>Motorcyclists who only wear a t-shirt and shortsDo they want to die?
>>28901783>Do they want to die?No but they definitely don't want to LIVE as a paraplegic.
>Motorcyclists>Do they want to die?Yes
>>28901783hows leather gonna save you from getting tboned at a stop light or ran over by a truck driver on drugs?
>>28901812>why is that stupid soldier wearing a vest and a helmet, how's that gonna help if he gets shot between the eyes lol
>>28901783Not necessarily, they just have a very poor sense of risk versus reward and/or non-immediate consequences. They're stupid, but not necessarily suicidal.>>28901812Getting hit isn't the only hazard. Even a small accident is enough to send you sliding across the pavement at high speed. Go hold your arm against a running belt sander if you want to know what that feels like without protection.
>>28901783Around here they've used to tie steel wires to the bike and the other end around their neck so they'd get decapitated if they had an accident. Apparently it died out as a habit but still.

>>28902050Here's a satirical review of them from 10 years ago(written in the language of Adam and Eve) https://swiatmotocykli.pl/aktualnosci/wydarzenia/tomekniewiadomski/top-6-linek-na-szyje-dla-motocyklistow/It was an evolution of better dead than in wheelchair attitude. By the time that article was written it was a dead meme, but quite common in the early 2000's
hello i will now comment and now the thread will die with zero replies after mine thanks for playing
>>28901783>Do they want to die?You need to understand, living means choosing my freedom, however, modern life means freedom is limited, nobody wants to die and even an adrenaline junkie biker like me doesn't want to die either but if I have to choose how I want to die, it'll be riding to Velohalla and one day a Valkyrie will guide me there
>>28901783Youngsters and stupid people have a sense of invincibility and a very poor grasp of physics. Basically, no danger is considered real until it is personally witnessed first-hand or experienced. Seeing someone torn up on a hospital bed won't do it, they need to see them sliding down the street for them to connect cause to effect.
>Today I'm going to ride my 150c scooter on the freeway :^D>H-Hey! Quit tailgating me buddy I'm going as fast as I can >:^(
>>28902114Young and stupid who survive their 20s and 30s like me are the scariest kind of people if armed right, luckily, we use it ability to have fun instead of being an alpha operator or terrorist. Someone like me who met God 8 times isn't afraid of sliding down the street or getting tboned another time but it's that the next time I see God will be the last time I stop riding here on Earth
>>28902126Hell yeah, brother
>>28902092>.plIt makes sense now

>>28902140The normies will never understand. They are not favored by God.
>>28902187Bikers are the modern day knights, cowboys, and samurais, where the testament of judgement comes directly from surviving the Lord's daily endeavors, that is the true test of our faith
>>28902092interesting, thank you polska anon
>>28902092Why is poland so fucking retarded?
>>28901783I've ridden nekkid, its good fun if you're pootling around a safe area on a nice day like that girl in Vanishing Point.People that don't at least have boots and gloves on roads deserve the wire brush and Dettol treatment.
I usually wear gear. But if you've never dressed for the ride on a perfect afternoon, man, you're missing out.
>>28902300I personally think it comes from a period right after communism fell. Before that your fast bike had like 25 horsepower 2 stroke and it was dogshit. Afterwards you could import a decent Japanese bike that rode somewhat fast but was clapped out. Fast forward into mid 90's you've had 100+ horsepower on tap while the roads were still made for the puny tiny commie motorcycles and cars. Plus people didn't bother with good gear, meaning any accident was absolutely fucking horrible for you, so people just made it so if they crashed they just died.
>>28901783just don't crash holy shit are you guys stupid?
>>28901783Wear a T-shirt on a scooter, and nobody bats an eye.But do it on an adventure bike, and they lose their fucking minds.
>>28901783They're just lazy and think they're invincible.
>>28903364if your scooter tops out at 35mph any crash you get in will not be much worse than you could get into on a bicycle and nobody bats an eye at cyclists wearing their nylon onesies.well they do but not because of crash safety
>>28901783>Do they want to die?The only gear that matters for surviving is a helmet, and even then it only saves you from low speed crashes that cause impact to the head. What they want is to turn into a flesh crayon and spend years in agony from sliding across pavement.
>>28903484>What they want is to turn into a flesh crayon and spend years in agony from sliding across pavement.just don't crash bro. it's not hard to not crash.
>>28903475>if your scooter tops out at 35mphelectric bicycles are faster than that. the smallest scooters (125cc) top out at about 50mph.my 300cc scooter tops out at around 95mph.
>>28903495the smallest scooters aren’t 125s they’re 50s. but fine. I agree that people don’t see a 300cc scooter and a 300cc motorcycle the same way.
>>28903509nobody uses 50cc scooters here except that one asian guy who rides it in the bicycle lanes. so 125 is the unofficial "smallest cc scooter" in reality. but yeah.some people are ignorant about scooters and class them in the same category as bicycles. but a scooter is a REAL motorcycle!
