I like bikes and would like to get into them, but I need to lose weight and actually keep it off. I don't want to look like one of those circus bears riding a unicycle.

Depends on what bike you get. Plenty of cruisers out there that are faster than most of the cars out there.

Seriously, look at some motorcyckle riders, theres some hulking fat asses on those things.

id rather not be one of those guys..

Everyone here realizes? i own a Vulcan cruiser right?

My dad is a big guy (tall and a little wide) and he rides a Honda Valkyrie. That bike is huge and fast as hell.

Actually the No. 3 mount, which is just on top of the motor on the passenger side. It should be really easy to do, probably a 15 minute job tops, but I couldn't extract the bracket from the metal sleeve inside the mount. I had to chisel out all the rubber and file off the metal sleeve cos it had completely corroded or something. I couldn't even pound it out with a punch. It was fucking retarded.

it once took me all day to get motor mounts off because the bolts have to be accessed with a 12" extension unless you want to remove the lower control arm and half the suspension..one of the nuts rounded off so we ended up having to drill through the middle of it, which was disgusting because they were not just rubber, but there was this brown..stuff in them with the consistency of diarrhea that went everywhere when we hit it with the drill

So basically a pussy?

Are you too cool for seatbelts as well?

Too cool, too fat, what's the difference?

Well i was speaking of wearing all the gear all the time and not riding it everyday. I wear a helmet but I hardly ever wear the gloves jacket and I never wear anything more then jeans. Hell most of the time im in dockers. You are the rider who buys a 30,000 dollar bike rides it 30 miles in a month and claims to be a biker.

So I have to use it every day or I'm a poser?

If the bike is an option. And you take the car. Not a biker.

If English is your first language. And you can't form. Complete sentances. Your are an idiot.

my coworker prefers his ducati 1098r over his bmw 7 series... his only bothers are that the bmw gets better mileage, has cheaper tyres,, and is cheaper overall... he has to change the ducati tyres once a week.

but with the bike he doesn't get fines.........

Oh now that was just epic. Do it again.

You ever seen road rash, TLP?

Man that was a sweet Sega Genesis game.

You'll note they're all wearing leathers.

And carrying chains.

Safety first when bludgeoning opponents to death.

Speaking of which, I was driving down Avenue Rd. today and saw 4 guys holding down one big dude. One of the guys was a UPS driver and his face was all bloody. Very crazy indeed.

Road rash was for posers. Skitchin was where it's at.

what a terrible thought that someone wouldn't want to be associated with the bikers. boy, i bet honor feels bad that you wouldn't accept him into your little club of beautiful, classy people.

i'm just waiting for the cocksucker's first accident - if you ride it 365 days a year it's just an eventuality

then he might just be more of a pleasure cruiser
