Motorcycle Attire

[Cruzr Joe]

I enjoy seeing all the different attire that Motorcycle riders wear, BUT ....... Somewhere along the line, depending on where you are, you have to be aware of what your "OUTFIT" says about you.

yesterday we rode up to a State Park Restaurant for lunch and their were numerous motorcycle people there in different outfits, most of them looked pretty good until it happened (now understand that this is a family oriented restaurant with a lot of your children and older adults that may have just come from church etc.) In comes a mid 40's looking guy with a small group and he has a bright neon orange t-shirt with the following emblazoned on the back. CAN YOU SEE ME NOW A**H***. and although he may have thought it was cute, it was not appropriate for the setting. a simple vest or other covering over this shirt while in a restaurant would not have been too much to ask for.

if you chose to wear such attire please be aware that depending on the location, some of this stuff is objectionable even to other riders.

I totally agree :2thumbs:

 

[SPYD1]

Agreed...and unfortunately I've seen worse.

 

[bruiser]

Like the "Can you see me now" with the skeletal hand with middle finger.

 

[Bob Denman]

Drives you nuts; doesn't it? :gaah: Think of it as proof, that having money to spend isn't the same as having good taste and good manners.

I get his point but I also agree that was not the appropriate place to express it to whichever cager it might apply. Don't think I'd wear something like that in the first place but that's just me.

Most, if not all, of us have been there one time or another. For me it was as recent as yesterday. Wish I had my camera pointing forward as the idiot driving the drop-top beemer nearly took the front off my Spyder! I suppose I should have felt better when he stuck his arm in air and waved.

Like many others i want to make a statement .................... But i don't want the statement to say ........ hey look at me i am a dumb**s with no social skills.

P.S. after seeing this yesterday, i took a look at some of my riding/socializing attire and removed some patches.

[QUOTE no social skills.[/QUOTE]

It's sad that having social skills is becoming a lost art.

There is a time and a place for stuff like that and a family restaurant is not the place. Things like that really tell you what kind of person that was...

You must be a :spyder2:lovers if you are decent, respected, nice, humble individual. No one can hate you if you are a :spyder2:lover:roflblack::yes:. I'm glad most riders are cleaning their acts together for good. God Bless us.

I had hoped to be wearing my shorts and tennis shoes, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. (at least from what Lamont posted in another thread).

At this stage of my life, I'm not even sure there is a place for it or a time. Damn, it sucks being the guy I used to complain about! ...Don

There are some things that are considered far out--but I am not going to say much more on this hot button issue.

I think he was looking to shock people and since it is not illegal there is no fixing ignorant. I see some pretty bad bumper stickers on cars as well and as a gentleman and a contributing member of society I would never think to display such nonsense. That being said, I can only say thanks to my parents (now both passed away) for instilling into me the common sense to know right from wrong and excuse those that feel the need to gain attention is such an anti social display.

 

[Bob Ledford]

How uncouth

some people just can't hel themselves....

Thats when you need a shirt that says "I ' m with stupid!"

Don,
It sure sux; this whole, "getting old" thing! :shocked: :roflblack:

Don,

No, no, no , no, no! Delight in every day, and look forward to the next one, too. It is a privilege to grow old...be proud and happy, and thank God for the favor.

Maybe I've just still got too much "Kid" in me then...
The odd thing about it is; I still think like I did when I was really young. (and stoopid!) I still listen to the same noise on the radio, (same FM station since 1977), I still would LIKE to wear the inapproprate Tee shirts that I happily donned 35 years ago. Time hasn't changed my core beliefs; but it has added some perspective to the mix... :thumbup:

 

[SPYD1]

Bob...grandchildren did that for me...

 

[Bob Denman]

I'm still too young to be sleeping with anybody's Grandmother! :shocked: :joke: :roflblack:
