Darwin has a sense of humor. People like that are just waiting until he needs a good laugh.

Each to their own. Followed a group of helmet less, short and tank top wearing harley riders this morning for about 10 miles...each to their own.

Riding on the interstate the other day in my cage. Saw a guy on a cruiser driving about 65. Both his hands were off the bars and he was using them to tuck in his sleeveless shirt. Not sure if this is dumb or something I should be able to do. Don't really want to find out if I can I guess.

Bike's at certain speeds pretty well steer on their own, maybe was using tank to steer .. not something to do

Maybe he was checking goggle to find the proper way to ride?

You know, you might be right, something may have happened to Darwin or else the gene pool wouldn't have gotten this bad

Lawyers and Warning labels. That is what happened. Darwin hardly exists anymore. Sad.

A Southfield man is recovering after accidentally shooting himself in the penis as he adjusted his gun, according to police.

The 45-year-old heating and air-conditioning company employee was on a job in Birmingham on Tuesday when the incident took place, Birmingham Police Deputy Chief Mark Clemence said today. He was getting ready to work and was moving the .40-caliber Glock pistol in his pants when it discharged at 11:15 a.m.

See, he won't be reproducing very much

And some people say that Glocks do not have decockers.....

stantony1 · 07-03-2012, 12:34 AM

Leaving my house, I saw a young gal ride by on a ninja 250 wearing short short spanky pants and a tank top. I was like... whoah, HOT! But then I shook my head and thought, "She should be wearing gear... It would be a shame to road rash those gorgeous legs." To each his/her own. I wear full gear because I like my skin. Paper cuts piss the hell out of me... imagine road rash?!?!?

yea I'm with you on proper gear.. but we can't legislate common sense

The odds are stacked against bikers going down...just impossible to scan all our surroundings, some folks dress for the summer some folks dress for the fall(stole that line)

Gandalf · 07-03-2012, 06:45 AM

Ha the other night I saw a girl on a 'busa weaing full black leathers...and no helmet.

Saw a warning lable on my box of Shredded Wheat this morning. It Said, Contains Wheat Ingredients. If you are allergic to wheat and missed the huge name on the box, the tiny print warning will not do you any good. I think these people should be selected out of the gene pool.

sanford · 07-03-2012, 02:38 PM

It's like when I phoned the wrong number, I apologise, and the guy on other end says"that's ok, had to answer the phone anyway "

Haha unfortunately she was roughly twice the size of anyone I'd dream about

Flying Couch · 07-03-2012, 06:54 PM

The other day I saw a dude riding some little 150cc or so scooter. He was wearing a dirtbike helmet, dress shirt and pants, but had the helmet unstrapped and pushed up on his head. Shaving. Shaving, while riding a scooter on a crowded road, doing about 45 MPH.

rustydog · 07-04-2012, 09:44 AM

I saw a rider on I-70 laying down on his bike with his feet on the handle bars and reading a book.

so it would be fair to assume it was not a book on proficent motorcycling

There's some seriously talented people out there. <chuckle>

As always, what the government believes is unrelated to reality

kamesama980 · 07-06-2012, 09:40 AM

Reality is like the movie Idiocracy. I showed it to a friend at my last job, he said he watched it 4 times in a row in horror then did some looking on google and found a harvard study (mentioning the movie) whose results showed that the movie was a few years optimistic.

that movie and office space are pretty much spot on at what happens/will happen.

and even if the gov't can't do it great, it's not like a lot of people out there are doing it so great themselves.

me, i'm just looking forward to when we have flying cars. then we're all taking stupid to a whole new level.
