Idaho Wolverine

I know Idaho does not have a Helmet law, OK. But when you are riding a top notch sport bike like a ZX10 for example, and are not wearing a Helmet, you really should not run stop signs!!!!!

I was going to McD's with my son in my truck, and I see a car at a stop sign and a green ZX10 behind it. (This is at a 4 way stop) The car is stoped and the ZX10 is behind the car. The car goes, I am next and the ZX10 goes right beind the car!!!!!!!!!

I love motorcycles and I watch for bikes when ever I am out. But COME ON!!!!!!!!!!! Not everyone looks for bikes, and SOME of these bastards actually TRY to run bikes off the road.

No gear, and run stop signs............ That is just stupid..............

Well, somehow, some of the dumbest people on earth (none of us though) end up riding motorcycles. I'm not sure why.

From a fellow Michigander in Boise......

Sniedly, I think this guys lives in Mtn. Home. The bike shop that I work at part time, the owner has seen him around, ordering tires becouse he wares them down to the cords in the middle and has "mighty kid meal" sized chicken strips..............

And Keith, I hope Michigan does well this year. Whiplash is one of them damm Ohio state guys, so I wont hear the end of it if his Buckeyes (named after a poisonous nut) beats my Wolverines!!!!!!!

The Pedal-er

I have poisonous nuts and a buckeye, I saw it in a mirror one time and it blew my f@#!in mind.

GO BRONCOS

this may somewhat dated for you guys, but some of my fondest sports memories are of seeing woody hayes go absolutely beserk as "Bo's boys" thrashed the buckeyes.

Its hard to beat any game day in Michigan stadium, but when OSU gets crushed, that's a pretty good day.....

Any place in the Big Ten is a good place to be. I did get to listen to the Idaho-Mich St. game..wow. And isnt Penn St. playing Notre Dame soon....go Lions! And of course....Go Buckeyes!!! gotta beat them Longhorns!

I was born and raised in Ann Arbor and grew up going to Michigan games. The only problem was that my dad was (is) an Ohio State fan. (Sorry, that's not even close to being on topic)

I grew up in Brighton, but lived in A2 for several years. I managed the liquor store and deli on the corner of main street and ann for about 3 years in the early '80s.

Ever have a chance to consume the barbecued ribs from Delongs?

Lovely city if it wasn't for all the libs.....

I've seen that dumbass out on the ZX-10. What about the 3 punks riding around on new 600's with no gear who think they're the biker boyz! They're usually at Moxie Java trying to look cool. I can't wait till one of them wrecks so I can get my next track bike!

CBR King

yea the no gear thing is not cool

but dude way not cool wishing for someone to wreck man bad karma

Yokom06

I agree I have sceen the biker boys riding around my favorite is no lid, shorts and riding next to every girl they see and popin up the front. No big pops just little ones. Its great like the girl is going to pull over and say "take me home" come on. Its guys like that that give us all bad reps with others, and the police. There is a time and a place for fun.

Yokom06

How is it that the police will pull you over in a heart beat for not wearin a seat belt but riding a 600+ cc sport bike, no lid is required and shorts and no shirt is ok. I guess they are weeding us out.

shane431

You're right but I'm not an optimist I'm a realist. I'm not the kind to feel sorry for someone who gets hurt when they pull a wheelie down the highway, end up going down without gear, and end up taking the big dirt nap for being stupid. It's Darwinism by definition.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want anyone to get hurt but sometimes when it does happen I really don't feel sorry for the no gear wearing idiot who thinks he's cool cause he owns a sportbike and watched some stunt video.

