Wow!!! Judge not least you be judged yourself..... What a load of codswallop on this thread!

FWIW - No one in their right mind would ever have called me slim - in my 'heyday' I was always more of an hourgalss - but as I have 'matured' I have definitely got a hell of a lot more padding. Add that, added to the difficulties in walking since last year and - well.... I am sure you have got the picture.

I don't give a rats arse what you guys and gals think about that - and the fact that I still ride (when I can) - and that my tank is a good resting place for my boobs!! I like riding and if my weight causes you issues and you don't want to ride with me because of it, then that is YOUR problem. I have had a very eventful and interesting life and there is a hell of a lot more to me than whatever my current weight is!!! (Same could be said if a miracle happened and I woke up a size 2 ...... well I did say it would be a miracle ..)

Fat, short, tall, skinny, curvy whatever we are for whatever reason, that is what we present to the world - the way we dress, the way we do our hair is the same - not EVERYone has the self confidence to be able to afford to be careless about others cutting and sarcastic remarks. Everyone is a critic these days. Some of you call it the right to be non PC and the right of your freedom of speech to say what you like? I don't think so.

I call it thoughtlessness, a lack of manners, a lack of respect for others and just damned overall rude actually, regardless of whether the target is (too) large - or (too) small.

Couldn't have said it better myself!!

Are you for real?!

DO fat people really have a go at skinny people for being thin? Strangers or known? Verbally in public? What do they say to you?

I don't buy this line to be honest

Sorry No.1's. It does happen. I was kicked by a fat chick the other week on the train (Don't ask why I was on the train). I suppose it didn't help that I had just said: "Not only are you fat and ugly, but you are loud as well!"

And if you look at the posts the only time I have judged her is for not wearing a helmet. I only commented on her size without making any moral judgements about her as a person.

Admittedly I hadn't read the whole thread.

And you are judging me, hun.

Yes and no.

I was judging, yes, but I'm not judging you as a person. For all I know we'd probably get on quite well (especially considering our shared view on PC crap). My comment was in reference to you apparently making comments about someone's personality based solely on their physical appearance (which it seems you weren't). So, I was judging your attitude on a particular subject that I perceived as narrow minded, not your entire personality.

I think this is part of the problem with the PC crap and why it invades out lives. People take things too personally (not that I'm saying you did).

[swbarnett]

Typical PC rehash .....blame some one, any one....
just do not take any responsibility yourself.

Genes

You eat more then you burn you gain weight
You burn more then you eat you lose weight.

If you can't be bothered with that discipline thats fine by me.......
Makes no difference to me, but don't whinge about people who state the obvious.......
It either doesn't bother you, or you change it.......

Grow up

Genetics play a role in setting your metabolism. If it's fast you can get away with very little exercise. On the other hand if it's very slow you may only be eating enough to keep your body going but no amount of exercise is going to stop fat forming.

It's not always about will power.

Some of you call it the right to be non PC and the right of your freedom of speech to say what you like? I don't think so.

The way I see it is PC is all about never offending anyone, this is just not possible. I hate the PC brigade with a passion but I still understand the meaning of tact. It's just a matter of balance.

Man .. this makes me wanna go buy some chocolate!

So when wife/girlfriend/sister/mother says...does my bum look big in this... WHAT DO WE SAY ???? (without having to duck/keep vital pirivate equipment undamaged)

This is where tact comes into play (and self preservation! ).

For the record, I posted the picture as a reference for what these people think is suitable riding apparel. That which they will fight tooth and nail to keep legal, as opposed to standards here. Merely as a point for discussion.

My personal thoughts are: The chic is fat. Big deal. I was once too. Glad it's not my cholesterol.

Red and pink won't do however.

And now you tell all....

Hey man, i was drunk......very very drunk.......but i didnt have to pay your misses so it was a win win situation really

If some continue to ride without "appropriate" safety gear, injury rates will increase, and then the law makers get into the act. They then, after "consulting" with profesional advisers, will TELL us what we will wear. With no choice in the matter.
Red and pink may save a little "rash"... very little though...

With her excess weight would she be able to get the bike up to enough speed to pull someone?

I find it pretty disapointing that people seem to 'love' to make fun of such people.

At least this chick is out there doing what she loves. And not sitting at home behind a keyboard!

Ugly is the 'one' that makes ugly remarks!!

So because you think it's inevitable that we will loose the freedom to wear what we like and take our chances you insist on acting like we already don't have that freedom?

Besides, "appropriate" is a relative term. In the 50s what they're wearing was considered appropriate.

I reckon shes ridin' that to pull guys... wonder if its working for her

Pull guys? I'd say the best she could do is drag them behind.
