Biker in a mask

[Jim W.]

Saw something odd yesterday. A biker on 465 wearing a evil black mask, leather vest and a handgun strapped to his belt. I didn't see any patches.

 

[HoughMade]

What did you deem odd about this? That he was stopped? Covering one's nose and mouth while riding isn't that unusual...neither is is wearing leather and open carry is legal with the LTCH.

 

[Jim W.]

odd in that it was a full face mask. devilish looking without horns.

back when i had a bike i would wear a half skull mask in the fall or spring when it was colder. Some people just want to try to look like hardasses. If he didnt have any patches then he wasnt anybody

 

[HoughMade]

It's not my style, but to each his own...

This is a spoof thread, right? Where is the original? It must be a really good one.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Was he on an "old style" bike?

Not a chopper... Not a cruiser...

But kind of like an early 80's sport-bike looking machine?

(Times like these when I wish I knew more about bikes...)

Kind of like this: Thruxton | Triumph Motorcycles ??

Was it raining at the time? Rain hurts on a bike!

 

[PRasko]

Screw rain, ever catch a june bug in the back of your throat at 55mph?

**** hurts man

They're kind of a thing for some bikers. I think they're odd, but you'll see 'em.

A lot of the bass boat guys wear them for protection, clipping ducks and things is dangerous.

Probably a Harley guy being forced to ride a Honda that day and didn't want anyone to recognize him!!

...Some people just want to try to look like hardasses. If he didnt have any patches then he wasnt anybody. If he did have patches, he still wasn't anybody, but he wasn't anybody...in a group.

FIFY

I wear a half mask and goggles when I'm on my jetski's. It goes on before I even put on my vest.

Dragonflies at 40+mph hurt like hell.

Probably a guy that couldn't get his Harley started so he rode his Honda!!!

 

[ModernGunner]

Should we be 'concerned'?

I do ride, and the Rain stings at 20 mph, but the sun burn from lots of riding can hurt some big ol' mean dudes face.
(and he doesn't wanta get caught using skin so soft.) lol
