I saw a Pirate with a helmet on today!
« on: August 30, 2022, 10:53:10 PM »
and full gear, riding a Harley bagger. Full face helmet, jacket, gloves, boots and didn't notice the pants but he was wearing some.

I can't tell you the last time I saw a Harley rider in full gear around here...the occasional brain bucket, half helmet but never a full face. He may be thrown out of the pirate's club.

Something related - I went for a ride on the Helix on Sunday afternoon...big day for riders, saw a lot of Harleys out there (and nothing else). I had my white full face Shoei helmet, jacket, gloves, riding shoes..and shorts on. I gave the wave to every Harley I saw and got 1 halfhearted wave in return.

It's funny watching the confusion on their faces...they want to wave, then they see it's a...a...scooter! With a guy wearing gear! NOOOOOO! Must...not...wave.... Some almost start the wave and then realize what they may be waving at and quickly retract the hand.. 8)

Aw heck, I misread that.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.
