haha, what a knob-cheese..... he probably normally rides a scooter

[Timber020]

You mean that beemer isnt considered a scooter? I think with its power output it could be a moped.

I was merely pointing out all the gear he WASN'T wearing (just like scooters with open face helmets t-shirt and shorts)

2003 model and "shiny spotless" - just someone else who has mastered Not Falling Off.

I don't see the problem myself?

Forget it mate,so far outside the average sportbikers skill level they couldn't even grasp the concept.
An like most KB threads now days,this is about puting shit on somebody.
Get with the play man:msn-wink:

[Sniper]

At least the heated handels will keep his digits warm

[tracyprier]

Hey in a free society any idiot can buy any bike they like... they're still an idiot :)

[enigma51]

he is the man !!!!!

[Swoop]

When I grow up, I want to be just like him!:shit:

Hi all!

I love the Scarver! (That is the name of the bike on the picture.)
And I wear AllTheGearAllTheTime = ATGATT, and so do most bikers up her - BMW or not.

-Is all BMW's scooters? No power? BMW K1200S got 167hp, and that is no scooter! :-)

Yes, I know; if you want the fastes bike on earth, to win a race - most BMW's is not perfect for that. But please note BMW's is not old boxers only.
BMW try to make good bikes for most people, and they was not the last brand to make bikes with ABS & injection, and new types of shock absorbers, I say!

You can make jokes about my Scarver (it looks so special so I totally understand!), but please don't call BMW's scooters.

And for the picture of the guy not wearing proper gear; idiot! I hope I never have to clean up blood from tossers like him!
-----------------------------
So; those of you who remembers me; -did you miss me? :-)
(I can't make the smilies work now. I think it is because the browser I use.)

:-) Liv.

can't see tardme, what does it say?

[onearmedbandit]

Here you go buggy.

[WRT]

Whats with the giant screen too? Is he planning on quelling some riots?

[bugjuice]

cheers OAB.. dick...





oh wait, the rider is a dick, not you OAB..

[imdying]

Love how he's leaned forward for speed :lol:

Or maybe that's the cold... maybe his body is trying to tell his brain something...

[steved]

That bike has one of the ugliest side-profiles I think I have ever seen.

[kiwifruit]

nothing wrong with beemers
but the wally on that one is a different story!
man that would hurt in an off....

[Biff]

Shit, that's terrible. A guy making a decision for himself, and not being dictated to by a nanny state, risking his own skin and ride a bike without wearing full protective kit. Imagine the damage he'll do to himself, and to no bystanders whatsoever should he come off.

For the sake of humanity - think of the children.

[**R1**]

and what????? I dont get it?? is there something funny about the bike?

[orangeback]

HE MUST VALUE HIS LIFE ALOT , WHAT WE SAY $10 HEAD IN A $10 HELMET , GOOD THING HE SELLING IT THEN :tugger: :doctor:

[Jamezo]

One might even argue that he's posing less of a risk to bystanders by not having any gear; he's making himself squishier and less of a hard armoured object. So he poses less risk by hitting other people with his squishy bits, instead of armoured gear.




Unless he has AIDS.

Here we go again..... The HIGH HORSE club!

GET A LIFE AND LEAVE PEOPLE TO DO THEIR OWN THING!

For those that want to enforce gear wear, that's government mentality. Trying to protect people from themselves.
Half the posts on this site are exactly bleating on about that but regarding other subjects.

So, think about it! Motorbikes are about freedom. If someone chooses to risk themselves, so be it!

I think you'll find that "high-horsing" doesn't come into it, rather our shared responsibility for funding the national health system.

[onearmedbandit]

I really couldn't give a flying fuck either way. On one hand it is his choice, free country and I wouldn't want anyone telling me what I have to wear when I ride. On the other hand if he does come a cropper it's another reason for ACC to up their charges.

Mind you I probably helped ACC up their charges with my accident. 3 days in ICU, numerous operations, 5 yearly lump sum payments. Damn I'm bad.

[Nutter34]

I don't have a problem with educating people about safety and the use of gear.

To have a weekly bitch session on the same topic gets a bit old however, specially considering the person in question, doesn't even know about it.

[The Beast]

Looks like there's a scooter in the garage...

[ferretface]

Ahhhh....... a simple ad causing so many aneurysms.

btw...If BMW riders are anything like drivers then I ain't surprised!

(had to add me own two pence)

[XTC]

I quite often scoot down to the shops in my shorts and tee shirt.... But then I'm not riding like an idiot when attired like that. Remember that crashing is optional. You can increase your chances of arriving safely at your destination by using plain common sense. Unfortunately on this site too many people think that crashing is compulsory.

. Unfortunately on this site too many people think that crashing is compulsory. You mean to say its not! :eek:
Other than on a KB ride........:whistle:

They have a mantra - ''it's not a matter of if you crash,but when'' They say this over and over,reinforcing it in their minds...and hey presto,they act it out in real life!

Hmmm...perhaps pedestrians should wear safety gear so that the Health System doesn't collapse under the weight of j-walking injury costs..
