they are is perfection in itself. The rate of anti-depressant use in this country is a good sign of that (note the drawing of a corollary between two unrelated items to back up my argument)

I actually like the message in the Dove commercials:

Damn it...I annoy myself with these rants. MUST STOP. Especially since it really is an utter waste of time and I'm just using it to keep myself from having to work.
