OUCH!
Can anyone say gravel rash!

That would have done more than just tickle.

If I ever did that with Momma, I'd never be able to close my eyes and sleep at night ever again with her in the house. This takes B**ch slapping to a whole new level.

That's really sad. Poor girl probably trusted that idiot and didn't know what she was getting into (or, maybe she did). At least she had a helmet on, but they were probably in a state where there is a helmet law.

When I take my wife for rides I've gently brought it up to speed a couple of times, but instead of sudden acceleration and wheelies (well, I guess I don't do wheelies on my BCR anyway!), my version of showing off is riding super shmoove so she knows she's safe and will want to go out again.

Indeed!
We've had some nice weather recently and yesterday whilst riding a woman went past me in a tank top much like this video, shorts, and thongs! (flip flops or whatever you NA guys call 'em)

I see that stuff from the blokes occasionally but not often the women!

Oh well, it should make the human race stronger, better, faster.... lol

Has anyone seen the movie Idiocracy?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/

A narrator explains that natural selection is indifferent to intelligence, so that in a society in which intelligence is systematically debased, stupid people easily out-breed the intelligent, creating, over the course of five centuries, an irremediably dysfunctional society. Demographic superiority favours those least likely to advance society. Consequently, the children of the educated élites are drowned in a sea of sexually promiscuous, illiterate, alcoholic, proletarian peers.

Don't kid yourself.....you know they already have without your permission.

Sorry to break the news to you.


BUT there is also the chance that they have a BF like me who is responsible. I make my passengers wear full gear and I never push my bike when they are on board.

I'm no saint tho.

Now that I ride with PRECIOUS (Jane) cargo I have dialed it back significantly. But, I have never been one for wheelies just fast cornering. I must also say that riding in Wisconsin is much different than riding Texas or out west. This state is not condescend to real sport riding. <;~( Too many deer (all hours of the day), gravel in corners, poor roads surface, tractors, police and wacky drivers.

That's what I thought-maybe it was over and that was his method of letting her down "gently"....

This is just another example of stupidly inexperienced.
Common sence tells you to put protective clothing on.
I've been riding for 30+ years and have always wore protective clothing.
There was very little to choose from back then but now there's no excuse.
Even on the hottest days if I'm out on the bike the minimum is denim jeans with a protective armored top, helmet etc.
I hope this thread makes it to other sites and wake these stupid people up.
Would any body leap out of a car doing 60kmph/35mph in a T shirt and shorts, absolutely not.
So why ride in the same?
Stupid, the Law should pull them over!
Every time I see it myself I say something to the rider if I can!

You also might want to get a pair of ankle bracelets for them too. The ones that act like black boxes so you know where they are at any time and what speed they are traveling at.


You've probably already seen it but ride2die.com is a nice graphic site that shows what road rash does to pretty girls skin.

Well that adds a whole new meaning to the phrase "Dump your girlfriend".
