Title: Hard times befall HD rider...
Post by: theUBS on July 21, 2008, 11:36:17 AM
Saw this on the way home from lunch and found it just a tad humorous.   :dunno_white: 
Snapped a picture with the cell phone.  What do you guys think?  :laugh:

He's got the bandana, the goggles, the flowing beard, the Earnhardt t-shirt, the wallet chain, and the highly noticeable lack of any protective gear.
Too bad somebody must have stolen his V-twin.

yessir.  I'll take another picture of my cracked passenger side rearview mirror to prove it if you'd like. :icon_mrgreen:
I can be pretty stealthy.  I got this shot of Joe Dirt at the local cafe. :laugh:

He wasn't moving.  We were sitting a couple of cars back at a traffic light.  I'm guessing the white is a cloud in the sky, since we were sitting in my Honda with me holding my cell phone inconspicuously low and actually below the level of his mirrors.  Trust me, the picture is totally legit.  :thumb:

Yama, legit.  I promise.   :thumb:

PS--I have nothing against HD guys in general. This chap just looked like the stereotypical oldschool HD rider, and I found it humorous that he was rockin' what would seem to be a small Chinese made scooter.

I've been seeing that guy around town since I got out of HS in '94.  Never once changed his hair--blond flat-top mullet.  His wife/girlfriend is actually pretty good looking too.  I wonder if she likes it that way? :dunno_white:  Not sure if you've ever seen Joe Dirt, but coincidentally, this man also works as a janitor at the local college.

I apologize for being quick to be on the defensive.  As for what was in his mirror, I was just offering a suggestion.  I honestly don't know.  Maybe part of a truck behind him or something.  :dunno_white: Can't really see much of that lane in my mirror.

Still shot while sitting in traffic.  Motorola KRZR--not a bad phone, but motion pics are indeed pretty crappy.  It might have come out a bit clearer, but my buddy refused (afraid?  :icon_rolleyes:) to take the shot for me, so I had to do it from the driver side and use the digital zoom.
