What Not To Wear (while riding)
- Thread starter JonKerr
- Start date
Was at the mall the other day in the car and parked near two guys on crotch rockets on the top level.
One guy had helmet, gloves, jacket, jeans and boots.
The other was wearing sweat pants and a hoodie (and helmet because its the law up here). No visible armer otherwise, shoes were sneakers.
The real kicker was that they had a girl with them who was riding as passenger for the first time. At least I assume it was her first time as they had to tell her to let the rider get on the bike first.
Her wardrobe; flip-flops, pre-ripped jeans, thin sweater, bare hands, and a helmet.
Edit: I'm sure everyone could have guessed but she was riding with Captain Sweatpants
Presumably the helmet wasn't hers.
I would have taken a picture but they were watching me shake my head at them.

The IRONIC thing is,,, they watched you shake your head,and probably thought," What is that dumb ass lookin at ?", but WE HERE know who the DUMD ASSES really are. Nothin gets me annoyed more than seeing 2 up riders(like I did today) and the passanger (female) wearing short shorts and sneakers. Can you imagine hamburger?
Here's a handful from the last couple of weeks. Saw a TON of squids out there today in shorts and t shirts. Think there was only one photog out on 94 today though so probably not too many pics going to be up from today.
Really??
Oh this sucks!
WTF????
Nice boots
This guy's got to be joking with this form.
This guy too
Seriously? This is just brilliant.
Ultimate Squid. No gear and run wide on Palomar. Idiot.
On a brand new ZX10, one of the most powerful bikes sold.

Explain why their form is bad... All but one or two looked fine to me. Passenger on plane with rider and looking over inside shoulder.
actually, most track day instructors WILL take you out on the track two up... its fun... really helps shows you how much more lean angle you have and are still not using...
Really????
This is a friend of mine riding 2 up with Jason Pridmore at his school. This is what you call 2 up form. The biggest problem with a few of those other 2 up riders are that the rider has his arms pretty much locked. Not good. The others their form is fine, just they're not wearing any gear. I don't ride like the pic above with my wife on the back. But I still use my upper body to shift some weight side to side to keep weight as low and inside as possible.

I was over exagerating its not ALL of them, but quite a few were. Like the lady with her hands on her mans shoulder through the corner. Or the other chick sitting higher on the back seat almost straight up and down and only holding on to his sweat shirt.
