There's a guy over on the KLR sub asking for advice because he wants to wear a full hi-vis suit and mx boots for his commute to work, but he's afraid to walk into work dressed like that because he thinks he'll be intimidating. I don't understand redditors
Man there's a middle ground between between being a banana on wheels and letting your flaccid cock flap in the wind at 80 on the interstate.
Throw some motorcycle ankle boots on, gloves, helmet, a jacket over your regular work clothes and call it good. You do it right and nobody can even tell you commuted on a motorcycle.
Or not care what people think you look like. I’m currently in a gray jacket because it was discounted, nobody wants gray. What the fuck ever. My office chair was half price for being an ugly color. I’ll take advantage of stupidity any time.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't like being stylish, on and off the bike
If you're at the point where you truly don't give a shit then that's a great place to be
100% fair if that's your thing. I guess to me, "stylish" includes anything that fits the part. My moto gear looking like moto gear works. My MTB gear isn't high end or pretty, but looks the part.
My rain pants are super bright green, but again, they were half off, and I guess I'm a cheap bastard over stylish, LOL!
A pair of waterproof trousers were as far as I've ever gone outside of normal clothes , camo from my time in the Royal Navy, not canary in the coal mine yellow.
That was my first thought too. I wanted to tell him to ditch the costume if he's so worried about it but arguing with motorcycle nerds on this app is a waste of time
Seeing a doofus in full hi-vis track leathers and MX boots is the opposite of intimidating, it’s laughable.
But hey, live and let live. If he wants to walk around the office looking like Great Saiyaman or a friggin BeetleBorg, I say let him.
Don't want to look intimidating in a HiViz?
Cunt owns and wears paisley pants, has "sushi Tuesdays" thinks contact spots are too aggressive, and has only sworn twice in his life but immediately apologised.
How can I be down a testicle and still have more balls than him?
If I'm in a HiViz I'm being paid to be in it, and how exactly do they work on a bike? fairing and screen or just riding position hide most of the front, if they're behind you and "haven't seen you" being dressed as Bob the Builder isn't changing shit... anyway you're ahead of them and so obviously they won't be getting closer, and side on it's too fucking late.
Sad beige people, do enough sketchy shit and you'll soon learn that not being able to be spotted is far safer and much less expensive (but having a vest in your pack for your ride back where you sit bolt upright and look like an accountant suddenly changes your appearance just enough to not get silly questions asked on the roadside, how not to draw attention to yourself by drawing attention to yourself)
I can't comment on what sub he's on or what he's wearing but I can say, "nobody give a fuck about what you wear, or the bike you ride, or your thoughts on speed." Just ride, have fun on your ride, don't worry about other peoples rides, you'll enjoy your ride so much more.
I rented one a year or so ago, and that kind of planted the seed of riding a motorcycle into my head. Tons of fun flying around my small town late at night.
>In between two cars cause you’re too pussy to lane split to the front
NY is so funny for this because I know people illegally carrying talking about "rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6" and then we also have this exact kind of pussy who isn't risking 10 years upstate, just a fucking ticket if that. Unreal. I'm never more uncomfortable one bike than behind someone without another car behind to ***at least sorta help*** if some dick in a Twitter argument decides he HAS to respond now.
What about Denver where the speed limit is 55 and people routinely go 90 (cops here do not care *at all* unless you post it on youtube and make them look like fools)
Well, in most European countries' highways you can probably safely do 100-120mph as long as you got Waze open, our highways are actual tarmac and not concrete with weird dangerous ribbing
Same in Jersey. Semis will pass you on the left at 85+. I can understand there are tight highways or roads and shit looks sketchy, but otherwise don't see any issues.
What about germany where you're doing 110mph and still have a bmw who's driving 40mph faster than you coming at you from behind, flashing their lights, because you're blocking the fast lane
And the *sound*. Like a fuckin straight pipe on an MT07, dear god I don’t care if I’m only reaching 60 at times, I’m always reaching climax when the revs start climbing
hell, never thought i’d fall in love with riding motorcycles so i just got a beaten up cbr 250 that could barely get past 80 MPH, but holy shit, hearing the engine scream past 9k RPM awoken something in me
will get an H2 as my next bike for sure
We got Kevin in germany too, but it's used for retarded dudes age 8 - 30. I'm thinking of an american equivalent but I'm not sure. I've heard Kyle in that context.
Not that I want to offend any Kyles ✌️
i can't even put into words how enraged i would be to be stuck behind some fucking cuckold on (probably) a cruiser who considers going 90 a life altering, near death experience
I was riding to cars and coffee on my bike in houston. Speed limit is 65, i was cruising at 95, and a steady stream of cars were passing me on the left. These people go 100+ on the way to work lol
Have a beer before you ride, takes the nerve off a little.
Heck, I regularly have half a slab and hit the Hume on a Sunday morning. I recommend it. Making it home alive after maxing your bike out in pitch darkness dodging Ubers and trams while seeing double is more therapeutic than any of the usual things that cost money and don’t work.
We joke and all, but I've met people like that. Their group has a boss and he's their boss at work. They ride slowly and never pass anyone including scooters. They spend hours washing the bikes and posing around them but they mostly ride to the coffee shop. They're all about gear and they all ride Ducatis.
A guy was complementing my bike the other day. He tells me he used to ride, had an r6 and some older Honda liter bike. I told him the fastest I’ve gone was 178, and he told me he never went over 100 👀… I’m like, I hit 100 just coming up the highway on ramp 😎 who owns an r6 and doesn’t go above 100?
He did say that he crashed ALL of the bikes he had so maybe it’s for the best that he doesn’t ride anymore 🤷♂️
I mean hes right, its not a risk worth taking if you have a good life, especially if you have access and money to go to a track. I have none of those things

