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,   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  

I would of asked him to put it down........  before I smacked him like a little turd

Another reason selective breeding should be inforced

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.

My boss thought it would be funny to remove my visor and stash it somewhere else...

I just about punched him in the face.

"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.  




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!
