Ever used being a biker to solve something/gain an advantage? [Archive]

My 11 yo is next week starting Intermediate School. He is a very soft and friendly type who is interested in art and music. He would have no idea how to defend him self if someone took a dislike to him. And sadly that can happen.

This got me thinking what I could do to help him if it ever happend.

And that got me down a memory lane.

Many years ago when my then g/f was told to leave her first office job she was in tears. Not because that the job ended. But because the reference she had been given. It stated that she had been useless, had no idea and did not recommend anyone to employ her in an office again.

I took it up on me to sort this straight away. (Just the kind of guy I am...) I dessed down in to my biker gear (yes, there was a patch involved), mounted my bike and rode noisily to where she had been working until that day. I parked the bike on the path in front of the front door, walked in and asked who Mr .... was, and where his office was. I was told that he was not to be disturnbed, but I had already sussed out what office was his. So I pushed his door open, walked up to his desk and asked if he had written the "reference". He was a chubby guy in a tight grey suit that suddenly wanted to be somewhere far away. But he managed to answer "yes" to my friendly question...

I carefully placed the letter on his desk and informed him that what he had written was probably the truth, but he needed to realise that as a result a young girl who had aspirations to work hard and learn the job, and in the future become responsible for a big organisation and the happiness of it's staff, might never see her dreams fullfilled, as his refrence had forever left her confidence dented....

Well no, I am lying here. I threw the reference on his table and told him I wanted him to write a better one and mail it to me inside 2 days or I be back...

I walked out, kicked the bike in to life and left.

2 days later my then g/f had a glowing reference in our mailbox, and she went on to become a well paid PA in a big organisation years later.

Got down the wrong memory lane (thats the problem when you get older, you get confused and all the memory lanes look the same...)

What I was gonna tell you was:

When my oldest was 7 and started a new primary school, he got hassled by the kids. It got to a stage where he would fake sickness in the morning so he would not have to go there.

I went to see his teacher and had talks. But nothing changed. So I decided to fix it my self.

I had a old black HD shovelhead and a morning I took her out of the garage, put my gear on, gave my son a helmet and told him to jump on, I was gonna take him to school. I had on purpose left it a fraction late so that his class would already have started.

We arrived to an empty school yard as everyone was in their class rooms. My shovel had straight pipes, so there was not a window that did not have kids pressed up against it. I rode up to his classroom, parked the bike outside the windows and left the motor running. He got off and gave me the helmet. I grabbed it, hung it from the side of the seat, gave him a high five and loudly said: "I pick you up after shool and we go for a ride".

He smiled and said: "Yeah dad".

I picked him up after school, we had a short ride, and when home I asked him how his day had been. He told me that nobody had hassled him and everyone wanted to be his mates.

Never again while at that school did he have any problems with the other kids.

Bloody beautiful :hug: well done! :lol: I think, given that I am in the business of hiring people :shutup:

I did in a group interview tell the panel that I rode bikes...we all had to say something and I thought that they would remember me if I told them. After I was hired and had then secured a manager role, I was told (by the head dude who had been in the panel for my interview) my now direct boss....that he had hired me at the time because he thought I would be happy to work there and would hang around because our building was only two doors down from the bike shop :2thumbsup :lol:

I guess I must've also done something right in the interview but this made me laugh and is my only example of having 'used my bikerness'

BTW - your 2nd post was great too I can just see it :laugh:

I can't really remember - but once when one of my daughters had a problem she wanted solved....she asked if I could get some of my old friends together and go and sort it out for her.I didn't of course....we are just silly old men now - but it's interesting what our children think about us.I kinda feel a bit honored that her first response was that her father could just give someone a stern look and they would say sorry.

Oakie can only guess. But clearly that does not have any impact on your look at things.

I do have some inside information to answer your burning question: Yes, the new boss was really pleased he employed her. She was a good worker who did really well when provided with instructions, instead of being thrown in the deep end to handle stuff that he should have employed someone qualified to tackle.

Mr K might want to consider why a boss might write a poor reference. I have had female intervewees with poor references because:

1. She wouldn't put out or put up with hands up her skirt when he had the midlife crisis. Nowdays he would be in jail.

2. Another Boss found out his star performer wanted out to a rival and so set out to get revenge.

3. A girl doing her seniors $75k a year job with no training. She was on $28k and the boss was slagging her off for not being good enough.

I usually phone at least 2 referees and then contact someone in their firm to give me some background on the referee. You soon get to sniff out the bogus references good or bad.