That is my exact outfit every single day walking into work.
Flaccid cock flapping?
Exactly
Why would it be flaccid?
I should talk to my doctor...
It's an elderly home

Dawg it's all good that you don't care about style at all and save $. But all of us can't have Asperger's... 😬
EXACTLY
Nuh uhhhh, the helmet will mess up his hairdo, everyone will know and be super intimidated by the scary motorcycle commuter.
A pair of waterproof trousers were as far as I've ever gone outside of normal clothes , camo from my time in the Royal Navy, not canary in the coal mine yellow.
here I am thinking I'd look like a fucking clown if I did that

That guy probably can’t be helped. He can either do it, or not.
to be a fly on the wall at his place of employment
Bring in the gimp!
Bring in the gimp!
And those are the exact same dudes that put themselves in dumb dangerous situations with cars.
i wear my full hi vis suit and mx boots in the shower
lemme get a link lmao
He probably doesn't want to walk into work like that because he's going to get bullied 😂
I can't comment on what sub he's on or what he's wearing but I can say, "nobody give a fuck about what you wear, or the bike you ride, or your thoughts on speed." Just ride, have fun on your ride, don't worry about other peoples rides, you'll enjoy your ride so much more.
As if being intimidating isn't part of the fun
He would not look intimidating. More like a meek clown with zero fashion sense.
Same type of person who camps in the passing lane going 60mph
Those fuckers are dangerous, causing mayham for miles.
Mmm...may hams
My hams
Our hams
Didn't even realize the typo, but I did have ham for breakfast .
...better than April hams!
Some people are alive and never truly live. This guy needs to get a bicycle with electric assist and a hi vis helmet.
E-MTBs are super fun
I rented one a year or so ago, and that kind of planted the seed of riding a motorcycle into my head. Tons of fun flying around my small town late at night.
[удалено]
MTB purist are fucking hilarious. Did someone e-fuck your wife while you were stuck pedaling uphill?
r/rareinsults thats creative man lmao
ty
got him to delete all of his shit lol
Cruel and unusual punishment!
ice cold mate
[удалено]
Straight man spotted, get him out of here
I have the top time on my favorite downhill in both directions on my e MTB. Sure, up is cheating, but down I have a weight penalty.
Ride slow all your life then get killed by Doreen the 90 year old pensioner with cataracts whilst your sat at a light
"I thought it was one of those center lane stoplights"
In between two cars cause you’re too pussy to lane split to the front

