nixy Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Me and my other half are on the gixxer on the left of the picture on our way to a bike event. One of those 'arrival photographers' snapped this. The guy in front had just blasted past us at I would say at about 100mph ish on the humber bridge (not the most stable road) and I was stunned to see his other half hanging on for grim death wearing flip flops, a hoodie and leggings......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be much skin left on either of those two in an accident! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 After learning the hard way i would agree, it was almost instinct to don the gear before i went out, but, a trip to local shops, less than a mile away resulted in, double compound fracture, shattered talus and foot 130 degrees out of position, all because i thought no point, i am only going to the shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well at least she had jeans and a long sleeve top on . . . when the sun comes the below is a very regular sight over here. . . This year daisy dukes and a bikini top seem to be standard attire for the female pillions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WINKJ Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I could be wrong, but that bike does look like a genuine MotoGP bike for the Milwaukee Yamaha team. Either way, it doesn't matter if he is a professional rider or not.

TT350 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 When I was 16 I had a scooter. I used to fly about on that wearing shorts and a vest. Doh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well its not like we can shoot much in this country with the strict gun laws. Only the criminals have guns as they don't need a licence and background checks. We can, however, shank them right in mince pies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I don't ride motorbikes and nor will I ever but I do find it hard to believe that people would be so stupid to let their loved ones ride like that. Maybe if she had read the Brittany Morrow story she wouldn't ride like that again. Link: http://rottenxxxronnie.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/extreme-roadrash-original-brittany.html Shame on her boyfriend/partner though for letting her get on the bike like that with him.

It's not cool! edit: I think I am wrong, just looks like a liverie Not sure how it could be a genuine Milwaukee Yamaha MotoGp bike as there is no such thing. You might mean the Milwaukee Yamaha from British Superbike though it has headlamps. It has pillion seat... so its a road bike with a sticker kit on it to make it look like a race bike. I have to say, when I was young I didnt tend to think so much about safety on bikes. I remember back in about 1997 I was dating this 20 year old blonde, blue eyed Finnish bird who was pretty hot. She`d go pillion on the back of my ZX7R wearing a short skirt, skin tight leggings/tights/stockings and high heals. Id make sure she had a leather jacket & helmet on but even so, thinking about it now, skin tight leggings are hardly going to offer much protection. Still, it did give the cars following us something nice to look at. Its only when you crash you realise how vulnerable you are. Fortunately whenever ive crashed ive been fully Dianese`d up. Still, I think the turning point for me was when I nearly flipped my R1 trying to impress a bunch of young girls at a bus stop. Id just washed it and thought id just take it for a quick spin to warm it up wearing t-shirt & shorts (as you do cos its summer). The front wheel came up a lot quicker than I was expecting in 1st, and im pretty sure the bike was vertical with me hanging on before I stomped on the back brake. Of course, the front end then came down quicker than a hookers drawers on a Friday night, resulting in throwing me forward against the tank with such force that it felt like someone had just hit me in the crown jewels with a sledge hammer. It certainly bought tears to my eyes. From then on, I religiously make sure im wearing the right gear whenever I go out - even when nipping to the shops.