And the connection with bikes? I rang one guy for a reference who said 'This chick rides a Harley and so I thought she would start stealing form me' 'Did she ever actually take anything?' 'No, but she might given a chance' Ugh

The 'Harley' turned out to be a CM250 Rebel. She got the job.

29th January 2009, 22:51

I've found that in my role as an educator, the motorcycle I am known to ride generates interest and more attention from at risk lads in the school. It gives me an in and a point of interest which develops the relationship as a significant adult in their lives.

Often they will approach and strike up a conversation ... "cool bike sir, my dad rides" or "I had a go on a dirtbike..." that sort of thing. Pays big dividends when it comes to the more volatile situations and they know its "Mr.Joe" is there.

You should see the smiles on their faces when I let them get on the bike. Their smiles crack into huge grins when I tell them they can start the bike and give it a few quick blips...

I've used my ride to help give immediate connections with film studies ... "The World's Fastest Indian". Whole class goes out and sits on my ride and they get to do all that as well...

So yeah, I do use being a biker to solve something/gain an advantage! I freely educate my classes on the joys and dangers of choosing two wheels as a form of locomotion, I discuss it and I get no end of questions about it (clever students trying to distract the teacher :msn-wink:) ...

I do so love being a biker! :yes:

Similar experiences as Mr GIJoe, although I won't be able to express them nearly so eloquently!

When I was a (high school science) teacher, riding my bike to school got me street cred & helped build rapport.

I also used it as a context to teach physics units - energy transformations and friction in particular. I took one class outside and we gathered around my ageing & untidy (yet surprisingly throaty sounding, due to the after-market pipes) gpz250, and revved it repeatedly and loudly....right underneath the Principal's window. He quickly stuck his head out the window and asked us to shurrup - probably interrupted him reading his playboy! :tugger:

gijoe1313's post reminded me that when I in my mid 20's worked in a drug rehab/detox I did use my 750 Bonnie in a similar fashion.

Turning up in my leathers gave me a different "status" to the others working there who walked around with loose track pants, jesus sandals and cotton shirts.

At times I even took some of the "clients" on a ride to get their focus on to something else/new. For them to know that I did move in places where drugs were common, but did not allow it to destroy my world gave them some hope I think. To be able to show them that the only option for salvation was not coming from a world where sitting around the campfire singing Kumbaya, but there was other choices, like finding a freedom in riding bikes, perhaps helped? Not sure. In any case, it was who I was and it seemed to stike a chord with many of them.

Sarcasm is wasted on the net. The tone just does not carry. And sadly there are those who still would not get it.

So a clarification to Katman: What I wrote where you quoted that from was not the truth (as mentioned in the next paragraph) but me trying to make you believe that I, after grabbing a handful of attitude and riding to the job place, suddenly wanted to plead to the chubby sweating guys concience and his caring nature for his ex employee.

The ones of us who while reading that BS smiled and said "Tui anyone?" got what I was trying to say.

The others, well...

Everyone wanted to know who had the red bike in the car park. It brought out a lot of reactions like

"I used to ride a bike....I had a ......"
"I've always wanted to get a bike. How do I go about getting......"
"That's really cool you have a bike - do you have a spare helmet and can I ride pillion?", "Nope sorry and I already have a really hot wife :love:"

NEVER YET had a negative comment about riding a bike. Funny that, maybe all these motorcycle haters are merely a figment of a deranged imagination..or an attention seeking device for the broken brained - I dunno.

Well a 13 year old kid certainly floor me once. Personally I called him the shit kid - now I get on with all kids - but he was was very challenging. One morning he asked me to take him to school on the bike, had the BMW K100 at that stage - we left Wainuiomata and went into the Hutt - he directed me right into the school. Got off the bike - he gave me a high five and said Thanks Mom. While all his friends congregated around the bike - then the cheeky shit said she looks hot in her leathers ay. One of the very few times I was literally gobsmacked. He later told me everyone thought it was real cool. I actually didn't want people to think I was his mother cos he was a right little horror.

