So, I head over to Walmart at 8:30 tonight, to pick up a testlight (I'm home from college and all my tools are back in San Diego), and I park my GS out away from all the minivans and beater Cutlass Ciera's.
Get out of Walmart, walk to the bike, 2 cart guys are close-by but don't see me and I hear one of them say, "That 500 is a chick's bike man, no way a dude rides that". I get to the bike and sit my very shiny (it's literally a day old) Duhamel replica (one with the dragons on it) RF1000 on the seat so I can pull my glasses off and slide the helmet on, but the cart guy comes over and picks up the helmet!
Do people have no sense of personal space anymore, or are helmets not thought of something very personal to most people?
He was making convo as he was looking the bike over, talking about how he just sold his '04 CBR600R. Not the F4i, he had one of those back when he was 16, it was a '95. Not an RR, those are only 900's.
Oh yeah, that F4i was a 750cc bike, not the usual 600cc most people associate with that moniker.
He was a winner, through and through. Thought I was cool though for living in San Diego, he was original from Fontucky.
Freakin weirdo's..... My roommates coworkers play with her helmets vents all the time and it really pisses her off. She has explained to the how Arai helmets aren't cheap and how important helmets are but they don't get the point.
At work the other day the guy that drives the machine that sweeps the garage floors told me how he rebuilt a '53 Harley and that he has an '00 GSXR 1100?????? :? :? :? :?
Crap. I fiddle with my coworker's vents all the time. Maybe I should stop that.
Yup, you should, and get an avatar when you don't have your AKG's wrapped around your ears, unless they are horribly cauliflowered...
Aww, but I like my Avatar. It makes me look hip and indie.
The headphones finally died, though.
Edit: Also, they're Realistic Nova 40s. Sometihng like $3 at Goodwill. :)
Shoulda got AKG's.
MODS: can you post this to O/E since it's going off topic more than on-topic plz?
and you didn't shank the bastard for touching your lid?
+1 :x
i prolly would have slapped him for touching my helmet, :thumb: on keepin a cool head
wow, some of you guys and girls are way too touchy. Christ it's just a helmet. It's not like the guy was trying to dribble it like a basketball.
Yeah, that's kida weird. Not because he was touching your helmet per se - what would have bothered me is that a stranger is picking up a 400 dollar item and handeling it without permission.
Doesn't everyone learn when they are children that you don't touch other peoples property without asking?
Exactly +1 :thumb: :thumb:
I would of asked him to put it down........ before I smacked him like a little turd ;)
Another reason selective breeding should be inforced :thumb:
Yea I meet them regularly ...
The recent one was this idiot who I thought was a friend of my neighbors, and at a party he's saying that his stock CBR 900 RR has a 10 gallon gas tank, and he's got a 1052 over bore kit in it, its all chromed (whihc it was frame etc all chromed) and it has nitrous and some far more outrageous crap like out dragging a hayabusa and doing a wheelie at 135 BTW it had a 9 inch stretced swingarm ... yea right ... So I start looking and I could see nothign under the seat or any where and the bike had the air box still on and oh yea it had a pipe ... his reaction to me saying it all stock was ... essentially - you wanna race me ... yea right clown ... with a wife and baby depending on me I am going to race you down a residential street ... moron ... he tried to sell it to my other neighbor for 9 grand and the neighbor that was throwing the party basically threw him out ...
Yea I regulary meet the "If it aint harley it aint sheiete crowd" ... let alone the fact that they cant tell a harley from a hole in the ground ...
Cool.
Srinath.
My boss thought it would be funny to remove my visor and stash it somewhere else...
I just about punched him in the face. :oops:
"DON'T TOUCH MY f%$king HELMET!!!!!!"
A friend of mine decided to be "nice" and hand me my helmet... But, she picked it up by the open visor getting french-fry-finger-prints on the inside... I was less than happy about that.
I'm just a little touchy about it. :oops:
The odd part is that I let people try it on sometimes. :dunno:
A couple years back I had a 1983 Mustang GT T-top. It was primered red oxidde and not real pretty, but she had a few ponies under the hood and at the time she was my baby. I pulled up to get some gas and go in a pay for it. As I am coming out I see this guy trying to raise the hood of my car, I said " excuse me what the hell do you think you are doing?" and his response was "I just wanted to see if it had anything under the hood" and kept trying to find the latch to lift the hood. I planted a solid right heel to his left shoulder and rolled him between the gas pumps. Well he couldn't get up because his pants that were hanging down the back of his ass slid down around his ankles. He was laying on the ground trying to pull his pants back up. funny as hell
lmfao... wish I could have seen that..
Man that woulda pissed me off. I woulda said oh that sucks you sold your bike and now your a cart guy at mother F**in wal-mart, maybee you can make a career of cart pushen and buy another bike some day!
It was funny but the little pecker cut 2 of my tires about a week later. I got him back though......
Don't leave us hanging...whisper it into my ear if you have to! :P
^^^^^
agreed
I was at a different bar a few weeks later and seen said weirdo in the bar and he smiles at me. :? The first thing I think of was my car. My buddy and I walk outside to find that the little turd pulled the nose of his car right up against the back of mine scratching my wonderful red primer. I was pulled into a parking space and he had me blocked in. He thought he had me, I got into my car and seen it was knocked out of gear so I started it up and put it into reverse......slowly let out on the clutch until the bumpers met then I turned all 302 cubic inches loose and then proceed to push the car clear across the parking lot over the curb and into the weeds. Went to a payphone and called the local police and reported some guy flying throught the parking lot and sliding into the weeds backwards. I told him he left the car and went into the bar.
We sat and watched from across the street as a cruiser pulls in the parking lot then they go look at the car, call a wrecker, then go inside and bring the guy and and show him his car, and spin marks, Then he says something to the cop and the cop pointed to the car then the bar and they started yelling at each other.
I wish I would have had some popcorn, watching him hold his ass hanging pants up with his hands cuffed behind his back was priceless.
That RULES!
so what did you do to get him back when you got out of jail? :nana: :nana:
Seems like punching him would be easier...but 10 points for creativity and 9 for execution.
Dave :cheers:
personally i would have taken the helmet from him and bashed it into his head. roooaaarrr.

Ok....we have to take some of the points away then. ;)
:P
I walked out to the school parking lot one Friday and there was someone sitting on my bike... I was still half way across the parking lot when he saw me so he got off and started walking away. I yelled at him and ran over towards the bike cause I thought he might have done something to her. nothing to the bike but I had the helmet locked to the seat and there was a nice scratch along the bottom right of the shield, it doesn't bother me but I'm almost sure it was from him hitting it getting on or off... :x Not to mention the bike was in 4th or 5th when I got on and uncomfortably close to my gym teacher's Shadow.
This is why I got an alarm for my bike...so I know if anyone gets anywhere near him. :guns:
No, I didn't shank him, but I did resolve to buy a pigsticker to carry on me now...
I almost couldn't believe he was dumb enough/careless enough to pick it up. He knew what Shoei's are/saw the damn paint job on it, and he knew how much it was.
I would have hit him in the face with the helmet but A) his buddy was there, B) the helmet shouldn't have to suffer, C) he could have been half-crazy and went nutso on me.
Like somebody said, Walmart worker= my problem.
