You pull faces in your helmet too?

[beyond]

Man, you guys have lost it!! Repeat after me: "your helmet is not your room at the local asylum"

Remind me not to ride with any of you!!!


Yeah, I poke my helmet with my chin.
I make funny faces when I'm bored on the long straights.
I laugh like a schoolgirl when Im having a blast in the tight stuff.
I call people names loudly when they do dumb things that piss me off.

The rest of the time, expecially at lights etc, I'm riding a 1400 so I have to look cool. It's a muscle bike after all.

Bit like Star Trek this isn't it. You are not alone.

Riding up the rimutakas just cant help smiling and then bursting into laughter at the share enjoyment. And after watchin 300 the other night i find myselfsaying quotes from the movie, almost feel like a spartan with all the armour and helmet. Oh and the Braveheart quotes come out alot including FREEDOM at the top of my lungs, must look like a right idiot on the bike, noone has told me so tho.

Whats the 300 movie like? Worth watching? Good for the missus?

I swear at cage pilots.

From the pilots that I know, they seem quite intelligent.
The average cage monkey is, at best, a "steering wheel turner" and come nowhere near a pilot in terms of skill.

I am absolutely wetting myself reading this thread....something to look forward to as a newbie

300 is awesome! One of those movies you have to see on big screen

Oh God, yeah I'll own up. I sing badly but loudly.
Often I'll sing the somewhat rude song that starts "Four and twenty virgins came down from Inverness" ... for some reason (and in a Scottish accent). Recently bits of 'Danny Boy' have come out from under my lid and the other song that pops out is 'Always look oin the bright side of life'.
I've also noticed that I swear a lot more under my lid than I do in 'real life' but perhaps that's just because of the cagers' antics.
Finally, I also find it a good place to practice verbal presentations that I have to make for work ... most recently I spent the ride in doing the spiel I use to introduce our organisation when I'm conducting job interviews.

Loud singing....head nodding....foot tapping....shoulder bobbing....and standing up in low speed areas when the posterior is starting to object to being sat on for so long.

Guess it's a bit like the exercises that airlines recommend you do in-flight to avoid DVT.

Does screaming count??

Does screaming count??

Course it does mate. Rest easy.

Glad I'm not alone on the singing thing

Glad I'm not alone on the singing thing

Glad Im not alone on the screaming thing

A pilot could not do my job and i cant fly a plane.........that does not make a pilot a better driver than me....i bet they scream tho'....especially that Collins dude in charge of the DC10 v Mt Erebus.....

[Disco Dan]

I have sung from time to time... sworn at myself when I bulls up a corner (often) and even done a bridget jones....

[Ivan]

[Disco Dan]