Mate... Sarge is an ex US marine and I wasn't going to ask but for all you know he was in the gulf war, and judging by the picture of him over his FJR (note: yamaha, not a harley) I would say it could take a 14/15 year old schoolboy a little more then taking his shirt off to kick his ass. Just a tip - Kimbo may take his shirt off on youtube but you're not kimbo and this isn't youtube. And to be honest, you're posting a little like the mouthy little guy who talks a big game right before someone breaks his nose... No shirt removal or talk about "the rough streets of central auckland, new zealand" included... Maybe you should worry about getting that NCEA cert more than making yourself look tough on the internet or getting "respec" from the looser little street kids or else you might find yourself looking tough with loads of street cred while cleaning deep fryers at the local dairy 12 hours a day

To get this back on track, but also hopefully to close the "shirt on or off" issue...

Many years ago (don't you hate when all you did was many years ago...) my brother, who was riding with me, was confronted by a big guy who did not like his attitude. My brother was not a bad fighter, and I had never been able to beat him (had tried many times...). But we were out to have fun and not fight. So he tried to defuse it all. But the other guy was like a dog with a bone. In the end my brother said: "Fine, lets go then" and stripped of his vest. The other guy was a fraction stunned by this, but started to do the same. When his arms were both caught in the vest-removing-exercise my brother smacked him one straight on his jaw. He fell and did not get up. My brother picked up his vest and we went back to what we came there for: having fun.

So you could say that he used being a biker to his advantage there...

ok..2 things ..

first... Never call someone who has served in the USMC an "EX" Marine..

Marine Veteran or Former Marine..

Second.. Gulf War was after my time.. i actually got to use my weapon for its intended purpose..

more than once...

and judging by the picture of him over his FJR (note: yamaha, not a harley) I would say it could take a 14/15 year old schoolboy a little more then taking his shirt off to kick his ass.

its a YZF1000r ThunderAce.. the FJ is the blue and white one in the profile

what i love, is that the tough guy running his mouth rides a gn250... hard!

being a biker has worked to my advantage many times, living in london my journey time to work takes less than half what it would in a cage, i get free secure parking at work - and have got to know all the other bikers there.

i've never run from the police, but as most of my riding ends up being in rush hour it would never be worth their while chasing me.

backpacking about the place with the bike, I get people talking to me all the time, generally if its a sunny day and I stop for a bite to eat by the road, someone will stop checking everythings all good.

so for me the community aspect, the nod, everything, is the biggest advantage.

Hey - we all started out on something - and the GN is a great learners bike and got many thousands of bikers out there on the road.

Its not the bike - its the rider - Nobody should be given shit about their bike.

Unless its a Honda owner - who are all gay.

or a V-Strom owner - becuase their bikes are piss ugly.

I havent seen you fight, but it is common for women to scracth , pull hair.And ive seen guys fight in a similar way, tackling , pulling on shirts and it isnt a good thing to do.When fighting it should be fair,to many people do cheap shots, they wait till there opponent take of there shirt and do a punch while there turning around.I mostly like to keep my fighting in the ring because like what i said some be unfair an get all there mates on you in the city.I cant really give you advice on fighting id need to see you fight,just give them a fair chance and then co ordinate your hits jabs,uppercuts,keep you guard up always duck and dip.

Dean

2nd February 2009, 09:57

sadly, i dont.

I brought the zzr as a compromise, I wanted a zxr750, but aint mad enought, and do enough long miles on the motorway that the 600 does the job, thats also the only reason I got a 600, as anything smaller isnt as happy cruising at UK motorway speeds for long periods of time.

Its completely the rider, not the bike. I fully understand that it doesnt take any skill to open the throttle and go fast in a straight line, I'm not quick, probably never will be, and im not tough - also never will be.

while I dont agree that I've got the shittiest bike, Its in no means my dream bike, that honour goes to the zxr250, the second bike I owned, which I would happily trade the 600 for if I wasnt spending so much time sitting on the motorway.

Tom

zxr 250s are nice,but alot of good riders rode bikes way worse than my gn250,when youre starting of riding the bike doesent matter its the skill thats needed.I cant ride a good nice fast bike yet because i feel i need a bit more practice on traffic riding,and my lines .
At the end of the day , your zzr600 can go well over speeds needed for the road,theres riders with gixxer 1 litres that can do motorway speeds in first gear.Its all about skill, and personal preferance, it would be logical to get a 250 tourer because many can cruise at motorway speeds.

I always find it hilarious that there's an assumption I can't look after myself just because I have fewer vulnerable points on my person.

As you grow older you'll start to appreciate that sometimes life is not about fighting fair, but about staying alive to enjoy another day. Unfortunately, sometimes those two are mutually exclusive.
Most of the chickenshit trouble makers out there wouldn't dream of starting a fight unless the odds were stacked heavily in their favour. It's not an organised sportsevent out there - and there are no rules. You will always be better off not getting caught up in a fight.

