Fucking douche.
Not exactly. "Jaguar" is probably over here too, but he's not Nortonguy AFAIK. At Cr.net the group that hang out there are racers and ex racers and wannabe racers and they play at being tough and so on. Jag just gets sucked into that and plays that role over there - though I hear he has changed for 2013.
This thread isn't really about Norton Guy or Jaguar or CR.net, it's about people sticking stickers on their bikes either to mess with people who know better or to mess with others who don't. Who knows what this particular bike decorator was thinking. Maybe Norton guy did it to wind the rest of us up.
Putting Norton stickers on an XS seems a little silly to me but there are days when I'd do the same thing just for the heck of it. Swastikas are out of bounds for obvious reasons and the Confederate Flag doesn't symbolize the same thing in the south as it does in the North. I should change that to it doesn't ALWAYS mean the same thing.
It's distasteful in that it's now political and racist and I don't need any of that or the ignorance and intolerance it is a sign of for many. There is too much divisiveness in politics and too much racism in politics too.
