attention all Squids

[TFOGGuys]

This guy was a jackass, as you can see it from the look on his face he had no clue was either durgged up or drunk . People like that need to suit up or just stay off the road. Probably was trying to show off for some hot chick ha ha serves him right.

And her failing?

Yeah, I know everyone here has seen these pics, but the message still rings true. I've been riding on the street for more than 25 years, and until 2 weeks ago, I'd never had an accident (long story, some fucktard decided to back into me after stopping on a residential street to look at a lawnmower for sale). My gear had no effect on the fact that I was uninjured, but I still wear it every day.

That is the reason right there that everyone should wear gear, IMO. You can be the best, saftest, most experienced racer in the world and the grocery getter can always take you out. I would rather skid down the road protected then end up needing a skin graph.

[Spiderman]

please dont bother showing up on ANY of our rides then.

What I think Sasch is really trying to say has already been summed up in the original (aka "pre-forum") club rules.

[SaShWhO]

I see.
accidents only happen when one is unskilled or riding fast in the canyons.
perhaps thats how it was back on Venus but here on Earth~~NOT

lady~~~no offense but your sounding pretty naive and stupid.




like I said.

if you show up dressed in your grocery gettin clothes hoping to ride the canyons with us you'll get disappointed.

so be it.

Gear Nazi!!

Children, now simmer down...

Here's my take on it (my opinion/interpretation):
Sasch, you're imposing your own gear rules (what you think you should wear) based on how you plan on riding during a group ride, expecting she's going to ride at the same level regardless of what she's wearing.

From the sounds of it, if she actually were to show up for a group ride wearing only jeans and a t-shirt, she has the common sense to ride at a much more moderate/conservative pace. My advice if this happens, don't let her ride point so you won't get frustrated riding behind her at her pace.

I just hope that common sense prevails when we do decide to get geared up for a group ride, and that, regardless of when or where, nobody has to find out the hard way about pain & discomfort that gear could've prevented.

Now play nice so I don't have to put you in the corner for a time-out!

Sash, you're so eloquent.

Sasch - that wasn't directed solely at you - that was also intended for anyone wanting to get in at either extreme of the debate.

[SaShWhO]

I know
why dont we organize a nekkid noob ride.

[Devaclis]

I'm in!

[Spiderman]

Followed by nekkid co-ed volleyball??

I'm sorry, I seem to have repeatedly fallen on your female teammates.

Thanks Spiderman for being understanding. And SaShWho It is that way on Venus cuz it’s so fuck’n hot lol. FYI if I was riding with sport bikes through the canyon I would gear up duh. Nuff said.

[born2ride]

I ride with sandals and shorts around town from time to time because it's what I put on that day, I don’t see what the big deal is. I have been riding for 18 years and never laid my bike down or ever been close to being in an accident. It’s all about being in control and aware of your surroundings. Now if I was white lining it between cars or seeing how fast my bike can take a corner then yes I would suit up for the occasion. The way I see it’s my life I know the outcome and will take my chances, like they say if I’m going out its on two wheels.

18 years without even close to an accident? Do you even have a bike?

[Heater]

If they made them in a wedge I'd totally rock those. That way when the paramedics show up because some idiot cager ran me off the road I'd be HOT in my moto-sandals!! Good find Sasha!! Ur my hero for the day

[Airborne Helly]

I don't think anyone has a right to tell anyone else what or what not to wear, or say their stupid cause they don't dress like u. Come on, just cause u rock ur gear all the time doesn't make u better, that's just ur choice. When it comes down to it right and wrong is simply a matter of opinion, so don't assume ur right cause that's just ur opinion. And to say she couldn't come on a group ride with u just makes u sound like a dick, IMO. Who are u, her dad? What's it to u what she wears?

I only ride with dicks then.

WTF. Your riding Sash dick! Aren't you tooooooo HEAVY for him, He's tooo tall and skinny.

[sp0rtygrl]

As a matter of fact I have owned four sport bikes. My current bike I have put 6000 miles on it in two years, so to answer your next question, yes I do ride it.

[MetaLord 9]

that was also intended for anyone wanting to get in at either extreme of the debate.

I'm not sure that have an extreme view on either side merits being barned or banned. I think acting like a dick b/c of it might fall into that category, but not expressing a far-from-center opinion...