I hear what you are saying - but you are missing the point - they are actually trying to offer reasonably good advise.

(note this post is not a pisstake)

There is fighting as in sport - boxing, karate, kickboxing etc.

They are all great.

BUT - if you ever get into trouble 'in real life' - its a lot more serious and the consequences are a lot higher - like getting killed.

They arnt going to play fair with you - you shouldn't either - nice guys finish last.

Fighting should be avoided at all cost (serious) - I will go a long, long way to avoid fighting - but if you ever have to you should fight like your life depends on it - and that means doing everything possible to get out of there in one piece.

The best way to win a fight is by 100 meters.

To Mikkel and Tank
I understand what youre saying to a point, but you must understand that youre looking at this from the wrong perspective.
how would you feel if you killed someone by accident in a fight, and when you were fighting you gave him no chance you mauled him like an animal and he could not defend himself on the concrete.Fights can go terribly wrong, so no matter what the outcome i can say it was a fair fight man vs man , youre only thinking of yourself but its actually better to think of the person youre fighting you may be angry at them but something bad could happen that you would deeply regret.In reality its like your a adult and your fighting a 8 year old when you do cheap shots because they cant defend themselves

well - I dont start fights, and as mentioned previously would have tried to walk away. So in the case you mention I would have been defending myself or my family.

In that case I couldn't give a fuck if he died.

+1

Furthermore I wouldn't get into that situation unless it really was a matter of self-defense - i.e. being under enough pressure to not have the ability to keep a perspective of the situation. Not likely to happen in a one-on-one - unless there's weapons involved.

Despite never being the most softly spoken and least provocative person in just about any gathering I have managed never getting into a real fight since I left primary school, not even close. I suspect it helps having a reasonable level of confidence in yourself and your abilities though.

If this is (as the conclusion is that I have come to) in referrence to my post #2 re me taking my son to school on the bike, then I think that you might have missed it a fraction.

- There was no intimidation of parents, school or children intended or achieved.
- My action by taking him to school on the bike resulted in him becoming very popular.
- There was no "possible" bullying going on. To him it was real. The teachers did not see it (as they told me at the meetings I had with them).
- I did this to create a "cool" factor. And it did work. He became the boy who's dad was riding this big black bike with straight pipes. And who's dad would take him for rides. On other later occasions when I visited the school on the bike I would have the ones who now were my son's mates come and ask if they could also have a ride. My answer was always the same; only if your parents tell me it's OK.

He was about 50cm from me by this time.I just drew my work knife and stabbed him in the leg and rode off calling an ambo for him as I went. (got to love blue tooth helmets)

Yep, there is clearly much more to the office story. A young girl being dropped in to the deep end w/o training, first office job w/o experience, putting in long hours (and w/e's w/o pay) to try and get it all done, but getting no recognition. Tears and frustration, and then being dropped and getting the shittiest reference I have ever seen.

Protection and taking care of the ones who are yours is probably what it is about. Very high on the list for me.

What makes me laugh - is 1/2 of the people you are taking the piss out of are biggish blokes - and several live not far from from you.

So any time you go on a KB ride - or even grab petrol and go to chat to the other bikers there - you run a very high chance of bumping into them.

Consistency, you have none. YB, you have a promising career in trolling ahead of you, but you need a few pointers sweetie.

1) Calling people gay lacks class. First of all, it's 2009. Who people fuck isn't really an issue, at least not in countries where there isn't Sharia law. Also, if you'd ever actually met a gay person you'd find that they're just like everyone else, right down to working out and possibly being able to kick your ass. Which leads me neatly onto point...

2) Stop with the tough-guy thing. Auckland is too small a place for you to go mouthing off at adults the way you have been. Seriously. Because sooner or later, for all your bluster, someone will punch you in the face, if only to get you to shut the hell up. And for all your "I take my shirt off and do x" you will find that being hit actually hurts. Bad.

3) Back-pedalling. you got the balls to say it once? Then stick to it. You questioned my taste in men, I back my statement up. Calling me ma'am (you're not a student of mine, you don't get to call me that) or suddenly asking Tank about his boat just makes you look a bit, well, weak.

At you moment you're all bark and no bollocks. Either join the conversation like a human being, or learn to troll properly. If you do neither, expect your sandbox to become a very lonely place...

True story...

