    Thank You to the bikers that don't wear full gear

    As the title says, Thank You to any riders that don't wear full gear.

    After my recent stack, I was worried that the Missus wasn't going to let me back on, but after looking at about 70% of the bikers on the road, and realising that I wear more gear on a bike that is maybe a 6th as powerful, she has been convinced that I am looking out for myself, and am smarter than a lot of the idiots on the road.

    So cheers guys.

    Back on the bike, and loving every second of it.

    Good to see who wears the pants in your household.

    At least I don't have to buy my pants in the kids department.

    Besides, i'm actually happy that I care about someone else more than I do myself.

    Love makes you do some strange things.

    That's actually how my other half feels too. She said she doesn't like the thought of me riding but knows I won't ever stop, but seeing what other people wear it makes me look awesome by comparison. It makes her worry less.

    Nothing wrong with keeping the other half happy!

    Sorry, I use the term 'Missus' pretty loosely.

    Bahaha you wont have a bike if she decides that you're going to get married. It'll be the first thing to go to pay for the wedding or the house or somethin

    Sweet Jesus.

    Choose the bike over the woman every time, bro. Every motherfucking time.

    You might regret it now, you might still regret it in a year, but you'll never regret it on the day you die.

    No chance. The old dunger that I just bought, and am gonna restore, is so that she can learn to ride.

    Sure i'm not as extreme as a lot of people, but to me, there are more important things in life than Bikes.

    I wouldn't argue that the bike itself is that important, but it's a symbol, man.

    Two wheels and an engine is something holy and righteous that stands as a battle standard for our manhood.

    Nobody argues that a battle standard is intrinsically valuable; a good artillery piece is worth an infinite amount more.

    But how many soldiers that would happily retreat and abandon a cannon if need be have fallen and died in front of a simple pole and flag?

    Choose the bike, bro, choose the bike, or you'll lose the battle before you even realise it's started.

    If you have to try an explain that to some - Its just easier to say nothing.

    Some people just don't get it an probably never will.

    I Love my wife and children.

    I love my bike.

    I have it all.



    Good to hear your back in the saddle bro, I might have to find my way over there and have your neighbours remember what a pleasure, peace an quiet is
    It is what it is

    If someone you love makes you choose then you need to question if they truly love you.......

    sometimes its easier to say nothing...... just walk out to the garage, get on and ride away.
