yesterday i was at the dmv, and i saw two r6s pull up, i was ok. until i noticed that there were both wearing shorts and a t-shirt, but there were wearing helmets. i watched for a second or two then i noticed somthing else, they were getting there licenses, they barely looked old enough to drive!!!! :o if thats not a accident waiting to happen, i dont know what is. i was in the rich part of town, so i guess mom and dad bought it for them.
Yeah, I always get a kick out of those guys. Riders like that are about a dime a dozen here in NY. I just don't know how to "Bling".
I guess being totally unsafe is cool. I'm gonna start riding with a krispy Kreme paper hat instead of a helmet. Then we'll see who's cooler...
Maybe you could convince them to wear THESE (http://www.kneedraggers.com/index.php?partno=33-ICON-1)
Gold-plated goodness! BLING, BABY... BLING!!!![/size]
heehhehe lol
once you put on those gloves, you'll be riding so slow because the last thing you want to do is fall of your bike and damage the glvoes :lol:
Actually, I really like the floating plates on those Icons. Some race gloves feel really stiff, because the stiff armor (which doesn't want to bend) covers the knuckles (which need to bend). Also, I like the heat-resistant inner layer and tougher palm leather (Joe Rocket mesh street gloves have wimpy palms).
But I'd spray-paint them black! I'd like a comfortable waterproof armored gauntleted glove that just looks like a boring black glove.
Bicycling gloves often have terrycloth panels on the backs to wipe away sweat. If I briefly forgot which two-wheeler I was on while wearing those gloves, I could put my eye out. No thanks! :cheers:
those armored gloves COULD be used to b#$%H slap the driver of the car that cuts you off :roll: :o
Uh, you mean Jap slap don't you? A Buddha Loves You slap is with the open palm, and a Jap slap is a backhand (a dope slap is an overhand straight on the forehead).
Another potentially cool feature would be blinking LEDs on the backside of the middle finger. When the position is assumed, a switch on the back of the forefinger is energized by the thumb, and your middle digit is engulfed in a red glow, indicative of the contempt you feel at that moment. :cheers:

LMAO :lol:
JLKasper, you should make a run to the patent office dude!!! You'll be RICH I tell ya... RICH!!!! :)