What a fucking square. Live a little. If you want to be safe, don’t ride an engine with 2 wheels strapped to it.
Listen here bud, maybe I like the feeling of an engine between my legs
Gotta love a gooch buzzer
Love a good taintquake
V8 powered dildo
Guess someone should never go to the western US where the speed limit is 80mph and people routinely go 90mph.
What about Florida where the limit is 70 and people routinely go 90?
Welp, the only option for that user is to stay at home wearing bubble wrap and be a full-time pillow princess now.
What about Denver where the speed limit is 55 and people routinely go 90 (cops here do not care *at all* unless you post it on youtube and make them look like fools)
What about Oregon where the speed limit is 55-65 and people routinely go 90?
Well, in most European countries' highways you can probably safely do 100-120mph as long as you got Waze open, our highways are actual tarmac and not concrete with weird dangerous ribbing
What?
What didn't you understand friend?
Same in Jersey. Semis will pass you on the left at 85+. I can understand there are tight highways or roads and shit looks sketchy, but otherwise don't see any issues.
What about Milwaukee where the limit is 55 but people go 100 in their 2012 Nissan altimas
Always the fucking Altimas, man...
They come stock with a pink furry steering wheel too
I was casually cruisin’ along going 135mph (220kmh) on the Autobahn the other day and got overtaken. Multiple times. I need a leader bike.
I barely even know her
Liter
Well yeah, that’s the joke.
i was just having some fun out of irony. You know since I'm the guy that had to remind this sub about the leader bike gag.
Hehe, nice.
Well yeah, that’s the joke.
If you’re not doing 100 to 110 between Vegas and Cali, you’re slowing down traffic lol
What about germany where you're doing 110mph and still have a bmw who's driving 40mph faster than you coming at you from behind, flashing their lights, because you're blocking the fast lane
110 in the left is just blocking traffic. Unless you go 150+, get the fuck back to the right.
>get the fuck back to the right Not even the middle lane. Straight to the trucks on the right lane
Bro got up to the speed limit in some places and said nah fuck that
Going fast isn't really that interesting, it's how quick you get there that's fun.
And the *sound*. Like a fuckin straight pipe on an MT07, dear god I don’t care if I’m only reaching 60 at times, I’m always reaching climax when the revs start climbing
Zx4 may be slow but that shit bangs through gears like a video game anytime anywhere. Love the mt07
Ahh yes the blissful sound of a parallel twin lmao
My first real bike was a twin with arrow exhaust and still one of my fav noises. Sounded like something from WW2. 636 at redline also quite nice.
Just got the new Suzuki 800; sounds goofy at idle but she’s a dream once you’re on it.
Lmao
hell, never thought i’d fall in love with riding motorcycles so i just got a beaten up cbr 250 that could barely get past 80 MPH, but holy shit, hearing the engine scream past 9k RPM awoken something in me will get an H2 as my next bike for sure
Tell me you're not fun to be around without telling me your name's Karen.
What if it's a guy. What's the male Karen equivalent?
Kevin
We got Kevin in germany too, but it's used for retarded dudes age 8 - 30. I'm thinking of an american equivalent but I'm not sure. I've heard Kyle in that context. Not that I want to offend any Kyles ✌️
[Kyle](https://youtu.be/8DcsCZ-iyo8?si=-q2rQWvZ9ibGOtMS) is a whole different beast.
Why did I watch the whole fucking video 😂
... Would your name happen to be Kyle?
No. Neither is it Kevin
Someone get this man some bubblewrap and a blankie. My bike ain’t the fastest thing on earth but I’ll be damned if I don’t push it as often as I can.
This guy going 15mph under the speed limit https://i.redd.it/i74wnfc9varc1.gif
That's insane. 90 is passing on the highway even on a 300.
The difference between living and surviving, hope the old years of nothingness he gains really pays off for his pussy ass
90MPH?!?!? What a madlad, he should get his license revoked
i can't even put into words how enraged i would be to be stuck behind some fucking cuckold on (probably) a cruiser who considers going 90 a life altering, near death experience
He gets his kicks from railing sex workers without a raincoat
This dude thinks putting Texas Pete on a sandwich is exhilarating
This fucker would feel naked and scared without a raincoat in his shower
This dude thinks putting Texas Pete on a sandwich is exhilarating
The f, it’s my 2nd gear. I paid for the whole bike, I m gonna use the whole bike
I got speed wobbles going 90 on my first street bike, GS500E. That was enough for me to realize I needed a faster bike.
I’m assuming his 650 was a cb650 so he had no wind protection because even the hogs with whips and tassles like cruising at 90 mph.
I do about 120 and it feels slow
What a wild spectrum of people there are, from this to the 30 year old beaters doing 90 on the daily.
Woah now, 5 under in the HOV is too fast for me in my leathers, this guys asking for a death wish going 90, bless his heart.
90mph won't kill ya, it'll just sting a bit
Lfmao. I’ve got the same bike. Always eating shit on it but who cares? I’m still alive.
Man, I love this subreddit.
That isn’t even one cry
I get it a little bit. If I’m on a long interstate trip, I’ll only go like 7 over. I don’t mind the speed, but I mind feeling rushed or in a hurry
I was riding to cars and coffee on my bike in houston. Speed limit is 65, i was cruising at 95, and a steady stream of cars were passing me on the left. These people go 100+ on the way to work lol

Lmao. anything below 100 mph is laid back cruising speed. This guy is a beta

I do 190 to the fucking grocery store
r/madlads
I attained that speed first time on my 250 while learning to ride
lol me too. Gotta see how quick it can go for sciences sake!
meanwhile my 125 cc cant even go 90
