A jolly old biker...

**Kittyhawk** · 14th December 2007, 15:06

I happend to be driving down the main road of Panmure, just minding my own business, air con cranked up to max, engine humming, thinking I should take the cage for a decent cruise etc....I was then somehow distracted...there was a biker coming towards me in the opposite lane.

Now being a biker you naturally have to look at the bike going past you, to check out what kind of bike it is and if you know the rider etc. Well I didnt know the rider, and the bike was old...all it said was honda...looked like a cruiser version of the CD250 but with a pillion back rest.

The rider was wearing a white helmet red t shirt and erm...stubbies with workboots! Was this really santa in a summer bikers costume? I think not. I was laughing hard, remembering the old days where stubbies were it. Men thinking stubbies were cool....my dad thought stubbies were cool and being cool was just cool.

This jolly old guy must have been enjoing the fine weather...but I wished he was wearing proper gear. Old school huh?

T'other day, I saw that guy's twin brother: Honda CB250Rs, open face helmet, short-sleeved shirt, shorts and sandals. And it wasn't that hot, either!

I felt positively overdressed in All The Gear.

Stubbies are cool. I'm wearing a set right now. And I was wearing a set a month or two ago at my 21st. It's just you gotta have the right pair of legs to wear them... proper hairy British white legs

Oh yeah almost forgot. You can't pull the stubby look off without a singlet singlet and a beer.

Maybe the beer will explain it.

As Robin Williams once said:
"You realise you're an alcoholic when you repeat yourself, You realise you're an alcoholic when you repeat yourself, you realise you're an alcoholic when you.... oh god damn it."
