whats important is that the chicks around the town should know that you own that bike [prolly paid for by ur bhujbal-types father]
its just like saying that i am on a busa & hence i have the worlds longest & thickest 'john sunday' between my legs & my family jewels are of the size of 2 fully grown konkan-bred coconuts!
dumb asses all those nitwits... as if chicks really cared... and any chick if, she really cared, would rather make love to the machine instead of making out w/ the monkey thats riding it!

The point that the posers miss out grossly - regardless of whether you are ripping on a SBK or a Dio, when you rip that bloody fast, nobody (except interceptors!) can catch a glimpse of your face, forget chicks going 'fida' over your sunglass-clad 'thopda'!!!!!

Re: How do people react seeing you Geared Up?

Since I am heavy built getting a proper jacket is very difficult. So I wear only the knee protector, elbow protector, Gloves and helmet. I am planning to import one through my cousin in Ausi.

Anyway when I went to the first tour that I ever had. The reactions were mixed. In one signal near Pondicherry, a mother riding a activa told her daughter(20years)

. That this guy is trained well in safety that is why even in this hot afternoon he is wearing all the proper safety gears. And when I was riding behind a school bus. Almost all the children came back and started to wave at me and I also waved back to them.

Cheers.

You are already starting to have an influence on the younger generation. These kids will see and remember the day they saw someone fully suited up, Then when they get their bikes they will remember seeing you (and others) suited up and they will also want to follow.

whymail - Thanks for the well wishes, Its one of the industries that are hard on the home life, Though those who work on ships have it much worse, I'm away working over half the yr and my wife has to take care of the home, our 3yr old son, english bulldog :P
Many of my friends have had several failed marriages so they just stick to "temporary girlfriends" (They live in Thailand and Philippines) where there are plenty of these temporary Gf's to go around.

+1 to that :-)

i was away from home for over 12 yrs after marriage. somehow wifey took care of everything back then on her own. must compliment her on that. although, yes, i can understand how hard it must've been & must be on folks back home when the man of the household is out on field.

Unfortunately that's the retarded mentality, most fellows who use helmets ensure that they're at least 2 sizes to big, after all how else will you be able to use your phone.

Re: How do people react seeing you Geared Up?

When I come down the stairs newr my bike.
Kids stop there regular game.
And make line near the entry gate, shouting.

"See now he'll do some stunts"

Which I don't do infront of them and then they all feel so bad.

Well, I make them mad too sometimes :P

I've shown them wheelie sometimes when they are standing alone or peeping out of there windows.

In mumbai, people see me a bit geared up & then they see my UP registered bike. So I'm a tourist for them

But yes its a big headache, where to keep those gears before entering to college or office ?

Roflmo!! Though the chicks do seem to care..Infact they seem to be amused by a rider in full gear
'bhujbal types father'- exactly. Just wish they had a bit of 'Bal' in their 'buddhi' too alongwith the hands..

pay 300/- @ one of those aunty-ke-adde type bike renting shanties
get 1 litre petrol for free
get a bathroom plastic mug as a helmet
throw open top 3 buttons of ur shirt to show ur hairy fuzz
throw open ur pants zipper to show the apology of a human specimen that you are
head straight to calangute or anjuna beach
get a shack or two on rent for 3 hrs
do 'chakshu-chod@n@m' on every chick that ur sorry eyesight can reach to
return to ur shanty thinking the day could not have been spent better...
that's goa for so called pro riders

Re: How do people react seeing you Geared Up?

Some of the attire of SBK riders described here can be called SCATT. (Some Clothes All The Time).

Believe me, in Bombay, I have seen numerous punks zipping around on big bikes (almost always inline-4 supersports). And mostly, there's not even a helmet on their God-forsaken heads! So all the gear starts and ends there....they prolly think helmets are for wimps, DHOOM bikers don't need helmets...those are for ordinary mortals on flimsy Indian bikes. The only chance of finding someone appropriately geared for a big bike is when there's an xBhp event or some other club's G2G

And SCATT is still a level higher than... BECATT (Barely Enough Clothes All The Time). There's a screaming CBR 600RR in my colony that's around for a few months with these blokes who look nothin more than mechanics who got lucky. One of these days I'll snap a pic and upload it here...in fact I just saw the moron this morning at a busy junction on LBS road and here is what they wear 95% of the time- Knee-length shorts or 3/4ths, with slippers or floaters and SLEEVELESS BANIAN.
Go figure!

Sharing the mentioned pix...
