Texting while riding

[Swapmeet Louie]

Good! I've been drunk and fired up a bike in less than Dental floss, I don't recommend it though.

Dude seriously. I edited my post for you. Obviously you missunderstood everything my post said. Why would I say gear is useless if I wear gear myself?? I'm just stating the obvious which is that this forum is obsessed with thinking that If your not in full leathers you shouldn't be near a bike. I'll tell you one thing I do not condone not wearing gear and I never said that I did you just apparently put that in your head. Just ride and live life. Because if your not endangering anyone but yourself, ride naked for all I care

We all agree on texting being stupid at least right?

The point of the story is that pic doesn't belong this thread.

Mind telling me where in this thread it say not to post pictures of ANYTHING other than people texting while riding? What gives you the right to say where things should and shouldn't be posted? The general theme of this thread is how texting effects safety while riding, not just texting while riding as an end itself. I just wanted to post a picture of something rather unsafe (I don't care what you're opinions, flip flops while riding is not a good idea) in a thread that was in many ways dedicated to that topic. I don't really know what you were trying to accomplish, but you were a real fucking asshole going about it. Ask Kopsicle about that one...

Flipflops while riding definitely fits the theme because that is a danger to others as well as yourself. I see nothing wrong with that post. Flipflops could get caught or slip and cause you to not be able to shift properly or use the rear brake properly, thus endangering others as well.

I wasn't trying to accomplish anything fox, I was just sharing my general opinion to stuff. That's the glory of the internet. It actually wasn't really directed towards that picture all together. This was the one that made me say something. Is he endangering you with his cargo shorts somehow? Haha. I'm sure you have something to say back but i'm just gonna end my posting in this thread. Don't think I fit in with ya'll real racers.

See now that's a pointless picture. That's not endangering anyone except for himself. Neither was the guy that just drove by here shirtless with swimming trunks and tennis shoes on his hayabusa. But it doesn't change the fact that the flipflops picture was dangerous. Its impossible to have a thread like this without someone getting sand in their vagina. No offence to the lady riders on this site no disrespect is meant.

Why would you want to turn his bike into yours at speed?

I wouldn't. I was thinking just a tug to make the bike shimmy a bit and give the dude a wake-up. Grabbing and hanging on would be as stupid as texting and riding.