BlindLOKI

hahaha... Im glad others are seeing the no gear group here in mt. home hehehe. the kid that crashed in boise was one of those guys, the one on the orange/black tribal 600rr. My group wears gear. Were not the best of stunners or riders, but we also like to keep our head in one piece

Nick1983

Yeah, Shane's a good guy, and I agree with him. Its not fun to say "I hope you crash" but it is a simple reality that uneducated people will make uneducated decisions. There are no Neuro-Surgeons that work at McDonalds. Everybody here knows I like to hoist a few wheelies, speed a little in the twisties (speed being relative to the posted limit... not to be confused with "fast"), and have a good time. But everything will be within my own personal limits.
Think about it, the cop's not going to remember you going the speed limit in a school zone wearing full gear, he's going to remember the 3 or 4 Biker Boyz he saw pulling wheelies down I-84 in rush hour traffic, or the one's that have become road pizza (RIP), and automatically give you the stink eye.
That's just my

famousstunner

yeah that guy was me and did you happen to notice i had a helmet on dipshit!! yeah.. and i happen to notice that most of your ass's were sitting on the side watching the eight of us who new how to stunt.. you know what this is some bull shit so what you need full gear to ride your bike to the store?? in 25mph trafic? i'll admit that that kid on the zx10r is pretty dumn but me and my buddys dont even speed so that is some bullshit.. why do i need to speed when i only do slow wheelies ..wheelies on the freeway and shit like that are for people with a death wish.. who the hell talks shit about someone wrecking thats pretty fucked up..

Idaho Wolverine

In my original post I said wearing gear is that persons option. But I also stated that person with no gear on AND running a stop sign infront of a big truck (mine) was very stupid.

Yokom06

Yes some people are very stupid.

CBR King

yo hoff i dont think he was getting joy out of the fact that you wrecked he was just talking about your crew there in mountain home not wearing ther lids

this is not a site for bashing on people unles we are just kidding around
there is no hostility needed here

AlxandrtheGr8

Hey to each his own I only sat there watching the stunting because that is not what I do, I take enough chances on the track, and if I go down that is my fault same goes for everyone else whether it is stunting or being stupid on the streets. It is an endless battle between gear and no gear, GI Joe vs. cobra, autobots vs deceptacons, superman vs lex luther, Honda vs Yamaha. What do you do, Sometimes we just have to learn from our mistakes, some are just a little more painful than others. You cant really rag on stunters for stunting in a stunt session, when they also have permission to do it, I felt bad when the orange tribel went down, but these guys know that they are taking a risk, as far as gear, yeah I think he should have had more on, but he walked away and I am sure he learned something from it. The people who get stupid on the streets they do make us look bad all you can do there is call them names and hope they get caught I dont know if I would wish for them to wreck. But we all do get a little crazy on the streets from time to time. Maybe not as much but what do yeah do, does that make any sense

Yokom06

Alexandrthegr8 enough said, on the money with that..............................

CBRF2Old

Well put AlxandrtheGr8!

Hozhead

I don't think I could have said it better MrGR8 (you get good Karma for that).

Nick1983

Well put Shea.

AlxandrtheGr8

I was affraid that it would not come out right but I am glad it did

CBR King

no it came out perfect

BlindLOKI

whoa dude... slooooow down. I know this was a long time ago, and this post is old, but I just now read it. i didnt realize this was still out there.

I wasnt laughing at you, calling you names, i was just putting the word out as to who you were... they said hey, theres guys ridin around with no gear doin blah blah, i said hey, that guy is him. No harsh words, no name calling (dip crap?), bad words, or even a good hearted jest... just plain fact. I know you had a helmet on, but you and your crew usually dont. If thats what you wanna do, so be it. Im not living your life

Hozhead

Will this thread ever die?

BlindLOKI

I think it depends on if he accepts my appology or not.... lol


Im just trying to let him know that I wasnt laughing, i think it sucks he went down.

Meh.... the more people you have to ride with, the more fun you can have

famousstunner

you dont need to appologize for what you said its just that fact that me and my crew whatever do wear helmets just not when we're riding in mountian home were the farthest place to go is walmart.. we just get on and go we go slow in town expecial since half of the people i rode with only had a permit.. its cool like alex said i learned from my wreck and i wish i would have had my pads on im mean why buy them i i dont plan on wearing them but i didnt plan on stunting that night so i didnt bring them my bad but i have the scares now to remind my self to take them jsut in case.. oopps i fucked up.. i want this thread to die i just want to ride.. all this is is a differnce in apinion i like to ride at 12 oclock and you like to ride flat it's all cool.. every one goes down so its safe to say you should always wear your helmet i learned that.. so let this come to an end