The first time I met Gubb (ever) was at a pertol station in Hamilton (Didnt know who he was at the time).

Big bloke parked his car right up aside his 'ol ho'bag.

Gubb told the guy to move his car. Guy gets out of car (hitting Gubbs bike with the door at the time.

Guy was about 6'3ish.

Gubb smiled and smacked him in the face with the helmet.

Dropped the guy in one - left him pissing blood all over the forecourt. Gave him a kick in the ribs to make sure he didn't get up then walked over to where the other bikes were and started chatting. Didnt even mention what had happened.

It's called constructive criticism. Arguing would suggest a level of intellectual parity.

Feel free to understand that I'm not threatening you - and know that I have no intention of giving you the bash. (Gubb on the other hand).

Boys and girls.

I started this thread because I wanted to find out if others had also used being a biker to their advantage. I have had a red bling with the comment "bogan" as a result. But have also had a doz or so positive blings.

I have no interest in your guys squabble on here. Take it to PD and keep it there as it is the only place it belongs.

Any more of that crap on this thread I will ask a Mod to move all the postings that has nothing to do with the subject to PD. Or failing that, the whole thread.

16 or 55, surely we know better then write shit like this? But if this is the stuff that makes you horny, then why not start your own thread called "I smack ya head in homo" or something else highly intelligent you can muster.

Soapbox away to the corner where it belongs.

And back to the topic:

Some years ago I owned a small unit that I rented out. I decided to take pity on a girl who told me she had used to be a hooker, but had gone "straight" and wanted a new start, but was struggling to find someone who would give her a chance. I rented the unit to her.

For the first 3 months things went well. I got the rent and there was no complaints. But then the problems started. The neighbours contacted me, she was having "visitors" coming and going. The rent stopped arriving on time. And when I went to check the unit out it was a mess.

I told her it was time to move. But she would not do this. So I took her to the Tribunal and she was ordered to move out inside a week. When we walked out from the hearing she told me that she had some heavy mates and she was gonna call them over and they would smash the place so badly it would be worth nothing. I warned her not to do that. It was not a good idea... She laughed at me and looked over my suit and tie presence and said: "And what are you gonna do about it pretty boy?"

As I drove away I started thinking, she was clearly back to her old ways, was using drugs and looking at the state of her, she did not really give a shit about anything. As I was the landlord I did not want to go and threaten her or get physical. So what to do?

A few months earlier I had made some custom bits for a bike belonging to a guy high up in the Auckland bikie scene. He was very happy with the bits, that I got them to him inside the time and also with the price. He had told me: "I owe you a favour. Just ask".

It was time to ask. I went to se him and told the situation, and asked if he knew someone who could go and see my tenant and politely tell her that smashing that little unit was not in her best interest. "Leave it to me" I was told.

2 hours later I got a call from my tenant. She said: "I never meant what I did say, I be out tonight and I have the place tidy. Please ask that guy not to come back to see me..."

I never found out what happened. But I was told that she was known to one of "the boys"...

Gubb

14th February 2009, 12:41

Sorry Conquie, one last post, then i'm all on topic again, much like Tank, i've become frustrated with the circular arguments.

you guys know where i am tell gubb i aint going nowhere hes really fuckin pissed me off.

I have never threatened you, never said I want to hurt you, I've never said I was pissed off (you'd know).

The world doesn't revolve around you, if you can post examples of where i've directly threatened you, i'll apologise to you publicly, if not, you can say sorry for being an asshat. Fair deal?

ive used my bike to gain traction with the "kids" at work. they range in age from 16 to 30 and older and are mostly high school drop outs with no interest in learning. to do courses, learning about farming, carpentry and automotive.

when my folks went on holiday, i took over mums side of the job and would ride in wearing shorts now and then. the rumor then started that i had tats all over my legs [ive got one palm sized one visible, and one little one covered].
it was quickly followed by the idea that my bike is a harley. dunno where that came from, cos the bike was parked right up against the building, so they could easily have got a closer look and read the rego card.
i had it in last week for some basic mechanical checks cos i dont have time to do it myself, and the comments i heard from the workshop were along the lines of "coolest bike ever" and whatnot. lol. most of the guys there do have bikes, but the are all POS.
currently they are working on a trailie with major issues... they can kick for ages and it still wont start. they offered to swap their trailie for my virago.
they were also really interested in the bikoi, partly due to their tutor also attending.

my bike may only be a 250, but she sure gets attention!
