Police checking gloves?

[Toaster]

Maybe they should also pull over the twats riding about in shorts and t-shirts as well. In fact I saw a dude riding a trail bike up the road last week - attire: shirt, shorts, jandals. No helmet even, hell, what a mess if he came off, he can't know about the accident ratio within kilometers of your house thing.

Maybe he wanted to find out what it is like to be the cheese on a cheese-greater? I admit I sometimes wear jeans instead of cordura pants on the cruiser, but wearing no safety gear at all is downright crazy.

If you decide to ride without gloves you deserve all you get from the plods.

OK I can relate to this cop and how he feels , if you thought about all the times hes helped someone at an accident or whatever, then youd realise the pretty soon most of the Accidents can be alleviated, or should I say the results of accidents, by the use of the correct gear or item ie: seatbelts in cars, gloves on bikes etc etc.

And then think about all the times that hes tried to help someone with advice and because you dont want to hear it it comes across as arrogant or condescending.

When I say to someone that the really should put that seatbelt on that 3-5 yr old standing on the seat I get told usually what the F*$k has it got to do with you?......I just tell them that I usually am one of the ones who comes to the accident to wash their son/daughters brains down the drain.....most of the time they shrug and speed off.



So now I give up saying anything doesnt mean anything to them, most of them dont love their Children more than their Beer or smokes or drugs so why should I?...Because I care is why .

Only reason I`m a volunteer Firefighter is cause I do.

so if someone sounds arrogant or condascending to you, open your ears and mind and really listen to the message cause it might save your life or the pain your about to endure.

Drive safe and have a happy xmas and New year.

Well said RT........Wear your gear, keep track of it, look after it and it will look after you, the cop was doing the whole road safety thing, if i was around and stopped at lights, i would have told you the same thing, as i do to idiots wearing shorts and t-shirts all the time.....

i would have told you the same thing, as i do to idiots wearing shorts and t-shirts all the time.....

Do you get told to mind your own fucking business and/or assaulted for that often?

[hobdar]

most of the short and tshirt brigade i talk to are too shocked that anyone who cares has taken the time to say anything ............but hey if one listens to some good advice and starts to wear gear then its worth the few times i get abused... and i try to be nice about it...its when i start abusing cagers at the lights for cutting me off without indicating you have to watch out
