Picking up hitchhikers

[swbarnett]

Apart from not having a bike that would easily take a pillion I would not take one unless they were dressed at least as well as myself. Their life and limb would be my responsibility so I wouldn't treat them with any less respect than I treat myself. For me this would mean ALL the gear (except maybe armoured trousers as I don't always wear them).

how many of you would pick up a hitchhiker, despite the fact that he/she has no helmet.
i did today, and i still had to race sidewinder, so i went hard as with this 50 ~y/o dude on the back of the motard, no helmet(for him), 150pkh flat tack down the divvy in raglan!
its good fun picking them up and then scaring the shit outa them aye!
anyone else do this?

FUCK YEAH!!..........try and pick up the bald [aerodynamics] or the 'P' addicts [weight saving].....chicks are superlative as well [hang on tighter the faster you go].
As for the helmet, who gives a fuck it aint your head.

Not only are you a dick but you are quite prepared to get on a public forum and show everyone just how much of a dick you are.

From what ive seen of Carver's postings I wouldn't put it past him.



Picking up a helmet less pillion = bad idea

Going warp factor 9 with helmet less pillion = one of the dumbest things ive heard of for some time.

I don't think even Skidmark would of done that

. . . Though, anyone thick enough to jump on a the back of a strangers bike with no helmet kind of proves the theory of evolution/survival of the fittest etc ( clap clap 4 da handicap ) Hoopefully said idiot has not reproduced yet and may be elliminated from the gene pool as the natural order dictates.

I was recently coming down SH6 from Queesnstown and stopped to pick up a hitch-hiker. He had no helmet.

Further down the road I saw a poor fella on a 250 chook chaser with a puncture and what looked like all his worldly posessions on the back. He DID have a helmet.

Nevertheless the three of us lifted his 250 bike into the back of my van and continued odwn the road to Winton where he could get his tyre repaired.

Ah yes. If you read carefully you'll see I was driving a van at the time!

So what about a Bald 'P' Addict Female?...chances of that happening are slim granted but, its a crazy society out there....

I stopped in the bus lane one night to answer my phone, was chatting away and two 18 year old chicks jumped in the back. It was raining, took pity on them, turned out the both of them were real shady and willing to pash each other just for the shock value. I kicked them out on the shore, honestly, you just don't know what might happen...

DOH!

As for taking a pillion that I don't know, without a lid? Fuck no, never in a million years. As for doing 150 clicks with said pillion - you wonder why bikers get a bad name...

Mormon Few? Once Mssrs Darwin and Grim catch up with you, we'll be reading the eulogy here on KB - won't take long, it is inevitable, Mr Anderson.

[toycollector10]

Are you a mormon cultist? I don't get it. Blood transfusion for the pillion if you binned it? Get over yourself.

I'd pick up someone walking WITH A HELMET. I must have been 15 y/o (25 years ago) walking along some road out the back of Normanby, after the czeta scooter we dragged out from under the hedge stopped down at the car dump out in the middle of nowhere (we needed a "new" brake-light switch). Some biker whizzed past then pulled up quick and asked "wheres yer bike?" "Er, it stopped." "ok, jump on" he replied. I was stoked!! I got a ride right home from this guy on his cool bike. He didn't do any scary shit - just hummed along. I bet he was pleased he could help.

If she anit less than 50kg shes off my bike. And she'd have to have a helmet and even then I'd still say no.
Noone.
